Occupational Wage Survey—Boston, Mass.
Introduction
m ium pay fo r o v ertim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, holidays, and late
sh ifts. N onproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t-o f-liv in g bonuses
and incentive earnings are included. W here w eekly hours are rep orted ,
as fo r o ffic e c le r ic a l occu p ation s, re fe re n ce is to the w ork schedules
(rounded to the n ea rest half hour) fo r which straigh t-tim e salaries
are paid; average w eekly earnings fo r these occupations have been
rounded to the n earest half d olla r.
This area is 1 o f 82 in which the U .S. Departm ent o f
L a b o r's Bureau o f Labor S tatistics conducts surveys o f o ccu p a
tional earnings and related wage benefits on an areaw ide b a sis.
In this area, data w ere obtained by p erson a l v isits o f Bureau field
econ om ists 1 to represen tative establishm ents within six broad industry
d ivision s: Manufacturing; tran sportation , com m unication, and other
public u tilities; w h olesale trade; re ta il trade; finance, in su ran ce, and
rea l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor industry groups excluded fro m these
studies are governm ent operations and the con stru ction and extractive
in du stries. E stablishm ents having few er than a p r e s c r ib e d number o f
w ork ers are om itted becau se they tend to furnish insufficient em p loy
ment in the occupations studied to w arrant in clusion. Separate tabu
lations are provided fo r each o f the broad industry division s which
m eet publication c r ite r ia .
D iffe re n ce s in average pay levels fo r men and wom en in any
o f the se le cte d occupations should not be assum ed to re fle ct d iffe r
ences in pay treatm ent o f the sexes within individual establishm ents.
The a verages presen ted re fle ct com p osite, areaw ide estim ates. In
dustries and establishm ents d iffer in pay lev el, job staffing, and
in the extent to which m en and wom en are em ployed and, thus, c o n
tribute d ifferen tly to the estim ates. Other p ossib le fa ctors which m ay
contribute to d iffe re n ce s in pay include: D ifferen ces in p ro g re ssio n
within established rate ran ges, sin ce only the actual rates paid
incumbents are co lle cte d ; and d ifferen ces in sp e cific duties p erform ed ,
although the w ork ers are appropriately cla s s ifie d within the same
survey job d escrip tion . Job d escrip tion s used in cla ssify in g em ployees
in these su rveys are usually m ore gen eralized than those used in
individual establishm ents and allow for m inor d ifferen ces among e s
tablishm ents in the sp e c ific duties p erform ed .
T hese surveys are conducted on a sam ple b a sis becau se o f
the u n n ecessary co s t involved in surveying a ll establishm ents. To
obtain optimum a ccu ra cy at m inim um c o s t, a g rea ter p rop ortion of
large than o f sm a ll establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data,
h ow ever, all establishm ents are given th eir appropriate weight. E s
tim ates based on the establishm ents studied are presen ted , th e re fo re ,
as relating to a ll establishm ents in the industry grouping and area,
except fo r those below the m inim um size studied.
Occupational em ploym ent estim ates represen t the total in
all establishm ents within the scop e o f the study and not the number
actually surveyed. B ecause of d ifferen ces in occupational structure
among establish m en ts, the estim ates of occupational em ploym ent
obtained fro m the sam ple o f establishm ents studied serve only to
indicate the relative im portance o f the jobs studied. These d iffe r
ences in occupational stru ctu re do not m a teria lly affect the accu ra cy
o f the earnings data.
Occupations and Earnings
The occupations se le cte d fo r study are com m on to a va riety
o f m anufacturing and nonmanufacturing in d u stries, and are o f the
follow ing types: (1) O ffice c le r ic a l; (2) p ro fe ssio n a l and tech n ical;
(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) cu stod ial and m a teria l m o v e
ment. Occupational cla s s ifica tio n is based on a uniform set o f job
d escrip tion s designed to take account o f interestablishm ent variation
in duties within the sam e jo b . The occupations selected fo r study
are listed and d e scrib e d in appendix B. Earnings data fo r som e o f
the occupations listed and d e scrib e d are not p resen ted in the A -s e r ie s
tables becau se either (1) em ploym ent in the occupation is too sm a ll
to provide enough data to m erit presen tation, o r (2) there is p o s s i
bility of d isclo su re o f individual establishm ent data.
Establishm ent P r a c tic e s and Supplementary Wage P rov ision s
Inform ation is presen ted (in the B -s e r ie s tables) on selected
establishm ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary wage p rov ision s as they
relate to o ffic e and plant w o rk e rs. A dm in istrative, execu tive, and
p ro fe ssio n a l e m p loyees, and fo rce -a cco u n t con stru ction w ork ers who
are u tilized as a separate w ork fo rce are excluded. "O ffice w o rk e rs"
include working su p e rv iso rs and n on su p ervisory w ork ers p erform in g
c le r ic a l or related functions. "Plant w o rk e rs " include working forem en
and a ll n on su p ervisory w ork ers (including leadm en and trainees) en
gaged in n onoffice functions. C afeteria w ork ers and routem en are
excluded in manufacturing in d u stries, but included in nonmanufacturing
in du stries.
O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r
fu ll-tim e w o rk e r s , i. e. , those h ired to w ork a regu lar w eekly schedule
in the given occupational cla s s ifica tio n . Earnings data exclude p r e
1 Data were obtained by mail from some o f the smaller establishments for which visits by
Bureau field economists in the last previous survey indicated employment in relatively few o f the
occupations studied. Unusual changes reported by mail were verified with employers.

