The studies provide data on occupational earnings and related supplementary benefits. A preliminary report furnishing trend data and average earnings is released within a month of the completion of each study. This bulletin provides additional data not included in the preliminary report. Two bulletins, bringing together the results of all of the area surveys, are issued after completion of the final area bulletin in the current round of surveys. The first of these bulletins will be available late in 1962 and the other early in 1963. During the survey year, summary releases presenting areawide occupational earnings data for 25 to 30 labor markets, are issued as data become available. This bulletin was prepared in the Bureau’ s regional office in Chicago, 111., by Mary Stokes, under the direction of Elliott A. Browar. The study was under the general direction of Woodrow C. Linn, Assistant Re gional Director for Wages and Industrial Relations.

The February 1957 report was limited to occupational earnings of plant workers in manufacturing and public utilities industries. (Data were collected only for plant workers in manufacturing and public utilities indus tries in February 1957.) Most of the reports present data on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions. Similar reports are available for other major areas. A directory indi cating the areas, dates of study, and prices of these reports is available upon request. Current reports on occupational earnings and supplementary wage prac tices in the St. Louis area are also available for contract cleaning services (July 1961), machinery industries (April 1961), paints and varnishes (May 1961), and women's and m isses' dresses (August 1961). Union scales, indicative of prevail ing pay levels, are available for the following trades or industries: Building construction, printing, local-transit operating employees, and motortruck drivers and helpers. iii 15 17 Occupational Wage Survey— St. Louis, Mo.—111.

The revised description for keypunch operator groups these workers into two defined c la sse s (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 . 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 sp ecific categories. Therefore, data presented for these jobs in table A -l are not comparable to data presented in last year’s bulletin. R evisions 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 The revised occupational descriptions used this year are in cluded in appendix B. 15 Appendix B: Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to a s sis t its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishm ent to establishm ent and from area to area. This is essen tial 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 establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field econom ists are in structed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
