Occupational Wage Survey—Newark and Jersey City, N.J.
Introduction

to the work schedules (rounded to the n earest half hour) fo r which
straight-tim e sa la ries are paid; average weekly earnings fo r these
occupations have been rounded to the n earest half d olla r.

This a rea is 1 o f 82 labor m arkets in which the U .S. D e­
partment o f L a b o r 's Bureau o f Labor Statistics has conducted su r­
veys o f occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an a re a ­
wide b a s is .
In this a rea , data were obtained by personal visits o f
B ureau field econ om ists to representative establishm ents within six
broad industry division s: Manufacturing; transportation, com m un ica­
tion, and other public u tilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance,
in su ran ce, and rea l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor industry groups
excluded fr o m these studies are government operations and the co n ­
stru ction and extra ctive industries.
Establishm ents having few er
than a p r e s c r ib e d num ber o f w ork ers are om itted also because they
tend to furnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to
w arrant in clu sion . Separate tabulations are provided fo r each o f the
b roa d industry d ivision s which m eet publication c r ite r ia .

A verage earnings o f men and wom en are presented separately
fo r se le cte d occupations in which both sexes are com m only em ployed.
D ifferen ces in pay lev els o f m en and wom en in these occupations are
la rg ely due to (l) d ifferen ces in the distribution o f the sexes among
industries and establishm ents; (2) *d ifferen ces in sp e cific duties p er­
form ed , although the occupations are appropriately cla ss ifie d within
the same survey jo b d escrip tion ; and (3) d ifferen ces in length of s e r v ­
ice o r m e rit review when individual sa la ries are adjusted on this
b a sis.
L onger average se rv ice o f men would resu lt in higher average
pay when both sexes are em ployed within the same rate range. Job
descrip tion s used in cla ssify in g em p loyees in these surveys are usu­
ally m ore gen eralized than those used in individual establishm ents to
allow fo r m inor d iffe ren ces among establishm ents in sp ecific duties
p erform ed .

T hese su rveys are conducted on a sample basis because o f the
u n n ecessary c o s t involved in surveying all establishm ents. To obtain
optim um a ccu ra cy at m inim um co s t, a greater proportion of large
than o f sm a ll establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data, how­
e v e r, all establishm ents are given their appropriate weight. E stim ates
based on the establishm ents studied are presented, th e re fo re , as r e ­
lating to all establishm ents in the industry grouping and area, e x ­
cep t fo r those below the minimum size studied.

Occupational em ploym ent estim ates rep resen t the total in ail
establishm ents within the scope o f the study and not the number actu­
ally su rveyed. B ecause o f d ifferen ces in occupational structure among
establishm ents, the estim ates o f occupational em ploym ent obtained
fro m the sam ple o f establishm ents studied serve only to indicate the
relative im portance o f the jobs studied.
These d ifferen ces in o ccu ­
pational structure do not m aterially affect the a ccu ra cy o f the earn ­
ings data.

O ccupations and Earnings
The occupations selected fo r study are com m on to a variety
o f manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational c la s ­
sifica tion is based on a uniform set of job description s designed to
take account o f in terestablishm ent variation in duties within the same
jo b .
(See appendix fo r listing o f these d e scrip tio n s.) Earnings data
are presented (in the A -s e r ie s tables) fo r the follow ing types o f o c c u ­
pations: (a) O ffice c le r ic a l; (b) p rofessional and technical; (c) m ainte­
nance and pow er plant; and (d) custodial and m aterial m ovem ent.

E stablishm ent P r a c tic e s and Supplementary Wage P rovision s
Inform ation is presented (in the B -s e r ie s tables) on selected
establishm ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary benefits as they relate to
office and plant w o rk e rs.
The con cep t "o ffice w o r k e r s ," as used
in this bulletin, includes working su p ervisors and nonsupervisory
w ork ers perform in g c le r ic a l o r related functions, and excludes admin­
istra tiv e, execu tive, and p rofession a l p erson nel. "Plant w ork ers" in ­
clude working forem en and all n on su p ervisory w ork ers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions.
A dm inistrative,
execu tive, and p rofession a l em p loyees, and fo rce -a cco u n t construction
em ployees who are u tilized as a separate w ork fo r c e are excluded.
C a feteria w ork ers and routem en are excluded in manufacturing indus­
tr ie s , but are included as plant w ork ers in nonmanufacturing industries.