M inimum entrance sa la rie s (table B - l ) relate only to the e s
tablishm ents v isite d . They are p resen ted in term s o f establishm ents
with form a l m inim um entrance sa la ry p o lic ie s .
o r fla t-su m am ounts. H ow ever, in the tabulations o f vacation pay,
payments not on a tim e basis w ere con verted to a tim e b a sis; for
exam ple, a payment o f 2 p ercen t o f annual earnings was con sid ered
as the equivalent o f 1 week*s pay.
Shift d ifferen tia l data (table B -2 ) are lim ited to plant w ork ers
in manufacturing in d u stries. This in form ation is presen ted both in
term s o f (1) establishm ent p o li c y ,2 presen ted in term s o f total plant
w ork er em ploym ent, and (2) e ffectiv e p r a c tic e , p resen ted in term s o f
w ork ers actually em ployed on the s p e cifie d shift at the tim e o f the
su rvey. In establishm ents having v a rie d d iffe re n tia ls, the amount
applying to a m a jo rity was used o r , if no amount applied to a m a jority ,
the cla ss ifica tio n "o th e r " was used. In establishm ents in which som e
la te-sh ift hours are paid at n orm a l ra te s, a d ifferen tia l was re co rd e d
only if it applied to a m a jo rity o f the shift h ou rs.
Data are presen ted fo r all health, in su ran ce, and pension
plans (tables B -6 and B -7 ) fo r which at least a part o f the cost is
borne by the em p lo y e r, excepting only legal requirem ents such as
w o rk m en ^ com pen sation, s o c ia l secu rity , and railroad retirem en t.
Such plans include those underw ritten by a co m m e rcia l insurance
com pany and those p rovided through a union fund or paid d ire ctly
by the em p loyer out o f cu rren t operating funds or from a fund set
aside fo r this pu rp ose. Death benefits are included as a form of
life in su ran ce.
The scheduled w eekly hours (table B -3) o f a m a jo rity o f the
fir s t-s h ift w ork ers in an establishm ent a re tabulated as applying to
all o f the plant or o ffic e w ork ers o f that establishm ent. P aid holidays;
paid vacations; and health, in su ran ce, and pension plans (tables
B -4 through B -7 ) are treated sta tistica lly on the basis that these are
applicable to a ll plant or o ffic e w ork ers if a m a jo rity o f such w ork ers
a re elig ib le or m ay eventually qualify fo r the p ra ctice s listed . Sums
o f individual item s in tables B -2 through B -7 m ay not equal totals
becau se o f rounding.
Data on paid holidays (table B -4 ) a re lim ited to data on
holidays granted annually on a fo rm a l b a s is; i. e. , (1) are provided
fo r in w ritten fo rm , or (2) have been establish ed by cu stom . Holidays
ord in a rily granted are included even though they m ay .fa ll on a non
w orkday, even if the w ork er is not granted another day off. The fir st
part of the paid holidays table p resen ts the num ber o f whole ^ind half
holidays actually granted. The secon d part com bines whole and half
holidays to show total holiday tim e .
Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of
insurance under which pred eterm ined cash payments are made d irectly
to the in su red on a w eekly or m onthly basis during illn ess or accident
d isa b ility. Inform ation is p resen ted fo r all such plans to which the
em p loyer con tribu tes. H ow ever, in New Y ork and New J e rse y , which
have enacted te m p o ra ry d isability insurance laws which requ ire e m
p lo y e r con tribu tion s, 3 plans are included only if the em p loyer (1) c o n
tributes m o re than is leg a lly requ ired , or (2) p rovid es the em ployee
with benefits which exceed the requ irem en ts of the law. Tabulations
o f paid sick leave plans are lim ited to form a l p la n s4 which provide
fu ll pay or a p rop ortion o f the w orker*s pay during absence from w ork
b ecau se o f illn e s s . Separate tabulations are presen ted accord in g to
(1) plans which provide fu ll pay and no waiting p eriod , and (2) plans
which p rovid e either partial pay or a waiting p eriod . In addition to
the presentation o f the p rop ortion s o f w ork ers who are provided
sick n ess and acciden t insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated
total is shown of w ork ers who r e ce iv e either or both types of ben efits.
The sum m ary o f vacation plans (table B -5 ) is lim ited to
fo rm a l p o lic ie s , excluding in form a l arrangem ents w h ereby tim e o ff
with pay is granted at the d is cre tio n o f the e m p loyer. Separate
estim ates are p rovided accord in g to em p loyer p ra ctice in computing
vacation paym ents, such as tim e paym ents, percen t of annual earnings,
Catastrophe in su ran ce, som etim es r e fe r r e d to as extended
m e d ica l in su ran ce, includes those plans which are designed to protect
em p loyees in ca se o f sick n ess and in ju ry involving expenses beyond
the n orm a l co v e ra g e o f h ospitalization, m ed ica l, and su rg ica l plans.
M ed ical insurance r e fe r s to plans providing for com plete or partial
payment of doctors* fe e s . Such plans m ay be underw ritten by c o m
m e r c ia l insurance com panies or nonprofit organizations or they m ay
be se lf-in s u r e d . Tabulations o f retirem en t pension plans are lim ited
to those plans that provide m onthly payments fo r the rem ainder of
the w orker*s life .
2 An establishment was considered as having a p olicy if it m et either o f the following
conditions; (1) Operated late shifts at the tim e of the survey, or (2) had formal provisions covering
late shifts. An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1) had operated late
shifts during the 12 months prior to the survey, or (2) had provisions in written form for operating
late shifts.
The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer
contributions.
4 An establishment was considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the
minimum number o f days o f sick leave available to each em ployee. Such a plan need not be
written, but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, were excluded.

