Occupational Wage Survey, Milwaukee, W ls., A p ril 1953 U .S. DEPARTMENT (F LABOR Bureau o f Labor S t a t i s t i c s 19 Appendix - Scope and Method of Survey The Bureau18 occupational wage surveys are designed to provide a maximum of useful and reliable information with availa ble resources* In order to use resources efficiently and to pub lish results promptly, the surveys did not cover all establishments in the community* Although those studied are selected to provide representative results, no sample can reflect perfectly all differ ences in occupational structure, earnings, and working conditions among establishments. such jobs were included only for firms ments of the broad industry divisions. Because of the great variation in occupational structure among establishments, estimates of occupational employment are sub ject to considerable sampling fluctuation. Hence, they serve only to indicate the relative numerical importance of the jobs studied* The fluctuations in employment do not materially affect the aocuracy of the earnings data. The earnings information excludes premium pay for overtime and night work. Nonproduction bonuses are also excluded, but costof-living bonuses and incentive earnings, including commissions for salespersons, are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is to work schedules (rounded to the nearest half-hour) for which the straight-time sala ries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest 50 cents. The number of workers pre sented refers to the estimated total employment in all establish ments within the scope of the study and not to the number actually surveyed. Data are shown for only full-time workers, i.e., those hired to work the establishment’s full-time schedule for the given occupational classification. With the exception of the union rate scales, information presented in this bulletin was collected by visits of the Bureau1s field representatives to establishments included in the study. Occupational classification is based on & uniform set of job de scriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job; these job descriptions are available upon request* Six broad industry divisions were covered in compiling earnings data for the following types of occupations: (a) Office clerical; (b) professional and technical; (c) maintenance and power plant; and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables A-l through A-A). The industry groupings surveyed are: Manufacturing; transportation (except railroads), comrnunication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Information on work schedules and supple mentary benefits also was obtained in a representative group of es tablishments in each of these industry divisions. As indicated in the following table, only establishments above a certain size were studied. Smaller establishments were omitted because they fur nished insufficient employment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion. Among the industries in which characteristic jobs were studied, minimum size of establishment and extent of the area cov ered were determined separately for each industry (see following table). Although size limits frequently varied from those estab lished for surveying cross-industry office and plant jobs, data for meeting the size require A greater proportion of large than of small establishments was studied in order to maximize the number of workers surveyed with available resources. Each group of establishments of a certain size, however, was given its proper weight in the combination of data by industry and occupations. The term "office workers" referred to in this bulletin includes all office clerical employees and excludes administrative, executive, professional, and technical personnel. "Plant workers" includes working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Administra tive, executive, professional and technical employees, and forceaccount construction employees who are utilized as a separate work force, are excluded. Although cafeteria workers, routemen, and in stallation and repair employees arc excluded in manufacturing in dustries, these work categories are included as plant workers in nonmanufacturing industries. Shift-differential data are limited to manufacturing in dustries and have been presented both in terms of establishment policy and according to provisions for workers actually employed on extra shifts at the time of the survey. Establishments were considered as having a shift-differential policy if they met any of the following conditions: Operated late shifts at the time of the survey; operated late shifts within 6 months before the field visit; or had a union-contract provision for payment of extra-shift work. Proportions in the tabulation of establishment policy are presented 20 in terms of total plant employment, whereas proportions in the sec ond tabulation represent only those workers actually employed on the specified late shift. office workers of the table summarizing scheduled weekly hours. Because of eligibility requirements, the proportion actually re ceiving the specific benefits may be smaller* Information on wage practices other than shift differ entials refers to all office and plant workers as specified in the individual tables. It is presented in terms of the proportion of all workers employed in offices (or plant departments) that observe the practice in question, except in the section relating to women The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal ar rangements. It excludes informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the employer or other supervisor. Tabulations of insurance and pension plans have been confined to those for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer.