O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r
fu ll-tim e w o rk e rs, i . e . , those h ired to work a regular weekly sch ed ­
ule in the given occupational cla ss ifica tio n . Earnings data exclude
prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on weekends, h olidays, and
late sh ifts.
N onproduction bonuses are excluded a lso , but c o s t - o f living bonuses and incentive earnings are included.
Where weekly

Shift differen tial data (table B - l ) are lim ited to manufacturing
in du stries. This inform ation is presented both in term s o f (a) esta b ­
lishm ent p o lic y ,1 presen ted in term s o f total plant w orker em p loy ­
ment, and (b) e ffectiv e p ra ctice , presented in term s o f w ork ers
actually em ployed on the sp e cifie d shift at the time o f the su rvey.
In establishm ents having va ried d ifferen tia ls, the amount applying to
a m ajority was used o r , if no amount applied to a m a jority , the c la s ­
sification ''o th e r" was u sed. In establishm ents in which som e la te shift hours are paid at norm al ra tes, a differential was reco rd e d only
if it applied to a m a jo rity o f the shift h ours.
Minimum entrance sa la ries (table B -2 ) relate only to the
establishm ents v isited .
They are presen ted in term s o f esta b lish ­
ments with form a l m inim um sa la ry p o lic ie s .
The scheduled hours (table B -3 ) o f a m a jority o f the f i r s t shift w ork ers in an establishm ent are tabulated as applying to a ll o f
the plant o r o ffic e w ork ers o f that establishm ent. P aid holidays; paid
vacations; and health, in su ran ce, and pension plans (tables B -4 through
B -6 ) are treated sta tistica lly on the b a sis that these are applicable
to all plant o r o ffice w ork ers i f a m a jority o f such w ork ers are e li­
gible o r m ay eventually qualify fo r the p ra ctice s listed . Sums o f
individual item s in tables B -3 through B -6 m ay not equal totals b e ­
cause o f rounding.
The fir s t part o f the paid holidays table (table B -4 ) presents
the num ber o f whole and half holidays actually provided. The second
part com bines whole and h alf holidays to show total holiday tim e .
The sum m ary o f vacation plans (table B -5 ) is lim ited to f o r ­
m al p o lic ie s , excluding in form al arrangem ents w hereby time o ff with
pay is granted at the d iscre tio n o f the e m p loyer. Separate estim ates
are provided accord in g to em p loyer p ra ctice in computing vacation
paym ents, such as tim e paym ents, p ercen t o f annual earnings, o r
fla t-su m amounts. H ow ever, in the tabulations o f vacation pay, pay­
ments not on a tim e b a sis w ere so con verted; fo r exam ple, a payment
o f 2 p ercen t o f annual earnings was con sid e re d as the equivalent o f
1 w eek 's pay.

Data are presented fo r all health, in su ran ce, and pension plans
(table B -6 ) fo r which at least a p art o f the co st is borne by the e m ­
p lo y e r, excepting only legal requirem ents such as w orkm en's com pen ­
sation, so cia l secu rity, and railroad retirem en t. Such plans include
those underwritten by a co m m ercia l insurance com pany and those p r o ­
vided through a union fund or paid d ire ctly by the em p loyer out o f
cu rren t operating funds o r from a fund set aside fo r this pu rpose.
Death benefits are included as a fo rm o f life insurance.
Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type o f in ­
surance under which predeterm ined cash payments are made d irectly
to the insured on a weekly o r monthly b asis during illn ess o r accident
d isability.
Information is presen ted fo r a ll such plans to which the
em p loyer contributes.
H owever, in New Y ork and New J ersey , which
have enacted tem porary d isability insurance laws which requ ire e m ­
p lo y e r con tribu tion s,2 plans are included only if the em p loyer (1) co n ­
tributes m o re than is lega lly required, o r (2) p rovid es the em ployee
with benefits which exceed the requirem ents o f the law. Tabulation?
o f paid sick -le a v e plans are lim ited to fo rm a l p la n s3 which p rovide
full pay o r a proportion o f the w o rk e r's pay during absence from w ork
becau se o f illn ess.
Separate tabulations are p resen ted accord in g to
(1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting p eriod , and (2) plans
which provide either partial pay o r a waiting p eriod . In addition to the
presentation of the proportions o f w ork ers who are provid ed sick n ess
and acciden t insurance o r paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is
shown o f w orkers who receiv e either o r both types o f ben efits.
Catastrophe insurance, som etim es re fe r r e d to as extended
m ed ica l insurance, includes those plans which a re designed to p rotect
em ployees in case o f sickness and injury involving expenses beyond
the norm al coverage o f hospitalization, m ed ica l, and su rg ica l plans.
M ed ical insurance re fe rs to plans providin g fo r com plete o r partial
payment o f doctors* fe e s. Such plans m ay be underw ritten by c o m m e r­
cia l insurance com panies o r nonprofit organizations o r they m ay be

