The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual
occupational wage surveys in metropolitan areas is de
signed to provide data on occupational earnings, and estab
lishment practices and supplementary wage provisions. It
yields detailed data by selected industry divisions for each
of the areas studied, for economic regions, and for the
United States. A m ajor consideration in the program is
the-Qeed for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages
by occupational category and skill lev el, and (2) the struc
ture and level of wages among areas and industry divisions.
At the end of each survey, an individual area bul
letin presents survey results for each area studied. After
completion of all of the individual area bulletins for a
round of su rveys, a two-part summ ary bulletin is issued.
The first part brings data for each of the metropolitan
areas studied into one bulletin. The second part presents
information which has been projected from individual m e t
ropolitan area data to relate to economic regions and the
United States.
Eighty-two areas currently are included in the
program . Information on occupational earnings is collected
annually in each area. Information on establishment p ra c
tices and supplementary wage provisions is obtained bien
nially in m ost of the areas.

Occupational Wage Survey—Lubbock, Tex.
Introduction
This area is 1 of 82 in which the U .S . Department of L abor's
Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings
and related wage benefits on an areawide b a sis.
Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for
fu ll-tim e w o rk ers, i . e . , those hired to work a regular weekly schedule
in the given occupational classification . Earnings data exclude p re
m ium pay fo r overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts.
Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but co st-of-liv in g
bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are
reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is to the work
schedules (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which straight-tim e
salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have
been rounded to the nearest half dollar.
This bulletin presents current occupational employment and
earnings information obtained largely by m ail from the establishments
visited by Bureau field econom ists in the last previous survey for
occupations reported in that earlier study. P ersonal visits were made
to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes
since the previous survey.
The averages presented reflect com posite, areawide estim ates.
Industries and establishm ents differ in pay level and job staffing and,
thus, contribute differently to the estim ates for each job.
The pay
relationship obtainable from the averages may fail to reflect accurately
the wage spread or differential maintained among jobs in individual
establishm ents. Sim ilarly, differences in average pay levels for men
and women in any of the selected occupations should not be assum ed to
reflect differences in pay treatment of the sexes within individual e s
tablishm ents. Other possible factors which may contribute to differ
ences in pay for men and women include: Differences 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 sam e
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.
In each a rea, data are obtained from representative estab
lishm ents within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; tran s
portation, communication, and other public utilities; w holesale trade;
retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and se r v ic e s. M ajor
industry groups excluded from these studies are government opera
tions and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments
having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because
they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied
to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the
broad industry divisions which m eet publication criteria .
These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of
the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishm ents.
To
obtain optimum accuracy at minimum co st, a greater proportion of
large than of sm all establishments is studied. In combining the data,
however, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s
tim ates 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 estim ates 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 e s
tablishm ents, the estim ates 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 clerica 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 interestablishm ent variation
in duties within the sam e 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 r ie s
tables because either (l) employment in the occupation is too sm all
to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is p o ssi
bility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
Establishment P ractices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supple
mentary wage provisions (B -s e r ie s tables) are not presented in this
bulletin.
Information for these tabulations is collected biennially in
this area.
These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for
inexperienced women office w orkers; shift differentials; scheduled
weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance,
and pension plans; are presented (in the B -s e r ie s tables) in previous
bulletins fo r this a rea.

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups
Presented in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change
in average salaries of office clerica l workers and industrial nu rses,
and in average earnings of selected plant worker groups.
For office clerical workers and industrial n u rses, the p er
centages of change relate to average weekly salaries for norm al hours
of work, that i s , the standard work schedule for which straight-tim e
salaries are paid. . For plant worker groups, they m easure changes
in average straight-tim e 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 m ost 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; clerk s, accounting,
class A and B; clerk s, file , class A , B , and C; cle rk s, order; clerk s,
payroll; Comptometer operators; keypunch operators, cla ss A and B;
office boys and g irls; 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; m echanics, automotive; painters; pipefitters; and tool and
die m akers; unskilled— janitors, p o rters, arid cleaners; and lab orers,
m aterial 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 m easure, 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 w orkers 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.

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 w ill be collected by a personal
visit by Bureau field economists next year, data for these occupations w ill
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.

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-tim e, temporary, and probationary wodcers.
