Introduction --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wage trends fo r selected occupational groups ______________________ vO The Labor M arket Occupational Wage Su rve y P ro g ra m 11 Occupational Wage Survey—Dayton, Ohio Introduction This a r e a is 1 of 82 labor m a rk e ts in which the U.S. D e p artm e n t of L a b o r's B ureau of Labor S tatistics conducts s u rv e y s of occupational earnings and re la te d wage benefits on an areaw id e b asis. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for fu ll-t im e w o r k e r s , i.e ., those h ire d to w o rk a re g u la r w eekly schedule in the given occupational c lassific atio n . Earnings data exclude p r e m ium pay fo r o vertim e and for w o rk on weekends, holidays, and late sh ifts. Nonproduction bonuses a r e excluded, but c o s t-o fliving bonuses and incentive earnings a r e included. Where weekly hours a re re p o rte d , as for office c le r i c a l occupations, re fe re n c e is to the w o rk schedules (rounded to the n e a re s t half hour) for which s tra ig h t-tim e s a la r i e s a re paid; a v e rag e w e e kly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the n e a re s t half d ollar. This bulletin p re s e n t s c u rre n t occupational em ployment and earnings in fo rm ation obtained la r g e ly by m ail fro m the estab lish m en ts v is ite d by B ureau fie ld econom ists in the la st previou s s u r v e y for occupations re p o rte d in that e a r l i e r study. P e r s o n a l v is it s w e r e made to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes since the p re v io u s s u rv e y . In each a r e a , data a r e obtained fr o m re p re s e n ta tiv e e s t a b lish m e n ts within s ix bro ad in d u s try divisions: Manufacturing; t r a n s portation, com munication, and other public utilities; w h o lesale trad e ; r e t a i l tr a d e ; finance, in s u ra n c e , and r e a l estate; and s e r v i c e s . M ajor in d u s try groups excluded fr o m these studies are governm ent o p e r a tions and the con structio n and e x tra ctiv e in d ustries. Establishm ents having fe w e r than a p r e s c r i b e d number of w o rk e rs a r e omitted b ecause they tend to fu rn is h insufficient employment in the occupa tions studied to w a r r a n t inclusion. Separate tabulations a r e p rovided fo r each of the bro ad in d u s try divisions which m eet publication criteria. D ifferen ces in pay le v e ls fo r s elected occupations in which both m en and women a r e commonly employed a r e la rg e ly due to (1) d iffe ren c e s in the distribution of the sexes among industries and estab lish m e n ts; (2) d iffe ren c e s in specific duties p e rfo rm e d , although the occupations are a p p ro p ria te ly c la s s ifie d within the same s u rv e y job description; and (3) d iffe ren c e s in length of s e r v ic e or m e r it re v i e w when individual s a la r i e s are adjusted on this basis. Longer a v e rag e s e r v i c e of men would re s u lt in higher a v e rag e pay when both sexes are employed within the same rate range. Job d e s c r ip tions used in c lassifyin g em ployees in these s u rv e y s are usually m o re ge n eraliz e d than those used in individual establishm ents to allow fo r m inor d iffe ren c e s among estab lish m en ts in specific duties p e rfo rm e d . These s u rv e y s a r e conducted on a sample b asis because of the u n n e c e s s a r y cost in volved in surveying all e stab lish m en ts. To obtain optimum a c c u r a c y at minimum cost, a g re a te r pro p ortion of la rg e than of s m a ll e stab lish m e n ts is studied. In combining the data, h o w e v er, a ll e stab lis h m e n ts a r e given th eir appropriate weight. E s t i m a te s b ased on the estab lish m e n ts studied a r e p resented, th e re fo re , as re la tin g to a ll e stab lis h m e n ts in the in d ustry grouping and a re a , except fo r those below the minimum size studied. Occupational employment e stim a te s r e p r e s e n t the total in all e stab lish m en ts within the scope of the study and not the number actu a l ly surveyed . Because of d iffe ren c e s in occupational s tru ctu re among estab lish m e n ts, the e stim ate s of occupational employment obtained fr o m the sample of estab lish m en ts studied s e r v e only to indicate the r e la tiv e im portance of the jobs studied. These d iffe ren c e s in occu pational s tru c tu re do not m a t e r i a l ly affect the a c c u ra c y of the e a r n ings data. Occupations and E arnings The occupations s elec te d fo r study are common to a v a r i e t y of m anufacturing and nonmanufacturing in d ustries, and a re of the following ty p es: (a) Office c le r i c a l; (b) p ro fe s s io n a l and te chnical; (c) m aintenance and pow erp lant; and (d) custodial and m a t e r i a l m o v e ment. Occupational c la s s ific a tio n is based on a uniform set of job d e sc rip tio n s designed to take account of in te re stab lish m e n t v a r ia tio n in duties within the sam e job. The occupations selected fo r study are lis te d and d e s c r ib e d in the appendix. Earnings data fo r some of the occupations lis te d and d e s c rib e d are not p resented in the A - s e r i e s tables because e ith e r (1) em ployment in the occupation is too s m a ll to provid e enough data to m e r i t presentation, or (2) th e re is p o s s i b ility of d i s c lo s u r e of individual establishm ent data.

