It yields detailed data by selected industry divisions for each of the areas studied, for economic regions, and for the United States. A major consideration in the program is the need for greater insight into (l) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level, and (2) the structure and level of wages among areas and industry divisions.

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 metropolitan areas studied into one bulletin. The second part presents information which has been projected from individual m et ropolitan area data to relate to economic regions and the United States. This bulletin presents results of the survey in Wichita, Kans. , in September 1964. It was prepared in the Bureau's regional office in Chicago, E L I . , by Edward Chaiken, under the direction of Kenneth Thorsten. The study was under the general direction of Woodrow C. Linn, Assistant Regional Director for Wages and Industrial Relations. 1 4 *N O T E : Similar tabulations are available for other areas. (See inside back co v er.) Union scales, indicative of prevailing pay levels in the Wichita area, are also available for seven selected building trades. iii 5 7 Occupational Wage Survey—Wichita, Kans. Introduction This area is 1 o f 82 in which the U. S. Department o f L a b or's Bureau o f Labor Statistics conducts surveys o f occu p a tional earnings and related wage benefits on an areawide b a sis. In this area, data w ere obtained by p erson al v isits o f Bureau field econ om ists to representative establishm ents within six broad industry d iv ision s: Manufacturing; transportation, com m unication, and other public u tilities; w holesale trad e; retail tra d e; finance, insurance, and real estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor industry groups excluded from these studies are governm ent operations and the con stru ction and extractive in du stries. E stablishm ents having few er than a p r e s c r ib e d number of w ork ers are om itted because they tend to furnish insufficient em ploy ment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion. Separate tabu lations are provided fo r each o f the broad industry division s which m eet publication c rite ria . reported, as fo r o ffice c le r ic a l occupations, referen ce is to the work schedules (rounded to the n earest half hour) fo r which straight-tim e sa la ries are paid; average weekly e a rn in g s 'fo r these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half d ollar. D ifferen ces in average pay levels fo r m en and women in any o f the selected occupations should not be assum ed to reflect d iffe r ences in pay treatm ent o f the sexes within individual establishm ents. The averages presented re fle ct com p osite, areawide estim ates. In d u stries and establishm ents d iffer in pay level, jo b staffing, and in the extent to which m en and women are em ployed and, thus, contribute differen tly to the estim ates. Other p ossib le fa ctors which may con tribute to d iffe re n ce s in pay include: D ifferen ces in p rog ression within established rate ranges, sin ce only the actual rates paid in cumbents are c o lle cte d ; and d ifferen ces in sp ecific duties p erform ed, although the w ork ers are appropriately cla ss ifie d within the same survey jo b d escrip tion . Job d escrip tion s used in classifyin 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 e s tablishm ents in the sp e cific duties p erform ed . These surveys are conducted on a sam ple b a sis because o f the unnecessary c o s t involved in surveying a ll establishm ents. To obtain optimum a ccu ra cy at minimum cost, a g rea ter prop ortion of large than o f sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data, however, all establishm ents are given their appropriate weight. E s timates 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. Occupational em ploym ent estim ates represen t the total in all establishm ents within the scop e of the study and not the number actually surveyed. B ecause of d ifferen ces in occupational structure among establishm ents, the estim ates o f occupational employm ent obtained from the sam ple of establishm ents studied serve only to indicate the relative im portance o f the jobs studied. These d ifferen ces in occupational structure do not m aterially affect the accu racy of the earnings data. Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected fo r study are com m on to a variety o f manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are o f the follow ing typ es: (1) O ffice c le r ic a l; (2) p ro fe ssio n a l and tech n ical; (3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m a teria l m o v e ment. Occupational cla ss ifica tio n is based on a uniform set o f job d escrip tion s designed to take account of in terestablishm 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 e scrib e d are not presented in the A -s e r ie s tables because either (1) em ploym ent in the occupation is too sm all to p rovide enough data to m e rit presentation, or (2) there is p o s s i bility of d isclosu re o f individual establishm ent data. Establishm ent P ra ctice 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 wage provisions as they relate to o ffice and plant w ork ers. A dm inistrative, executive, and p rofession a l em ployees, and fo rce -a cco u n t construction w orkers who are utilized as a separate work fo r c e are excluded. "O ffice w ork ers" include working su p erv isors and nonsupervisory w ork ers perform ing c le r ic a l o r related functions. "Plant w o rk e rs" include working fo r e men and a ll nonsupervisory w ork ers (including leadm en and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. C afeteria w ork ers and routem en are excluded in m anufacturing industries, but included in nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r fu ll-tim e w ork ers, i.e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule in the given occupational cla ss ifica tio n . Earnings data exclude p r e mium pay fo r overtim e and fo r work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t-o f-liv in g bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are Minimum entrance salaries (table B - l ) relate only to the e s tablishm ents visited . They are presented in term s o f establishm ents with form a l m inimum entrance salary p o licie s . 