The Bureau o f Labor Statistics p rogram of annual
occupational wage surveys in m etropolitan areas is d e
signed to provide data on occupational earnings, and esta b
lishment p ra ctice s and supplementary wage p rov ision s. It
yields detailed data by selected industry division s fo r each
of the areas studied, fo r econ om ic region s, and fo r the
United States. A m ajor con sideration in the program is
the need for grea ter insight into (1) the m ovem ent o f wages
by occupational ca tegory and skill le v e l, and (2) the str u c
ture and level of wages among areas and industry d ivision s.
At the end o f each survey, an individual area b u l
letin presents survey results fo r each area studied. A fter
com pletion of all of the individual area bulletins fo r a round
o f su rveys, a tw o-part sum m ary bulletin is issued. The
fir s t part brings data fo r each o f the m etropolitan areas
studied into one bulletin. The second part presents in fo r
mation which has been p rojected fro m individual m e tro p o l
itan area data to relate to econ om ic regions and the United
States.
Eighty-two areas cu rren tly are included in the
program .
Information on occupational earnings is c o l
lected annually in each area. Inform ation on establishm ent
p ra ctices and supplementary wage p rovision s is obtained
biennially in m ost o f the area s.

Occupational Wage Survey—Richmond, Va.
Introduction
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 w ork a regular w eekly schedule
in the given occupational cla ssifica tion . Earnings data exclude p r e
mium pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on weekends, holidays, and late
shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but co s t-o f-liv in g bonuses
and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reported,
as fo r o ffice c le r ic a l occupations, re feren ce is to the w ork schedules
(rounded to the n earest half hour) fo r which straight-tim e salaries
are paid; average w eekly earnings fo r these occupations have been
rounded to the n earest half d ollar.
This area is 1 of 82 in which the U .S . Department of
L abor's Bureau o f Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occu p a
tional earnings and related wage benefits on an areawide b a sis.
This bulletin presen ts current occupational em ploym ent and
earnings inform ation obtained la rg ely by m ail fro m the establishm ents
visited by Bureau field econ om ists in the last previou s survey fo r
occupations rep orted in that e a r lie r study. P e rso n a l visits w ere made
to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes
since the previou s survey.
D ifferen ces in average pay levels fo r men and wom en in any
of the selected occupations should not be assum ed to reflect d ifferen ces
in pay treatm ent of the sexes within individual establishm ents. The
averages presen ted re fle ct com p osite, areawide estim ates. Industries
and establishm ents d iffer in pay lev el, job staffing, and in the extent
to which men and wom en are em ployed and, thus, contribute differently
to the estim ates. Other p ossib le fa ctors which may contribute to
d ifferen ces in pay include: D ifferen ces in p rog ression within estab
lished rate ranges, since only the actual rates paid incumbents are
colle cte d ; and d ifferen ces in sp e cific duties p erform ed , although the
w ork ers are appropriately cla ss ifie d within the same survey job d e
scription. Job d escrip tion s used in cla ssifyin g em ployees in these
surveys are usually m ore gen eralized than those used in individual
establishm ents and allow fo r m inor d ifferen ces among establishm ents
in the sp e cific duties p erform ed .
In each area, data are obtained fro m representative estab
lishments within six broad industry d iv ision s: M anufacturing; tra n s
portation, com m unication, and other public u tilities; w holesale trade;
retail trade; finance, insurance, and rea l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor
industry groups excluded fro m these studies are governm ent o p e ra
tions and the construction and extractive industries. Establishm ents
having few er than a p re s c r ib e d number of w ork ers are om itted because
they tend to furnish insufficient em ploym ent in the occupations studied
to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided fo r each of the
broad industry divisions which m eet publication crite ria .
These surveys are conducted on a sam ple b a sis because of
the u nn ecessary cost involved in surveying all establishm ents. To
obtain optimum a ccu ra cy at minimum co st, a grea ter p roportion of
large than of sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data,
h ow ever, all establishm ents are given their appropriate weight. E s
tim ates based on the establishm ents studied are presented, th erefore,
as relating to all establishm ents in the industry grouping and area,
except fo r those below the minimum size studied.
O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates represen t the total in
all establishm ents within the scope of the study and not the number
actually surveyed. B ecause of d ifferen ces in occupational structure
among establishm ents, the estim ates of occupational employm ent
obtained fr o m the sample of establishm ents studied serve only to
indicate the relative im portance of the jo b s studied. These d iffe r
ences in occupational structure do not m aterially affect the a ccu racy
of the earnings data.
Occupations and Earnings
The occupations selected fo r study are com m on to a variety
of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing in du stries, and are of the
follow ing types: (1) O ffice c le r ic a l; (2) p rofession a l and technical;
(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m aterial m o v e
ment. Occupational cla ss ifica tio n is based on a uniform set of job
d escrip tion s designed to take account of interestablishm ent variation
in duties within the same job. The occupations selected fo r study
are listed and d e scrib e d in appendix B.
Earnings data fo r som e of
the occupations listed and d escrib ed are not presented in the A -s e r ie s
tables becau se either (1) employm ent in the occupation is too sm all
to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is p o s s i
bility of d isclosu re of individual establishm ent data.
Establishm ent P r a c tic e s and Supplementary Wage P rov ision s
Tabulations on selected establishm ent p ra ctices and supple
m entary wage p rov ision s (B -s e r ie s tables) are not presented in this
bulletin. Inform ation fo r these tabulations is collected biennially in
this area. These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for
inexperienced women o ffice w ork ers; shift d ifferen tials; scheduled
weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance,
and pension plans; are presented (in the B -s e r ie s tables) in previous
bulletins fo r this area.

