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 hours are re p orted , as fo r office c le r ic a l occupations, re fe re n ce is I 2 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.

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. The new s e r ie a c o v e r s the sam e jo b groupings a s the e a rlie r se r ie s with the follow in g exceptions: The wom en c le r ic a l group is replaced by an o ffice c le r ic a l group (m en and women) and the industrial nurse category includes both m en and wom en.

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 BILLER, MACHINE BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other than an ordinary or electromatic typewriter. May also keep records as to billings or shipping charges or perform other clerical work incidental to billing operations. For wage study purposes, billers, machine, are classified by type of machine, as follows: Operates a bookkeeping machine (Remington Rand, Elliott Fisher, Sundstrand, Burroughs, National Cash Register, with or without a typewriter keyboard) to keep a record of business transactions. Class A—Keeps a set of records requiring a knowledge of and experience in basic bookkeeping principles and familiarity with the structure of the particular accounting system used. Determines proper records and distribution of debit and credit items to be used in each phase of the work. May prepare consolidated reports, bal ance sheets, and other records by hand. Biller, machine (billing machine)—U ses a special billing ma chine (Moon Hopkins, Elliott Fisher, Burroughs, etc., which are combination typing and adding machines) to prepare bills and in voices from customers’ purchase orders, internally prepared orders, shipping memorandums, etc. Usually involves application of prede termined discounts and shipping charges and entry of necessary extensions, which may or may not be computed on the billing ma 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—Keeps a record of one or more phases or sections of a set of records usually requiring little knowledge of basic book keeping. Phases or sections include accounts payable, payroll, customers’ accounts (not including a simple type of billing described under biller, machine), cost distribution, expense distribution, in ventory control, etc. May check or assist in preparation of trial balances and prepare control sheets for the accounting department. Biller, machine (bookkeeping machine)—U se s a bookkeeping machine (Sundstrand, Elliott Fisher, Remington Rand, etc., which may or may not have typewriter keyboard) to prepare customers’ bills as part of the accounts receivable operation. Generally in volves die simultaneous entry of figures on customers’ ledger rec ord. The machine automatically accumulates figures on a number of vertical columns and computes and usually prints automatically the debit or credit balances. Does not involve a knowledge of book keeping. Works from uniform and standard types of sales and credit slips. CLERK, ACCOUNTING Class A—Under general direction of a bookkeeper or account ant, has responsibility for keeping one or more sections of a com plete set of books or records relating to one phase of an establish ment’ s business transactions.

Class B —Under supervision, performs one or more routine ac counting operations such as posting simple journal vouchers or ac counts payable vouchers, entering vouchers in voucher registers; reconciling bank accounts; and posting subsidiary ledgers con trolled by general ledgers, or posting simple cost accounting data. This job does not require a knowledge of accounting and book keeping principles but is found in offices in which the more routine accounting work is subdivided on a functional basis among several workers.