1 2 Shift d ifferen tia l data (table B -2) are lim ited to plant w ork ers in manufacturing industries. This inform ation is presented both in term s of (1) establishm ent p olicy, 1 presented in term s o f total plant w ork er em ploym ent, and (2) effective p ra ctice , presented in term s of w ork ers actually em ployed on the sp ecified shift at the tim e o f the survey. In establishm ents having va ried differen tials, the amount applying to a m a jority was used or, if no amount applied to a m a jority, the cla ssifica tion "o th e r '1 was used. In establishm ents in which som e la te-sh ift hours are paid at norm al rates, a d ifferen tial was re cord ed only if it applied to a m a jority o f the shift hours. The scheduled weekly hours (table B -3) o f a m a jority o f the fir s t-s h ift w ork ers in an establishm ent are tabulated as applying to all of the plant or o ffice w ork ers of that establishm ent. Paid holidays; paid vacations; health, insurance, and pension plans; and p rofit-sh a rin g plans (tables B -4 through B -8) are treated statistically on the b asis that these are applicable to all plant o r o ffic e w ork ers if a m a jority o f such w ork ers are eligible o r may eventually qualify fo r the p r a c tices listed. Sums of individual item s in tables B -2 through B -8 may not equal totals because of rounding. Data on paid holidays (table B -4 ) are lim ited to data on holidays granted annually on a fo rm a l b a s is; i. e . , (l) are provided fo r in written form , o r (2) have been established by custom . Holidays ord in arily granted a re included even though they may fa ll on a non workday, even if the w orker is not granted another day off. The fir s t part o f the paid holidays table presen ts the number o f whole and half holidays actually granted. The second part com bines whole and half holidays to show total holiday tim e . The sum m ary o f vacation plans (table B -5) is lim ited to form a l p o lic ie s , excluding in form al arrangem ents w hereby tim e off with pay is granted at the d iscre tio n o f the em p loyer. Separate estim ates are provided accord in g to em ployer p ra ctice in computing vacation payments, such as tim e payments, p ercen t o f annual earnings, or flat-su m amounts. H owever, in the tabulations o f vacation pay, payments not on a tim e b asis w ere converted to a tim e b a sis; fo r example, a payment of 2 percen t o f annual earnings was con sid ered as the equivalent of 1 w eek 's pay. com pany and those provided through a union fund o r paid d irectly by the em ployer out o f current operating funds or from a fund set aside fo r this pu rpose. Death benefits are included as a form o f life insurance. Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of insurance under which predeterm ined cash payments are made d irectly to the insured on a weekly o r monthly basis during illn ess o r accident d isability. Inform ation is presented fo r all such plans to which the em p loyer contributes. However, in New Y ork and New J ersey, which have enacted tem porary disability insurance laws which requ ire em p loy er contributions, 2 plans are included only if the em ployer (1) con tributes m o re than is legally required, or (2) provid es the em ployee with benefits which exceed the requirem ents of the law. Tabulations o f paid sick leave plans are lim ited to form al p la n s3 which provide full pay or a prop ortion o f the w o rk e r's pay during absence from work becau se o f illn e ss. Separate tabulations are presented accord in g to (1) plans which provid e full pay and no waiting period , and (2) plans which provide either partial pay o r a waiting p eriod. In addition to the presentation o f the proportion s of w ork ers who are provided sick n ess and accident insurance o r paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of w ork ers who receiv e either o r both types of benefits. Catastrophe insurance, som etim es re fe rre d to as extended m ed ical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to p rotect em ployees in ca se of sick n ess and injury involving expenses beyond the norm al cov era g e o f hospitalization, m ed ical, and su rgical plans. M edical insurance re fe r s to plans providing fo r com plete or partial payment o f d o c to r s' fe e s . Such plans may be underwritten by c o m m e r c ia l insurance com panies or nonprofit organizations or they may be se lf-in su re d . Tabulations of retirem en t pension-plans are lim ited to those plans that provide monthly payments fo r the rem ainder of the w o rk e r's life . Data are presented fo r all health, insurance, and pension plans (tables B -6 and B -7) fo r which at lea st a part o f the co st is borne by the em ployer, excepting only legal' requirem ents such as w orkm en's com pensation, s o cia l secu rity, and ra ilroa d retirem ent. Such plans include those underwritten by a co m m e rcia l insurance P ro fit-sh a rin g plans (table B -8) are lim ited to form a l plans with definite form ulas fo r computing p rofit shares to be distributed among em ployees and whose form ulas w ere com m unicated to em ployees in advance of the determ ination of p rofits. Data are presented accord in g to p rov ision s fo r distributing p rofit shares to em ployees: (1) C urrent o r cash distribution o f p rofit shares within a short period after determ ination of p ro fits; (2) d eferred distribution of p rofit shares after a sp ecified num ber o f yea rs o r at retirem en t; (3) com bination cu rren t and d e fe rre d plans; and (4) electiv e distribution plans, under which each participant is required to se le ct whether to take his share o f the cu rren t y e a r 's p rofit in cash, have it d eferred , or part in cash and part d efe rre d . An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either o f the following conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the time o f the survey, or (2) had formal provisions covering late shifts. An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1) had operated late shifts during the 12 months prior to the survey, or (2) had provisions in written form for operating late shifts. 2 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer contributions. 3 An establishment was considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the minimum number o f days o f sick leave available to each em ployee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, were excluded. 3 T able 1.

