It yields detailed data by selected industry divisions for metropolitan area labor markets, for econom ic regions, and for the United States. A m ajor consideration in the program is the need for greater insight into (l) the m ove ment of wages by occupational category and skill level, and (2) the structure and level of wages among labor markets and industry divisions.

Information on occupational earnings is collected annually in each area. Information on establish ment practices and supplementary wage provisions is ob tained biennially in most of the areas. This bulletin presents results of the survey in Seattle, W ash., in September 1964. It was prepared in the Bureau's regional office in San F ran cisco, C a lif., by Richard P. Wilson, under the direction of William P. O'Connor. The study was under the general direction of John L. Dana, Assistant Regional D irector for Wages and Industrial Relations. 1 3 * NOTE: Similar tabulations are available for other areas. (See inside back co v e r.) Union scales, indicative of prevailing pay levels in the Seattle area, are also available for building construc tion, printing, local-transit operating employees, and m otortruck drivers and helpers. iii 2 2 4 6 h - 00 O At the end of each survey, an individual area bulletin presents survey results for each labor market studied. After completion of all of the individual area bulletins for a round of surveys, a two-part summary bulletin is issued. The first part brings data for each of the labor markets studied into one bulletin. The second part presents information which has been projected from individual labor market data to relate to econom ic regions and the United States. Introduction____________________________________________________________ Wage trends for selected occupational groups--------------------------------------- 11 13 Occupational Wage Survey—Seattle, Wash. Introduction This area is 1 of 82 labor markets in which the U.S. De partment of L abor's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areawide basis. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-tim e w orkers, i.e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude p re mium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-liv in g bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office cle rica l 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. This bulletin presents current occupational employment and earnings information obtained largely by mail from the establishments visited by Bureau field econom ists in the last previous survey for occupations reported in that earlier study. Personal visits were made to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes since the previous survey. In each area, data are obtained from representative estab lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; trans portation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government opera tions and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria. Differences in average pay levels for men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay treatment of the sexes within individual establishments. The averages presented reflect com posite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level, job staffing, and in the extent to which men and women are employed and, thus, contribute differently to the estim ates. Other possible factors which may contribute to differences in pay include: Differences in progression within estab lished rate ranges, since only the actual rates paid incumbents are collected; and differences in specific duties perform ed, although the workers are appropriately classified within the same survey job de scription. Job descriptions used in classifying employees in these surveys are usually m ore generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in the specific duties perform ed. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishments. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of small establishments is studied. In combining the data, however, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s timates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area, except for those below the minimum size studied. Occupational employment estimates represent the total in aL establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually 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 d iffer ences in occupational structure do not m aterially affect the accuracy of the earnings data. Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1) Office clerica l; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material m ove ment. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. The occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described are not presented in the A -se rie s tables because either (1) employment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is p o ssi bility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Establishment P ractices and Supplementary Wage Provisions Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supple mentary wage provisions (B -se rie s tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Information for these tabulations is collected biennially in this area. These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced women office w orkers; shift differentials; scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans; are presented (in the B -s e rie s tables) in previous bulletins for this area. 1 2 Table 1.

August 1959 to August I960 3 Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups Presented in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change in average salaries of office clerica l w orkers and industrial nurses, and in average earnings of selected plant worker groups. For office clerica l w orkers and industrial nurses, the p e r centages of change relate to average weekly salaries for normal hours of work, that is , the standard work schedule for which straight-time salaries are paid. For plant worker groups, they measure changes in average straight-time hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The percentages are based on data for selected key occupations and in clude most of the numerically important jobs within each group. The office cle rica l data are based on men and women in the following 19 jobs: Bookkeeping-machine operators, class B; clerk s, accounting, class A and B; clerk s, file, class A, B, and C; clerk s, order; clerk s, payroll; Comptometer operators; keypunch operators, class A and B; office boys and girls; secretaries; stenographers, general; stenogra phers, senior; switchboard operators; tabulating-machine operators, class B; and typists, class A and B. The industrial nurse data are based on men and women industrial nurses. Men in the following 8 skilled maintenance jobs and 2 unskilled jobs are included in the plant worker data: Skilled— carpenters; electricians; machinists; m e chanics; m echanics, automotive; painters; pipefitters; and tool and die makers; unskilled—janitors, p orters, and cleaners; and laborers, m aterial handling. Average weekly salaries or average hourly earnings were computed for each of the selected occupations. The average salaries or hourly earnings were then multiplied by employment in each of the jobs during the period surveyed in 1961. These weighted earnings for individual occupations were then totaled to obtain an aggregate for each occupational group. Finally, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the group aggregate for the one year to the aggregate for the other year was computed and the difference between the result and 100 is the percentage of change from the one period to the other. The indexes were computed by multiplying the ratios for each group aggregate for each period after the base year (1961). The indexes and percentages of change m easure, principally, the effects of (1) general salary and wage changes; (2) m erit or other increases in pay received by individual w orkers while in the same job; and (3) changes in average wages due to changes in the labor force resulting from labor turnover, force expansions, force reductions, and changes in the proportions of w orkers employed by establishments with different pay levels. Changes in the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. For example, a force expansion might increase the proportion of lower paid workers in a specific occupation and lower the average, whereas a reduction in the proportion of lower paid workers would have the opposite effect. Sim ilarly, the movement of a high-paying establishment out of an area could cause the average earnings to drop, even though no change in rates occurred in other establishments in the area. The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effect of changes in the proportion of w orkers represented in each job in cluded in the data. The percentages of change reflect only changes in average pay for straight-time hours. They are not influenced by changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by premium pay for overtime. A.

Changes in Occupational Descriptions 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. 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. The revised occupational descriptions are included in appendix B. 11 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 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 instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