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups
Presented in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change
in average salaries of office clerical workers and industrial n u rses,
and in average earnings of selected plant worker groups.
F or o ffic e c le r ic a l w o rk e rs and industrial n u rs e s, the p e r
centages of change relate to average w eekly sa la ries fo r n orm al hours
of w ork , that is , the standard w ork schedule fo r which stra igh t-tim e
sa la ries are paid. F or plant w ork er g rou p s, they m easu re changes
in average straight-tim e hourly ea rn in g s, excluding prem ium pay for
overtim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, h olidays, and late shifts. The
p ercen tages are based on data for se le cte d key occupations and in

Average weekly salaries or average hourly earnings were
computed for each of the selected occupations. The average salaries
or hourly earnings were then multiplied by employment in each of
the jobs during the period surveyed in 1961. These weighted earnings
for individual occupations were then totaled to obtain an aggregate for
each occupational group. Finally, the ratio (expressed as a percentage)
of the group aggregate for the one year to the aggregate for the other
year was computed and the difference between the result and 100 is
the percentage of change from the one period to the other.
The
indexes were computed by multiplying the ratios for each group
aggregate for each period after the base year (1961).
The indexes and percentages of change m easu re, principally,
the effects of (1) general salary and wage changes; (2) m erit or other
increases in pay received by individual workers while in the same
job; and (3) changes in average wages due to changes in the labor force
resulting from labor turnover, force expansions, force reductions,
and changes in the proportions of workers employed by establishments
with different pay lev els.
Changes in the labor force can cause
increases or decreases in the occupational averages without actual
wage changes.
For example, a force expansion might increase the
proportion of lower paid workers in a specific occupation and lower
the average, whereas a reduction in the proportion of lower paid
workers would have the opposite effect. Sim ilarly, the movement of
a high-paying establishment out of an area could cause the average
earnings to drop, even though no change in rates occurred in other
establishments in the area.
The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effect
of changes in the proportion of workers represented in each job in
cluded in the data.
The percentages of change reflect only changes in
average pay for straight-tim e hours.
They are not influenced by
changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by premium pay
for overtime.

Draftsman. The revised descriptions for draftsman (class A, B,
and C; and draftsman-tracer) replace the previous designations for drafts
man (leader, senior, and junior; and tracer) and emphasize the distinction
between drafting and design skills. Therefore, if data are presented for
any of these occupations, such data are not comparable to data previously
published. In areas where current employment and earnings information
was collected largely by mail this year and will be collected by a personal
visit by Bureau field economists next year, data for these occupations will
be presented next year.
Since the Bureau's last survey, occupational descriptions for
draftsman -and switchboard operator were revised in order to obtain salary
information for more specific categories.
Switchboard operator* The revised description for switchboard
operator arranges these workers into two defined classes (A and B) instead
of a single category, clarifying the criteria of types of calls handled and
types of information provided. The combination of class A and class B
data, where both are published, is comparable to the single designation,
if previously published.
The revised occupational descriptions are included in appendix B.

A p p e n d ix B .
O c c u p a tio n a l D e s c rip tio n s
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field
staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles
and different work arrangements from establishment 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 comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may
differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In
applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
OFFICE
BILLER, MACHINE

which may or may not be computed on the billing machine, and
totals which are automatically accumulated by machine. The oper
ation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of the bill
