Preface
The present study is the 16th in a series of su r
veys of occupational wages in m achinery (nonelectrical)
manufacturing industries, conducted by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Wage data fo r selected occupations in 21 labor
m arkets w ere co llected between M arch and June 1962.
Separate relea ses issu ed at the com pletion o f the survey
in each area, usually within a few weeks after the payroll
period studied, are available on request.
Most of the
occupational data relate to men w ork ers, but data for
women in a few jobs are shown in som e a reas.
This bulletin brings together and analyzes data
for all 21 a rea s. Occupational data are presented fo r the
m achinery industries as a whole in each of the areas, and
separately fo r special dies and tools, die sets, jig s and
fixtures, and m ach in e-tool a c c e s s o rie s and m easuring
devices in selected areas.
The distributions of w orkers
by occupational earnings contained in the separate area
relea ses are included here fo r six jo b s .
Data on wage
practices and supplementary benefits are presented for
the industry as a whole in each of the areas.
An analysis of occupational wage relationships in
m achinery manufacturing, based on individual plant data
for M arch—May 1961, also is included.
This bulletin was prepared by F red W. Mohr in
the Bureau*s D ivision o f Occupational Pay, under the gen
era l direction of H. M. Douty, Assistant C om m issioner
for Wages and Industrial Relations. Appendix A, O ccupa
tional Wage R elationships, was prepared by Jon B. Guyton.
F ield w ork fo r the survey was directed by the Assistant
R egional D ire cto rs for Wages and Industrial Relations.

1 Percentages show the relationship between straight-tim e average hourly earnings (excluding prem ium pay) fo r selected plant occupations
in machinery plants.
In each establishment covered the average hourly earnings for tim e-rated men janitors w ere used as a base (100); average
hourly earnings for tim eworkers (hourly-rated or salaried) and incentive w orkers (piecework or production bonus) in other occupations were
converted to a percentage of that base.
2 Labor markets studied have been grouped for this analysis as follow s: Northeast— Boston, Buffalo, Hartford, Newark and Jersey City,
New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and W orcester; South— Baltim ore, Dallas, and Houston; North Centra.!— Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit ,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis—St. Paul, and St. Louis; and West— Denver, Los Angeles—Long Beach, Portland, and San Francisco-O akland.
3 Number of establishments employing w orkers in the occupational category (and in the janitor category) too sm all to justify com parisons.
4 Number of establishments with incentive plans too small to justify com parisons for other than tim ew orkers.

Job evaluation system
Method of relating jobs
Ranking method -------------- Jobs are ranked in their order of re lative d ifficu lty or value to the
company, and grade levels are sometimes defined after the jobs
have been ranked.
C lassification method
Point method
--------- Jobs are allocated to grade levels which are defined arb itrarily prior
to evaluating jobs.
----------------
Jobs are related to factors. A restricted number of fa irly specific
factors are selected for application to a lim ited number of types of
work. The point values are predetermined before analysis of jobs
and are decided arb itrarily, and the degree of each factor is ex
pressed by a definition.
Factor-com parison method ---- Jobs are related by facto rial comparison. The factors used are
assumed to be fundam ental to a ll jobs and of universal ap plica
tion; the point values are set after analysis of jobs from existing
rates of key jobs, and the degrees of each factor are expressed
by sample jobs.
