It yields detailed data by selected industry divisions for metropolitan area labor markets, for economic regions, and for the United States. A major consideration in the program is the need for greater insight into (l) the move ment of wages by occupational category and skill level, and (2) the structure and level of wages among labor markets and industry divisions.

After completion of all of the individual area bulletins for a round of surveys, a two-part summary bulletin is issued. The first part brings data for each of the labor markets studied into one bulletin. The second part presents information which has been projected from individual labor market data to relate to economic regions and the United States. This bulletin presents results of the survey in Little Rock— North Little Rock, Ark., in August 1964. It was prepared in the Bureau's regional office in Atlanta, Ga. , by Robert F. McNeely, under the direction of Donald M. Cruse, Regional Wage Analyst. 4 * NOTE: Similar tabulations are available for other areas. (See inside back cover.) Union scales, indicative of prevailing pay levels in the Little Rock— North Little Rock area, are also available for building construction, printing, local-transit operating employees, and motortruck drivers and helpers. H i 5 7 Occupational Wage Survey—Little Rock—North Little Rock, Ark. Introduction This area is 1 of 82 labor markets in which the U. S. D e partment of Labor’ s Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areawide basis. In this area, data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because they tend to furnish insufficient em ploy ment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion. Separate tabu lations are provided fo r each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria. reported, as for office cle rica l occupations, reference is to the work schedules (rounded to the nearest half hour) fo r which straight-time salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar. D ifferences in average pay levels for men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be assumed to reflect d iffe r ences in pay treatment of the sexes within individual establishments. The averages presented reflect com posite, areawide estimates. In dustries and establishments d iffer in pay level, job staffing, and in the extent to which men and women are employed and, thus, contribute differently to the estimates. Other possible factors which may con tribute to differences in pay include: D ifferences in progression within established rate ranges, since only the actual rates paid in cumbents are collected; and differences in specific duties perform ed, although the workers are appropriately classified within the same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying employees in these surveys are usually m ore generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among e s tablishments in the specific duties perform ed. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishments. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of small establishments is studied. In combining the data, however, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s timates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area, except for those below the minimum size studied. Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure among establishments, the estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not m aterially affect the accuracy of the earnings data. Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1) Office cle rica l; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m aterial m ove ment. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishmeiit variation in duties within the same job. The occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described are not presented in the A -s e rie s tables because either (1) employment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is p o ss i bility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions Information is presented (in the B -se rie s tables) on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions as they relate to office and plant workers. Administrative, executive, and professional em ployees, and force-a ccou n t construction workers who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded. ’’Office w orkers” include working supervisors and nonsupervisory workers performing clerica l or related functions. "Plant w orkers” include working fo r e men and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Cafeteria workers and routemen are excluded in manufacturing industries, but included in nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-tim e workers, i.e., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude p re mium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-liv in g bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are Minimum entrance salaries (table B -l) relate only to the e s tablishments visited. They are presented in terms of establishments with form al minimum entrance salary p olicies. 1 2 Shift differential data (table B-2) are limited to plant workers in manufacturing industries. This information is presented both in terms of (1) establishment policy, 1 presented in terms of total plant worker employment, and (2) effective practice, presented in terms of workers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a m ajority was used or, if no amount applied to a m ajority, the classification "other" was used. In establishments in which some late-shift hours are paid at normal rates, a differential was recorded only if it applied to a m ajority of the shift hours. The scheduled weekly hours (table B-3) of a m ajority of the first-sh ift workers in an establishment are tabulated as applying to all of the plant or office workers of that establishment. Paid holidays; paid vacations; health, insurance, and pension plans; and profit-sharing plans (tables B -4 through B-8) are treated statistically on the basis that these are applicable to all plant or office workers if a m ajority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the p ra c tices listed. Sums of individual items in tables B -2 through B -8 may not equal totals because of rounding. Data on paid holidays (table B -4) are limited to data on holidays granted annually on a form al basis; i. e . , (1) are provided for in written form , or (2) have been established by custom. Holidays ordinarily granted are included even though they may fall on a non workday, even if the worker is not granted another day off. The first part of the paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays actually granted. The second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday tim e. The summary of vacation plans (table B-5) is limited to form al p olicies, excluding inform al arrangements whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the employer. Separate estimates are provided according to employer practice in computing vacation payments, such as time payments, percent of annual earnings, or flat-sum amounts. However, in the tabulations of vacation pay, payments not on a time basis were converted to a time b asis; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of 1 week's pay. company and those provided through a union fund or paid directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose. Death benefits are included as a form of life insurance. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of insurance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly or monthly basis during illness or accident disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the em ployer contributes. However, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted tem porary disability insurance laws which require em ployer contributions, 2 plans are included only if the employer (l) con tributes m ore than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to form al plans3 which provide full pay or a proportion of the w orker's pay during absence from work because of illness. Separate tabulations are presented according to (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans which provide either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presentation of the proportions of workers who are provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of workers who receive either or both types of benefits. Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as extended m edical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect employees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, m edical, and surgical plans. Medical insurance refers to plans providing for com plete or partial payment of d octors' fees. Such plans may be underwritten by co m m ercial insurance companies or nonprofit organizations or they may be self-insured. Tabulations of retirement pension plans are limited to those plans that provide monthly payments for the remainder of the w orker's life. Data are presented for all health, insurance, and pension plans (tables B -6 and B-7) for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer, excepting only legal requirements such as workmen's compensation, social security, and railroad retirement. Such plans include those underwritten by a com m ercial insurance P rofit-sharing plans (table B-8) are limited to form al plans with definite formulas for computing profit shares to be distributed among employees and whose formulas were communicated to em ployees in advance of the determination of profits. Data are presented according to provisions for distributing profit shares to em ployees; (l) Current or cash distribution of profit shares within a short period after determination of profits; (2) deferred distribution of profit shares after a specified number of years or at retirem ent; (3) combination current and deferred plans; and (4) elective distribution plans, under which each participant is required to select whether to take his share of the current y e a r's profit in cash, have it deferred, or part in cash and part deferred. An establishment was considered as having a policy if it m et either of the following conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the time 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. 2 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer contributions. 3 An establishment was considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the minimum number of days of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, were excluded. 3 T able 1.

For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the per 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; m e chanics; mechanics, automotive; painters; pipefitters; and tool and die makers; unskilled— janitors, porters, and cleaners; and laborers, material handling. 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 measure, principally, the effects of (1) general salary and wage changes; (2) merit 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 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 workers would have the opposite effect. Similarly, 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. A.

Appendix A. Changes in Occupational Descriptions 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 salaryinformation 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. 21 Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions 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.