2 The tem porary d isability laws in C alifornia and Rhode Island
do not require em ployer contributions.

Wag* Trends for Salactsd Occupational Groups

P resen ted in table 2 a re p ercen ts o f change in sa la rie s o f
o ffice c le r ic a l w ork ers and industrial n urses, and in average earnings
of selected plant w ork er groups.
F o r o ffic e c le r ic a l w ork ers and industrial n urses, the p e r ­
cents o f change relate to average w eekly sa la ries fo r n orm al hours
of work, that is, the standard w ork schedule fo r which straight-tim e
salaries a re paid.
F o r plant w ork er groups, they m ea su re changes
in straigh t-tim e hourly earnings, excluding prem ium pay fo r o v e r ­
time and fo r w ork on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
The p e r ­
centages a re based on data fo r selected key occupations and include
m ost o f the n um erically im portant jo b s within each group.
The o f­
fic e c le r ic a l data a re based on m en and wom en in the follow ing 19 jo b s :
Bookkeeping-m achine o p era tors, c la s s B ; cle rk s, accounting, c la s s A
and B; cle rk s, file , c la s s A , B, and C; cle rk s, o rd e r; c le r k s, p ay­
ro ll; Com ptom eter op era tors; keypunch op era tors, c la s s A and B;
office b oy s and g ir ls ; s e c r e ta r ie s ; stenographers, general; sten ogra­
ph ers, sen ior; sw itchboard op era tors; tabulating-m achine op era tors,
cla ss B; and typists, c la s s A and B.
The industrial nurse data a re
based on m en and wom en industrial n u rses.
Men in the follow ing
8 skilled maintenance jo b s and 2 unskilled jo b s w ere included in the
plant w ork er data: Skilled— ca rp en ters; e le ctricia n s; m a ch in ists; m e ­
chanics; m ech an ics, autom otive; pain ters; p ip efitters; and to o l and
die m ak ers; unskilled— ja n ito rs, p o r te r s , and cle a n e rs; and la b o re rs,
m aterial handling.
A verage weekly sa la rie s o r average hourly earnings w ere
computed fo r each o f the selected occupations.
The average sa l­




a r ie s o r hourly earnings w ere then m ultiplied b y the average em ploy­
m ent in the job during the p eriod su rveyed in 1961.
T hese weighted
earnings fo r individual occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an a g ­
gregate fo r each occupational group.
Finally, the ratio o f these group
aggregates fo r the one year to the aggregate fo r the other year was
computed and the d ifferen ce betw een the resu lt and 100 is the p ercen t
o f change from the one p eriod to the other.
The percen t o f change m ea su res, p rin cip ally, the effects Of
(1) gen eral salary and wage changes; (2) m e r it o r other in crea ses
in pay receiv ed by individual w ork ers while in the sam e job ; and
(3) changes in the labor fo r c e such as labor turnover, fo r c e expan­
sions, fo r c e reductions, and changes in the p rop ortion s o f w ork ers
em ployed by establishm ents with d ifferen t pay le v e ls .
Changes in the
labor fo r c e can cause in crea ses o r d e cre a s e s in the occupational
averages without actual wage changes. F or exam ple, a fo r c e expansion
m ight in crea se the proportion o f low er paid w ork ers in a s p e cific
occupation and resu lt in a drop in the average, w hereas a reduction
in the proportion o f low er paid w ork ers would have the opposite effect.
The m ovem ent of a high-paying establishm ent out o f an area could
cause the average earnings to drop, even though no change in rates
o ccu rre d in other area establishm ents.
The use o f constant em ploym ent w eights elim inates the effects
o f changes in the proportion o f w o rk ers rep resen ted in each jo b in­
cluded in the data.
Nor a re the p ercen ts o f change influenced by
changes in standard work schedules o r in prem ium pay fo r overtim e,
sin ce they are based on pay fo r straigh t-tim e h ours.

The above text rep resen ts the method used in computing a new trend
s e r ie s (table 2).
This se r ie s initiated with the esq>ansion o f the labor m arket
wage su rvey p rog ra m s to 82 a rea s w ill re p la ce the old s e r ie s (1953 base) shown
in table 3.
Changes in the jo b s surveyed and jo b d escription s since the start o f
the old s e r ie s called fo r a reexam ination o f the jo b s and job groupings fo r which
trends w ere to be com puted.

Appendix A: Changes in Occupational Descriptions

Since the Bureau’ s last survey in this area, occupational
descriptions for three office jobs were revised in order to obtain salary
information for more specific categories. Therefore, data presented
for these jobs in table A-l are not comparable to data presented in last
year’ s bulletin.

Revisions were made in the descriptions for file clerks, key­
punch operators, and stenographers. The revised description for file
clerk groups these workers into three levels (class A, B, and C) in­




25

stead of two (class A and B). The revised description for keypunch
operator groups these workers into two defined classes (A and B)
instead of a single category. Previously data were presented separately
for general stenographers and technical stenographers. The revision
combines general stenographers, with more responsible duties, and
technical stenographers to form a new senior stenographer category;
other general stenographers are maintained in that classification.
The revised occupational descriptions used this year are in­
cluded 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 is
essential in order to permit 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 in­
structed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time,
temporary, and probationary workers.

OFFICE

BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR

Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other
than an ordinary or electromatic typewriter. May also keep records as

ance sheets, and other records by hand.

Biller, machine (billing machine)— ses a special billing ma­

termined discounts and shipping charges and entry of necessary

chine, and totals which are automatically accumulated by machine.
The operation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of
the bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine.

Class B—
