The Bureau of Labor Statistics annually conducts
areawide surveys in 80 Standard Metropolitan Statistical
A re a s. These studies provide data on occupational earn­
ings and related supplementary benefits. A bulletin is pub­
lished for each area, providing data as follows:
For each occupation— employment and the
mean, median, middle range of earnings, and
distributions of workers by earnings intervals,
areawide and by selected industry group.
For each related ’'fringe1 benefit and supple­
'
mentary wage practice studied— selective d istri­
butions of frequency of the practice and service
requirements (where pertinent), by areawide and
industry-group proportions of office and plant
workers to whom t h e benefit or practice is
applicable.
A scope table— showing the number of estab­
lishments within scope of the survey, the number
studied, and corresponding employment, in the
area and industry groups, as defined.
An earlier consolidated bulletin summ arized the
results of the individual area bulletins for the surveys
made during the period July 1964 to June 1965. A list of
the bulletins for the areas surveyed appears on the last
page of this bulletin.
The present bulletin contains information on o c ­
cupational earnings, employer practices, and supplemen­
tary wage benefits for all metropolitan areas combined
and by industry division within regions. A lso provided are
analyses of wage trends, wage dispersions, and interarea
pay comparisons.

Wages and Related Benefits—

Metropolitan Areas, United States and Regional Summaries, 1964-65
Introduction
Surveys of occupational earnings and related practices in
80 metropolitan areas were conducted by the Bureau of Labor Sta­
tistics between July 1964 and June 1965. 1 These studies were part of
2
a program designed to provide detailed data for each of the individual
a re as* and to permit projection of these data to all 212 Standard
Metropolitan Statistical A reas in the United S ta te s.3

By region, 77 of the areas were located in the South, 59 in the North
Central region, 47 in the Northeast, and 29 in the W est. Even though
over a third of the areas were located in the South, less than a fourth
of the population was in these areas.
The Northeast, on the other
hand, with less than a fourth of the areas, accounted for about a
third of the population. In the South, the average area population
was less than half of the average in the Northeast.

This current publication is the second of two summary bul­
letins.
The first summ ary, Wages and Related Benefits, Part I.
80 Metropolitan A rea s, 1964—
65 (BLS Bulletin 1430-83, 1965), in c o rporated data for each of the 80 areas surveyed. This second summary
offers data for all metropolitan areas combined, nationally; for four
broad regions; and for six major industry divisions. Data are p re ­
sented on occupational earnings, interarea differences in wages, wage
trends, wage dispersions, work schedules, supplementary wage bene­
fits, and labor-management agreement coverage.

Regional data are greatly influenced by the larger m etro ­
politan areas. In the W est, Los Angeles and San Francisco account
for alm ost half of the population. New York, Philadelphia, and Boston
account for half of the population in the Northeast, and Chicago and
Detroit for alm ost a third of the North Central population. In the
South, however, the five largest areas 'combined account for only a
fourth of the population.

Estim ates of earnings, employer practices, and supplemen­
tary benefits in urban employment are composites representing 66, 300
establishments employing over 18.1 million workers within scope of
the survey.
The average size of establishment within scope of the
study ranged from 209 employees in the South to 318 in the North
Central region. By industry group, the average size of establishment
ranged from 116 employees in wholesale trade to 410 in public
utilities.

Occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries were studied on a communitywide basis in
the selected areas.
Earnings data are provided for the following
types of occupations: (a) Office clerical; (b) professional and tech­
nical; (c) maintenance and power plant; and (d) custodial and m aterial
movement. Data were also collected and summ arized on shift opera­
tions and differentials, paid vacations, paid holidays, and health,
insurance, and pension plans.

Differences in pay levels among geographic areas reflect the
influence of a variety of factors, including variation in industrial co m ­
position. More than half of all workers within the scope of the survey
were employed in manufacturing establishments (by region, the p ro­
portion varied from about three-fifths of the workers in the Northeast
and North Central regions to slightly less than half in the South and
W est). Furtherm ore, within manufacturing, the concentration of co m ­
paratively high-wage industries (such as rubber, steel, transportation
equipment, m etal products, chem icals, and petroleum refining) ch a r­
acterizes the North Central and West.

Characteristics of the 212 A reas

The 212 metropolitan areas had a combined population of
nearly 113 m illion in I960, or over three-fifths of the Nation1s total.