The p e rc e n ta g e s a r e based on data fo r s elected key occupations and i n clude m o st of the n u m e r i c a lly important jobs within each group. The o ffice c l e r i c a l data a r e based on men and women in the following 19 jo bs: Bookkeeping-m achine o p e r a to rs , class B; c le rk s , accounting, c las s A and B; c le r k s , file , c la s s A, B, and C; c le rk s , o rd e r; c le r k s , p a y ro ll; C om p tom eter o p e r a to r s ; keypunch o p e rato rs , c lass A and B; office boys and g i r l s ; s e c r e t a r i e s ; sten ograp h ers, general; sten ograp h ers, se n io r; sw itch b oard o p e r a to rs ; tabulating-machine o p e ra to rs , c la s s B; and ty p ists , c la s s A and B. The in d ustrial nurse data are based on men and women i n d u s tr ia l n u rses. Men in the following 8 skilled m aintenance jobs and 2 unskilled jobs a r e included in the plant w o r k e r data: S k ille d —c a r p e n te rs ; e le c tr ic ia n s ; m achinists; m echanics; m ec h an ic s, autom otive; p a in te rs ; p ip efitters; and tool and die m a k e rs ; u n skille d — j a n it o r s , p o r t e r s , and c le a n e rs ; and la b o r e r s , m a t e r i a l handling. A v e r a g e w e e k ly s a la r i e s or av erage h ou rly earnings w e re computed fo r each of the s elected occupations. The a v e rag e s a la r i e s or h o u rly e arn in g s w e r e then m ultiplied by employment in each of the jobs during the p e riod su rv e y e d in 1 9 8 1. These-weighted earnings fo r individual occupations w e r e then totaled to obtain an aggregate fo r each occupational group. F in a lly, the ratio (e x p re s se d as a p e r centage) of the group aggregate fo r the one y e a r to the aggregate fo r the oth er y e a r was computed and the d iffe ren c e between the re s u lt and 100 is the p e rcen ta ge of change fr o m the one p e riod to the other. The p erc en ta ge s of change m e a s u r e , p rin c ip a lly , the effects of (1) g e n eral s a l a r y and wage changes; (2) m e r it or other in c r e a s e s in pay re c e iv e d by individual w o r k e r s while in the same job; and (3) changes in av e ra g e wages due to changes in the labor force r e sulting fr o m lab or tu rn o v e r, fo rc e expansions, fo rc e reductions, and changes in the p rop ortion s of w o r k e r s employed by establishm ents with d ifferen t pay le v e ls . Changes in the lab or fo rc e can cause in c r e a s e s or d e c r e a s e s in the occupational a v e ra g e s without actual wage changes. F o r exam ple, a fo rc e expansion might in c re a s e the p r o portion of lo w e r paid w o r k e r s in a specific occupation and low er the av e ra g e , w h e re a s a reduction in the p rop ortion of .lower paid w o rk e r s would have the opposite effect. S i m i la r ly , the movement of a high-paying e stab lish m en t out of an a r e a could cause the average earnings to drop, even though no change in ra te s o cc u rred in other estab lish m en ts in the are a . The use of constant employment weights elim inates the e f fect of changes in the p ro p ortion of w o r k e r s re p re s e n te d in each job included in the data. The p erc en ta ge s of change a r e not influenced by changes in standard w o rk schedules or in p re m iu m pay for o v e r tim e, since they a r e based on pay for stra ig h t-tim e hours. Wage indexes fo r s elected groups of w o r k e r s based on data fr o m the lab or m a rk e t s u rv e y s w e r e computed fo r 20 a r e a s between 1953 and I960. In 1961, the labor m a rk e t occupational wage p ro g ra m was expanded to include 80 Standard M etropolitan S ta tis tic a l A r e a s which w ill be s u rv e y e d annually. This expansion made data av ailab le fo r the computation of wage indexes fo r selected job groupings in each of the 80 a r e a s . The above text r e p r e s e n ts the method used in computing these new wage change indexes. The new s e r i e s was initiated la s t y e a r and the data a r e not com parable with tren d s published p r i o r to that time. The new s e r i e s c o v e rs the sam e job groupings as the e a r l i e r s e r i e s with the following exceptions: The c l e r i c a l and in d u s tria l n u rse groups, f o r m e r l y r e s t r i c t e d to women, now include both men and women. Changes w e r e also made in the jobs included within job groupings in o rd e r that an id entical lis t could be employed in a ll a r e a s . A: Occupational Earnings 4 Table A-l.
