The studies, made from late fall to early spring, relate to occupational earnings and related supplementary benefits. A preliminary 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 earlier report. A consolidated analytical bulletin summarizing the results of all of the year*s surveys is issued after completion of the final'^Lrea bulletin for the current round of surveys. This report was prepared in the Bureau*s regional office in San Francisco, C a lif., by William P. 0*Connor, under the direction of John L. Dana, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst.

Most of the reports include data on shift differential provi sions; minimum entrance rates for women office workers; scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans. The 1953 report (BLS Bull. 1157-1) also provides a tabulation of the rate of pay for holiday work; the 1955 report, data on pay provisions for holidays falling on nonworkdays, and frequency of wage payment. Both the 1953 and 1958 reports provide data on overtime pay practices, wage structure characteristics, and labor-management agreements. A directory indicating date of study and the price of the reports, as well as reports for other major areas, is available upon request. Current reports on occupational earnings and sup plementary wage practices in the Portland area are also available for auto dealer repair shops (May 1958), and bank ing (June 1958). A report on occupational earnings is also available for the machinery industries (December 1958). Data for supplementary wage practices were included in the ma chinery industries report of December 1957. Union scales, indicative of prevailing pay levels, are available for the fol lowing trades or industries: Building construction, printing, local-transit operating employees, and motortruck drivers and helpers. 1 2 1 2 3 5 6 7 9 Introduction This area is one of several important industrial centers in which the U. S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an area basis. based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as re lating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area, ex cept for those below the minimum size studied. The bulletin presents current occupational employment and earnings information obtained largely by mail from the establishments visited by Bureau field agents in the last previous survey for occu pations reported in that earlier study. Personal visits were made to nonrespondents and to those respondents reDorting unusual changes since the previous survey. The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational clas sification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. (See appendix for listing of these descriptions.) Earnings data are presented (in the A -series tables) for the following types of oc cupations: (a) Office clerical; (b) professional and technical; (c) main tenance and power plant; and (d) custodial and material movement. In each area, data are obtained from representative establish ments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transpor tation (excluding railroads), communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major industry groups excluded from these studies, besides railroads, are government operations and the construction and ex tractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted also because they furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion.1 Wher ever possible, separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishments. To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of small establishments is studied. In combining the data, how ever, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. Estimates 1 See table below for minimum-size establishment covered. Table 1. Occupations and Earnings Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time workers, i. e. , those hired to work a regular weekly sched ule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded also, but cost-ofliving 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-time salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar. Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actu ally surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure among establishments, the estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occu pational structure do not materially affect the accuracy of the earn ings data.

The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate 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 em ployment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (l) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the pay period studied and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey. * The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division. Major changes from the earlier edition used in previous surveys are the transfer of milk pasteurization plants and ready mixed concrete establishments from trade (wholesale or retail) to manufacturing, and the transfer of radio and television broadcasting from services to the transportation, communication, and other public utilities division. 3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum-size limitation (51 employees). A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion-picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. 4 Also excludes taxicabs, and services incidental to water transportation. s 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. 4 Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations; and engineering and architectural services. 2 Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups o c c u p a tio n s w e r e then to ta le d to ob ta in tio n a l g r o u p .