The program also covered two nonmetropolitan areas (Boise City, Idaho, and Burlington, V t .).
Data for these two areas are not included in this bulletin.
2See last page for listing of area bulletins.
3As established by the Bureau of the Budget through 1961. For a detailed description of the
scope and method of survey, see appendix A.




Among nonmanufacturing industries, retail trade accounted
for a larger proportion of workers in.the South than in other regions.

Conclusions regarding the relative ranking of industry groups are based on a com posite of

their publication, they are sufficiently accurate to distinguish the high from the low ranking industries.
It must be remem bered that these industry averages relate only to m etropolitan areas in

Labor-Management Agreement Coverage

Only 15 percent of the 3.4 million office workers within scope
of the survey were in establishments with labor-management agree­
ment coverage, whereas 69 percent of the 11.3 m illion plant workers
were in establishments with comparable coverage. These estimates of
agreement coverage are representative only of medium and large
establishments in the industries within scope of the survey in m etro ­
politan areas. 37 The following table presents estimates of agreement
coverage for plant and office w orkers, for all metropolitan areas
combined, and by industry division and region:

If a m ajority of plant or office workers within an establish­
ment were covered by a labor-management agreement, all plant or
office workers in that establishment were considered to be covered.
Thus, these data do not provide a measure of union membership, but
rather a statistical measure of union coverage.

The transportation, communication, and other public utilities
division was the most extensively unionized. Ninety-four percent of
the plant workers and 62 percent of the office workers were in estab­
lishments in which a majority were covered by one or more a gree­
ments. Coverage in public utilities was so much higher than in other
nonmanufacturing industries that removing the utilities data from
nonmanufacturing totals would reduce the extent of unionization of
office workers in nonmanufacturing from 17 to 6 percent, and that
of plant workers from 57 to 44 percent. Manufacturing industries
had the next highest incidence of coverage for plant workers with
77 percent, while the retail trade group had the lowest with 36 p e r ­
cent. However, retail trade's office workers, with 14 percent c o v er­
age, exceeded all other industry divisions except public utilities in
union contract coverage. The sm allest percentage of unionized office
workers was found in finance (2 percent).

Office workers

In all geographical regions except the South, at least 7 out
of 10 plant workers were in establishments operating under term s of
collective bargaining agreements. Approximately half of the plant
workers in the southern region were covered. Among office workers,
those in the western region had the highest proportion under union
coverage— 18 percent, and those in the South and North Central the
lowest— 14 percent.

Metropolitan
A reas, United States and Regional Summaries, 1960—
61 (BLS Bulletin
1285 -8 4 , 1962). Agreement coverage by size of establishment and
community were included in the examination.

Establishments with 50 workers or more were included in these studies, except in 12 of the
largest areas in which the minimum was 100 in manufacturing, public utilities, and retail trade, and
50 in the other industry divisions.

Appendix A.

Scope and M ethod o f Survey

Data in this report relate to all 212 Standard Metropolitan
Statistical A reas in the United States as established by the Bureau
of the Budget through 1961. Data were collected in only 80 of the
212 areas, but these were selected as a sample designed to represent
all 212 areas.

areas combined, and the establishment sample is designed to allow
presentation of data for each particular area. A s was indicated ea r­
lier, this bulletin is concerned with the data for all metropolitan
areas combined.
The area sample of 80 areas in 1964 and 1965 was based
on the selection of one area from a stratum of sim ilar areas. The
criteria of stratification were size of area, region, and type of indus­
trial activity. Insofar as possible, probability sampling was used and
each area had a chance of selection roughly proportionate to its total
nonagricultural employment. Thirty-seven of the areas were certain
of inclusion in the sample, either because of their size, as measured
by the I960 Census of Population, or because of the unusual nature
of their industry composition. Each of these 37 areas represented
only itself, but each of the 43 other areas represented itself and one
or m ore sim ilar areas, with the data from each area weighted by
the ratio of total nonagricultural employment in the stratum to that
in the sample area when preparing estimates for all areas combined.

