For office clerical w orkers and industrial nurses, the p er centages of change relate to average weekly salaries for normal hours of work, that is, the standard work schedule for which straight-time salaries are paid. For plant worker groups, they measure changes in average straight-time hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The percentages are based on data for selected key occupations and in clude most of the numerically important jobs within each group. The office clerical data are based on men and women in the following 19 jobs: Bookkeeping-machine operators, class B; clerks, accounting, class A and B; clerks, file, class A, B, and C; clerks, order; clerks, payroll; Comptometer operators; keypunch operators, class A and B; office boys and girls; secretaries; stenographers, general; stenogra phers, senior; switchboard operators; tabulating-machine operators, class B; and typists, class A and B, The industrial nurse data are based on men and women industrial nurses. Men in the following 8 skilled maintenance jobs and 2 unskilled jobs are included in the plant worker data: Skilled—carpenters; electricians; machinists; me chanics; mechanics, automotive; painters; pipefitters; and tool and die makers; unskilled—janitors, porters, and cleaners; and lab orers, m aterial handling. Average weekly salaries or average hourly earnings w ere 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 easure, principally, the effects of (1) general salary and wage changes; (2) m erit or other increases in pay received by individual w orkers 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 w orkers employed by establishments with different pay levels. 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 w orkers 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-time hours. They are not influenced by changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by premium pay for overtime. Data presented in table 2 and all A -series tables include, where applicable, the recently negotiated pay increase for most nonoperating railroad employees. These workers were granted 9 cents an hour retroactive to January 1964. 5 A. Occupational Earnings Table A-l.

Appendix A. Changes in Occupational Descriptions Draftsm an. The revised descriptions for draftsman (class A, B, and C; and draftsm an-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 com parable to data previously published. In areas where current em ploym ent and earnings information was collected largely by m ail this year and w ill 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 draftsm an and switchboard operator were revised in order to obtain salary inform ation 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 c alls handled and types of inform ation provided. The com bination of class A and class B data, where both are published, is com parable to the single designation, if previously published. The revised occupational descriptions are included in appendix B. 30 Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions The prim ary 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 em ployed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishm ent to establishm ent and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content. Because of this em phasis on interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m ay differ significantly from those in use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’ s field econom ists are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary workers.
