Introduction__________________________________________________________________________ Wage trends for s e l e c t e d occupational g r o u p s ________________________________ 1 13 Area W age Survey----The Worcester, Mass., Metropolitan Area Introduction Occupational em p lo ym en t and earnings data are shown for f u l l - t i m e w o r k e r s , i . e . , those hired to work a regular weekly schedule in the given occupational c la s s if ic a t io n . Earnings data exclude p r e m iu m pay for o v e r t im e and for work on we ek ends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t - o f -l i v i n g bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reporte d, as for office c l e r i c a l occupations, r e fe r e n c e is to the stand ard workweek (rounded to the n ea re s t half hour) for which em ployee s r e c e iv e their regular s t r a i g h t -t i m e s a la r i e s (e xc lu siv e of pay for o v e r t im e at regular a n d /o r p r e m iu m r a t e s ). A v e r a g e weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the n ea re s t half dollar. This area is 1 of 86 in which the U.S. Dep artm en t of L a b o r 's Bureau of Labor Sta tistic s conducts surveys of occupational earnings and rela te d benefits on an areawide b a s i s . This bulletin p r e s e n ts current occupational em ploym en t and earnings info rm ation obtained la rgely by m ail fr o m the establishm ents v is ited by Bureau field ec o n om ists in the last prev ious su rvey for occupations reporte d in that ea r lier study. P e rs o n a l v isits w e r e made to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes since the previou s s u rvey . In each a re a , data are obtained fr o m r epresen ta tiv e e s t a b lish m en ts within si x broad industry divisio ns: Manufacturing; t r a n s portation, c om m u n ica tio n , and other public utilities; w h o le sale tra de; r etail trade; finance, in su ra n c e, and real estate; and s e r v i c e s . Major industry groups excluded fr o m these studies are government o p e r a tions and the con st ruction and ex tractive industries. Estab lish m en ts having fe w e r than a p r e s c r i b e d number of workers are omitted because they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied to w arrant in clusi on . Separa te tabulations are provided for each of the broad in du st ry d iv isio n s which mee t publication c r it e r i a . The a v e r a g e s presen te d r e fle c t c o m p o s it e , areawide e s t i m ates. Industries and e sta blis h m en ts differ in pay level and job staffing and, thus, contribute diffe re ntly to the e s tim a tes for each job. The pay rela tionship obtainable fr o m the a verages m ay fail to r efle ct a ccu rately the wage sprea d or diffe rential maintained among jobs in individual es t a b lis h m e n t s . S i m i la r l y , d iffe re n ce s in average pay le vels for men and wom en in any of the se lec ted occupations should not be as s u m e d to r e fle c t d iffe re n ce s in pay treatm en t of the sex es within individual e s ta b lis h m en ts . Other po s s ib le fa cto rs which may con trib ute to diffe re n ce s in pay for men and women include: D if fe re n ces in p r o g r e s s i o n within establis hed rate r a n g e s , since only the actual rates paid incumbents are collec ted ; and diffe re n ce s in specific duties p e r fo r m e d , although the w o r k e r s are approp riate ly c la s s if i e d within the s a m e survey job de sc ription . Job d e sc ription s used in cla ssifying e m ployees in these s u rvey s are usually m o r e g en eraliz ed than those used in individual e sta blish m en ts and allow for minor diffe re n ce s among esta blish m en ts in the specific duties p e rfo r m e d . T h e s e su r vey s are conducted on a sample basis becau se of the u n n e c e s s a r y c os t involved in surveying all es ta b lis h m en ts . To obtain optim um a c c u r a c y at m in im u m cost, a gre ater proportion of la rg e than of s m a l l e sta blish m en ts is studied. In combining the data, h ow ev er, all es t a b lis h m e n t s are given their appropriate weight. E s tim a te s b as e d on the e sta blis h m en ts studied are prese nte d, t h e r efo r e, as relating to all es ta blis h m en ts in the industry grouping and are a, except fo r those below the m in im u m size studied. Occupational em p lo ym en t e s tim a tes r ep r es e n t the total in all e sta blis h m en ts within the scope of the study and not the number a c tually surveyed. B ec a u s e of d i ffe re n ce s in occupational structure among es t a b lis h m e n t s , the e s tim a tes of occupational employment o b tained f r o m the sa m p le of e sta blis h m en ts studied s e r v e only to indicate the rela tive im portance of the jobs studied. Th ese d iffe ren ces in o c c u pational stru cture do not m a t e r i a l ly affect the a cc u r ac y of the e a r n ings data. Occupations and Earn ings Th e occupations s elected for study are com m on to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing in du stries, and are of the fo llo w ing t yp es : ( l ) O ffic e c l e r i c a l ; (2) p r o fes s io n al and technical; (3) m a i n tenance and powe rplant; and (4) custodial and m aterial m o v e m e n t . O c cupational c la s s if i c a t i o n is b ase d on a unifo rm set of job description s desi gn ed to take account of in te resta blish m en t variation in duties within the sa m e jo b . The occupations selected for study a re li sted and d e s c r ib ed in the appendix. The earnings data following the job title s are for all in du s tries c om b in ed. Earnings data for so me of the occupations lis t e d and d e s c r i b e d , or for so m e industry divisions within occupations, a re not pres e n te d in the A - s e r i e s tables because either ( l ) e m p lo y ment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m er it prese n ta tio n , or (2) th ere is po ssibilit y of dis c lo s u re of individual e s tablish m ent data.

The "w o rk ers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of com parison with other employment indexes for the area to m easure employment trends or levels since (l) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual and the 1963 Supplement were used in classifying establishm ents by industry division. 3 Includes all establishm ents with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. 4 Includes all w orkers in all establishm ents with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum lim itation. 5 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. 6 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a ll indu stries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons: (l) Employment in the division is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sam ple was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosu re of individual establishment data. 7 H otels; personal se rv ic e s; business s e rv ic e s ; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural service s.

Workers were distributed as follows: 17 at $4.20 to $4.40; and 2 at $4.40 and over. Appendix. Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’ s wage surveys is to assist its fie ld staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are em ployed under a variety o f payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishm ent to establishment and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m ay differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's fie ld economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, p a rt-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
