The studies, made from late fa ll to ea rly spring, relate to occupational earnings and related supplementary benefits. A prelim in ary report is available on completion of the study in each area, usually in the month following the payroll period studied. This bulletin provides additional data not included in the ea rlie r report. A consolidated analytical bulletin summarizing the results of a ll of the year*s surveys is issued after completion of the final area bulletin for the current round of surveys. Introduction __________________________________________________________ Wage trends fo r selected occupational groups _____________________ 9 Occupational Wage Survey - Memphis, Tenn.# Introduction The Memphis area is one of several important industrial centers in which the Department of L a b o r s Bureau of L abor Statistics conducted su r veys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits. Although data are norm ally obtained by personal visits of Bureau field agents to representative establishments, data in this report were obtained chiefly by mail question naire. Current employment and earnings information was provided by the e s tablishments visited in February 1956, for occupations reported in that e a r lier study. Current information on related wage benefits was not collected. 1 In each area, data are obtained from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation (excluding railro ad s), communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. M ajor industry groups excluded from these studies, besides railroad s, are government op erations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments hav ing fewer than a p rescribed number of workers are omitted also because they furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied to warrant inclu sion. 2 W herever possible, separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnec essary cost involved in surveying all establishments. To obtain appropriate * This report was prepared in the B ureau’s regional office in Atlanta, Ga. , by Bernard J. Fah res, under the direction of Louis B. Woytych, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst. 1 Data for February 1956 are available in BLS Bull. 1188-12, Occupa tional Wage Survey, Memphis, Tenn. , for scheduled hours; shift differentials; minimum entrance rate for women office w orkers; holiday and vacation pay provisions; and health, insurance, and pension plans. See table 1, footnote 2, for m inim um -size establishment covered. accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of sm all estab lishments is studied. In combining the data, however, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. Estimates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the in dustry grouping and area, except for those below the minimum size studied. Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manu facturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of inter establishment variation in duties within the same job (see appendix for listing of these descriptions). Earnings data are presented (in the A -s e r ie s tables) for the following types of occupations: (a) Office clerical; (b) professional and technical; (c) maintenance and powerplant; and (d) custodial and m aterial movement. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-tim e w orkers, i. e. , those hired to work a regular weekly schedule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude prem ium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded also, but cost-of-livin g bonuses and incentive earnings are in cluded. 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-time salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupa tions have been rounded to the nearest half dollar. Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all estab lishments 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 establish ments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not m aterially af fect the accuracy of the earnings data.

The workers within scope of study estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accu rate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other area employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (l) planning of wage surveys requires the use of estab lishment data compiled considerably in advance of the pay period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from scope of survey. Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum size-limitation (51 employees). All outlets (within the area) of com panies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion-picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. Also excludes taxicabs, and services incidental to water transportation. Since Memphis* electric and gas utilities are municipally operated, they are also excluded, by definition, from the scope of the studies. This industry division is represented in estimates for all industries and nonmanufacturing in the Series A tables, although coverage was insufficient to justify separate presentation of data. Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; radio broadcasting and television; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations; and engineering and architectural services. (i) 2 Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups The table below presents indexes of salaries of office clerical work ers and industrial nurses, and of average earnings of selected plant work er groups. For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the indexes r e late to average weekly salaries for normal hours of work, that is, the stand ard work schedule for which straight-tim e salaries are paid. F o r plant worker groups, they m easure changes in straight-tim e hourly earnings, ex cluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The indexes are based on data for selected key occupations and include most of the num erically important jobs within each group. The office clerical data are based on women in the following 18 jobs: B ille rs , machine (billing machine); bookkeeping-machine operators, class A and B; Comp tometer operators; clerks, file, class A and B; clerks, order; clerks, payroll; key-punch operators; office g irls; secretaries; stenographers, gen eral; switchboard operators; switchboard operator-receptionists; tabulatingmachine operators; transcribing-m achine operators, general; and typists, class A and B. The industrial nurse data are based on women industrial nurses. Men in the following 10 skilled maintenance jobs and 3 unskilled jobs were included in the plant worker data: Skilled— carpenters; electric ians; machinists; mechanics; mechanics, automotive; m illwrights; painters; pipefitters; sheet-metal workers; and tool and die m akers; unskilled— jan i tors, porters, and cleaners; lab o rers, m aterial handling; and watchmen. A verage weekly salaries or average hourly earnings were computed for each of the selected occupations. The average salaries or hourly earn ings were then multiplied by the average of January 1953 and January 1954 employment in the job. These weighted earnings for individual occupations were then totaled to obtain an aggregate for each occupational group. Finally the ratio of these group aggregates for a given year to the aggregate for the base period (survey month, winter 1952-53) was computed and the result multiplied by the base year index (100) to get the index for the given year. The indexes measure, principally, the effects of ( l) 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 the labor force such as labor turnover, force expansions, force reductions, and changes in the p ro portion of w orkers employed by establishments with different pay levels. Changes in the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the occupa tional averages without actual wage changes. For example, a force expansion might increase the proportion of low er paid w orkers in a specific occupation and result in a drop in the average, whereas a reduction in the proportion of lower paid workers would have the opposite effect. The movement of a highpaying establishment out of an area could cause the average earnings to drop, even though no change in rates occurred in other establishments. The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effects of changes in the proportion of w orkers represented in each job included in the data. N or are the indexes influenced by changes in standard work schedules or in premium pay for overtime, since they are based on pay for straighttime hours. Indexes for the period 1953 to 1956 for w orkers in 15 major labor markets appeared in BLS Bull. 1188, Wages and Related Benefits, 17 L abo r M arkets, 1955-56.

This is essential in order to permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on inter establishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau*s job descriptions may differ signifi cantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau*s field representatives are instructed to exclude work ing supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped workers, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