Occupational pay data are collected annually in each of the
80 areas, but establishment practices and supplementary wage p ro­
visions are collected annually only in Boston, Chicago, Los A n g e le sLong Beach, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco—
Oakland; in
the other 74 a reas, these data are collected biennially. Tables B - l
through B -6 include data from the previous year in the areas in which
the supplementary data were not collected between July 1964 and
June 1965. Current information was available for about two-thirds of
the employment within scope of the survey. 38*
Industry and Establishment Coverage
A rea survey data were obtained from .representative estab­
lishments within six broad industry divisions: (1) Manufacturing;
(2) transportation, communication, and other public utilities; (3) whole­
sale trade; (4) retail trade; (5) finance, insurance, and real estate;
and (6) selected services. Excluded from the scope of the studies
were the construction and extractive industries and government insti­
tutions. The latter exclusion has a significant effect on the public
utilities industry division. Municipally operated utilities were ex­
cluded, but utilities were included in areas where they are privately
operated.

The establishment sample is stratified as precisely as availa­
ble information perm its. Each geographic industry unit for which a
separate analysis is to be presented is sampled independently. Within
these broad groupings, a finer stratification by product and size of
establishment is made. Each sampled stratum w ill be represented
in the sample by a number of establishments proportionate to its
share of the total employment. The size of the sample in a particular
survey depends on the size of the universe, the diversity of occupa­
tions and their distribution, the relative dispersion of earnings among
establishments, the distribution of the establishment by size, and the
degree of accuracy required.

The scope of the studies was further limited within each of
the six major industry groupings to establishments which employed
50 workers or m ore. In 12 of the largest a re as, the minimum size
was 100 employees in manufacturing, public utilities, and retail trade.
These areas are Baltim ore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit,
Los Angeles—
Long Beach, Newark and Jersey City, New York, P hila­
delphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and San Francisco—
Oakland. Smaller
establishments were omitted because employment in the occupations
studied tended to be insufficient to warrant inclusion.

Approximately 12,200 establishments e m p l o y i n g
about
8, 377,900 workers were included in the Bureau*s sample from an e s ­
timated universe of 6 6 ,3 0 0 establishments employing about 18, 118, 000
workers within scope of the studies in all metropolitan areas. The
estimates as presented relate to all establishments and workers within
scope of the studies in a ll metropolitan areas.

Sampling and Estimating Procedures

Occupational Earnings

The sampling plan can be described as a two-stage design
consisting of an area sample and an establishment sam ple. The area
sample is designed to allow presentation of data for all metropolitan

Workers were classified by occupation on the basis of uniform
job descriptions designed to take account of minor interestablishment
variation in duties within the same job; these job descriptions are
listed in appendix C.
Average earnings are presented (in the A tables), beginning
on page 6. Data are shown for fu ll-tim e w orkers, i. e. , those hired
to work a fu ll-tim e schedule in the given occupational classification.

39 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either o f the following
conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the time of 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.

4® The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer
contributions.
41 An establishment was considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the
minimum number of days of 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.

O cc u p atio n al D escrip 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.

BILLER, MACHINE

BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR

Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other than
an ordinary or electromatic typewriter. May also keep records as to
billings or shipping charges or perform other clerical work incidental
to billing operations. For wage study purposes, billers, machine, are
classified by type of machine, as follows:

Operates a bookkeeping machine (Remington Rand, Elliott Fisher,
Sundstrand, Burroughs, National Cash Register, with or without a type­
writer keyboard) to keep a record of business transactions.

Biller, machine (billing machine). Uses a special billing ma­
chine (Moon Hopkins, Elliott Fisher, Burroughs, e t c ., which are
combination typing and adding machines) to prepare bills and invoices
from customers' purchase orders, internally prepared orders, shipping
memorandums, etc. Usually involves application of predetermined
discounts and shipping charges, and entry of necessary extensions,
which may or may not be computed on the billing machine, and
totals which are automatically accumulated by machine. The oper­
ation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of the bill
being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine.
Biller, machine (bookkeeping machine). Uses a bookkeeping
machine (Sundstrand, Elliott Fisher, Remington Rand, e t c ., which
may or may not have typewriter keyboard) to prepare customers' bills
as part of the accounts receivable operation. Generally involves the
simultaneous entry of figures on customers' ledger record. The ma­
chine automatically accumulates figures on a number of vertical
columns and computes, and usually prints automatically the debit or
credit balances.
Does not involve a knowledge of bookkeeping.
Works from uniform and standard types of sales and credit slips.