F or o ffic e c le r ic a l w o rk e rs and industrial n u rs e s, the p e r centages of change relate to average w eekly sa la ries fo r n orm al hours o f w ork , that is , the standard w ork schedule fo r which straigh t-tim e sa la ries are paid. F or plant w ork er g rou p s, they m easu re changes in average straight-tim e hourly ea rn in gs, excluding prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, h olidays, and late shifts. The percen tages 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 wom 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; C om 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 og ra p h ers, sen ior; sw itchboard op e ra to rs; tabulating-m achine o p e ra to rs, cla ss B; and ty p ists, 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 a re included in the plant w ork er data: S k illed— ca rp en ters; e le ctricia n s; m ach in ists; m e chanics; m ech a n ics, autom otive; painters; pip 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 r e r s , m aterial handling. A verage w eekly sa la ries o r 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 in ally, the ratio (exp ressed as a percentage) o f the group aggregate fo r the one year to the aggregate fo r 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 p eriod to the other. The indexes w ere com puted by multiplying the ratios for each group aggregate fo r each p eriod after the base year (1961). The indexes and percen tages o f change m ea su re, p rin cip ally, the e ffects 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 sam e job ; and (3) changes in average w ages due to changes in the labor fo r c e resulting fro m labor tu rn over, fo r c e expansions, fo r c e red u ction s, 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 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 prop ortion o f low er paid w o rk ers in a sp e cific occupation and low er the a v era g e, w hereas a reduction in the prop ortion o f low er paid w o rk e rs would have the opposite effect. S im ila rly, the m ovem ent of a high-paying establishm ent out o f an area could cause' the average earnings to d rop , 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 jo b in cluded in the data.

Periods of service were arbitrarily chosen and do not n ecessarily reflect the individual provisions for progressions. For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 10 years' service include changes in provisions occurring between 5 and 10 years. Estim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion receiving 3 weeks' pay or m ore after 5 years includes those who receive 3 weeks' pay or m ore after fewer years of service. 17 T a b le B -6.

"Graduated plans" are defined as those form al plans under which an em ployee's leave varies according to length of service. Periods of service were arbitrarily chosen. Estim ates reflect provisions applicable at the stated length of service but do not reflect provisions for progression. Thus, the proportion receiving 15 days' sick leave after 10 years of service may also receive this amount after greater or le s s e r lengths of service. 6 May include provisions other than those presented separately.

A p p e n d ix A . C h a n g e s in O c c u p a tio n a l D e s c rip tio n s 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. 21 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. A p p e n d ix B . O c c u p a tio n a l D e s c rip tio n s 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.