W a g e Trends fo r Selected O ccu p ation al G roups
P resen ted in table 2 are indexes and p ercen tages o f change
in average sa la ries o f o ffice c le r ic a l w o rk e rs and industrial n u rses,
and in average earnings o f selected plant w ork er groups.
F or o ffic e c le r ic a l w o rk e rs and industrial n u rse s, the p e r
centages of change relate to average w eekly sa la rie s fo r n orm al hours
o f w ork , that is , the standard w ork schedule fo r which straight-tim e
salaries are paid. F or plant w ork er grou p s, they m easu re changes
in average straight-tim e hourly earn in gs, excluding prem ium pay for
overtim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, h olidays, and late shifts. The
percentages are based on data fo r selected key occupations and in
clude m ost o f the n um erically im portant jo b s within each group.
The o ffice c le r ic a l data are based on m en and w om en in the follow ing
19 job s: B ookkeeping-m achine o p e ra to rs , cla ss B; c le r k s , accounting,
cla ss A and B; c le r k s , file , c la s s A , B , and C; c le r k s , o rd e r; c le r k s ,
p ayroll; Com ptom eter o p era tors; keypunch o p e ra to rs, c la s s A and B;
o ffice boys and g ir ls ; s e c r e ta r ie s ; sten ograph ers, gen eral; sten ogra
p h ers, sen ior; sw itchboard o p era tors; tabulating-m achine o p e ra to rs,
cla ss B; and typ ists, c la ss A and B. The industrial nurse data are
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 a re included in the
plant w ork er data: Skilled— ca rp en ters; e le ctricia n s; m ach in ists; m e
chanics; m ech a n ics, autom otive; painters; p ip efitters; and tool 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 r e r s ,
m aterial handling.
A verage w eekly sa la ries or average hourly earnings w ere
computed for each o f the selected occu pation s. The average sa la ries
or hourly earnings w ere then m ultiplied by em ploym ent in each of
the job s during the p eriod surveyed in 1961. T hese weighted earnings
fo r individual occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an aggregate for
each occupational group. F inally, the ratio (exp ressed as a percentage)
o f the group aggregate fo r the one year to the aggregate for the other
year was com puted and the d ifferen ce between the resu lt and 100 is
the percentage o f change from the one period to the other. The
indexes w ere com puted by multiplying the ratios for each group
aggregate fo r each period after the base year (1961).
The indexes and percen tages o f change m easu re, prin cip ally,
the effects o f (1) gen eral salary and wage changes; (2) m erit or other
in cre a se s in pay re ce iv e d by individual w ork ers while in the same
job; and (3) changes in average w ages due to changes in the labor fo rce
resulting fro m labor tu rn over, fo r c e expansions, fo r c e redu ction s,
and changes in the proportion s o f w ork ers em ployed by establishm ents
with differen t pay le v e ls.
Changes in the labor fo rce can cause
in cre a se s or d e cre a se s in the occupational averages without actual
wage changes.
F or exam ple, a fo r c e expansion might in crease the
p roportion o f low er paid w ork ers in a sp e cific occupation and low er
the a vera ge, w hereas a reduction in the p roportion of low er paid
w ork ers would have the opposite effect. S im ilarly , the m ovem ent of
a high-paying establishm ent out o f an area could cause the average
earnings to d ro p , even though no change in rates o ccu rre d in other
establishm ents in the area.
The use of constant em ploym ent weights elim inates the effect
of changes in the prop ortion of w ork ers represen ted in each job in
cluded in the data. The percen tages of change re fle ct only changes in
average pay fo r straight-tim e hours. They are not influenced by
changes in standard w ork schedules, as such, or by prem ium pay
fo r overtim e.

and late shifts.
Appendix A. Changes in Occupational Descriptions
Since the Bureau's last survey, occupational descriptions for
draftsman and switchboard operator were revised in order to obtain salary
information for more specific categories.
Switchboard operator. The revised description for switchboard
operator arranges these workers into two defined classes (A and B) instead
of a single category, clarifying the criteria of types of calls handled and
types of information provided. The combination of class A and class B
data, where both are published, is comparable to the single designation,
if previously published.
13
Draftsman. The revised descriptions for draftsman (class A, B,
and C; and draftsman-tracer) replace the previous designations for drafts
man (leader, senior, and junior; and tracer) and emphasize the distinction
between drafting and design skills. Therefore, if data are presented for
any of these occupations, such data are not comparable to data previously
published. In areas where current employment and earnings information
was collected largely by mail this year and will be collected by a personal
visit by Bureau field economists next year, data for these occupations will
be presented next year.
The revised occupational descriptions are included 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 permits
the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
