Preface

The Community Wage Survey Program

The Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly conducts areawide wage surveys in a number of important industrial centers. The studies, made from late fall to early spring, relate to occupational earnings and related supplementary benefits. A preliminary report is available on completion of the study in each area, usually in the month following the payroll period studied. This bulletin provides additional data not included in the earlier report. A consolidated analytical bulletin summarizing the results of all of the year s surveys is issued after completion of the final area bulletin for the current round of surveys.

This report was prepared in the Bureau s regional office in Chicago, 111. , by Woodrow C. Linn, under the direction of George E. Votava, Assistant Regional Director for Wages and Industrial Relations.

Occupational Wage SurveyAkron, Ohio

Introduction

This area is one of se v e ra l im portant industria l cen ters in w hich the U .S . D epartm ent o f L a b o r 's Bureau of L abor S tatistics conducts surveys of occupational earn ings and related wage benefits on an area b a s is .

The bu lletin presen ts cu rren t occupational em ploym ent and earnings in form ation obtained la rg e ly by m a il from the establishm ents v isited by Bureau fie ld e con om ists in the last p reviou s su rvey fo r o c c u pations rep orted in that e a r lie r study. P e rso n a l v is its w ere m ade to nonrespondents and to those respondents reportin g unusual changes since the p rev iou s su rvey .

In each area , data are obtained from rep resen tative e sta b lish m ents within six broad industry d iv is ion s : M anufacturing; tra n sp or tation, 1 com m u n ication , and other public u tilities ; w holesa le trade; r e tail trade; fin an ce, in su ran ce, and rea l 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 ex tractive in du str ies . Establishm ents having few er than a p re sc r ib e d num ber of w ork ers are om itted a lso becau se they furn ish in su ffic ien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w a r rant in clusion . W h erever p o s s ib le , separate tabulations are provided fo r each of the broad industry d iv is ion s .

These surveys are conducted on a sam ple b a sis becau se of the u n n ecessa ry co st involved in surveying all estab lishm ents. To obtain appropria te a c cu ra cy at m inim um co s t, a g rea ter p rop ortion of large than of sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data, how ev e r , a ll estab lishm ents are given their appropria te w eight. E stim ates based on the establishm ents studied are presen ted , th e re fo re , as r e lating to a ll establishm ents in the industry grouping and area , e x cept fo r those below the m inim um s ize studied.

O ccupations and Earnings

The occupations se lected fo r study are com m on to a v ariety of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in du str ies . O ccupational c la s s ifica tion is based on a u niform set of job d escr ip tion s designed to

1 R a ilroa d s , fo r m e r ly excluded from the scop e of these stud ies, w ere included in a ll o f the areas studied sin ce July 1959, except B a ltim o re (Septem ber 1959 and D ecem ber I960), B uffalo (O ctober 1959), C leveland (Septem ber 1959), and Seattle (August 1959).

take account o f in terestablishm ent variation in duties within the sam e job . (See appendix fo r listing o f these d escr ip tion s . ) Earnings data are p resen ted (in the A -s e r ie s tab les) fo r the fo llow in g types o f o ccu p a tions: (a) O ffice c le r ica l; (b) p ro fe ss io n a l and technical; (c ) m ain tenance and pow erplant; and (d) custod ia l and m a teria l m ovem ent.

O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r fu ll-t im e w o rk e rs , i. e. , those h ired to w ork a regu lar w eekly sch ed ule in the given occupational c la ss ifica tion . Earnings data exclude prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, holidays, and late sh ifts. N onproduction bonuses are excluded a lso , but c o s t -o f - living bonuses and incentive earnings are included. W here w eekly hours are rep orted , as fo r o ffice c le r ic a l occu pation s, re feren ce is to the w ork schedules (rounded to the n earest half hour) fo r which stra igh t-tim e sa la ries are paid; average w eek ly earnings fo r these occupations have been rounded to the n earest half do llar.

A verage earnings o f m en and w om en are presented separately fo r se le cted occupations in w hich both sexes are com m on ly em ployed. D iffe ren ces in pay leve ls of m en and w om en in these occupations are la rg e ly due to ( l ) d iffe ren ces in the d istribution o f the sexes among industries and estab lishm ents; (2) d iffe ren ces in s p e c ific duties p e r fo rm e d , although the occupations are appropria te ly c la ss ifie d within the sam e su rvey jo b d escr ip tion ; and (3) d iffe ren ces in length of s e r v ice or m er it rev iew when individual sa la ries are adjusted on this b a s is . L on ger average se rv ice o f m en would resu lt in h igher average pay when both sexes are em ployed within the sam e rate range. Job d escr ip tion s used in c lass ify in g em ployees in these surveys are usua lly m o re genera lized than those used in individual establishm ents to a llow fo r m inor d iffe ren ces am ong establishm ents in sp e c ific duties p erfo rm e d .

O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates represen t the total in a ll establishm ents within the scope of the study and not the num ber actu a lly su rveyed . B ecause of d iffe ren ces in occupational structure am ong estab lishm ents, the estim ates o f occupational em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple o f establishm ents studied serv e only to indicate the re la tive im portan ce o f the job s studied. These d iffe ren ces in o c cu pational stru ctu re do not m a teria lly a ffect the a ccu ra cy o f the earn ings data.

1 The Akron Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (Summit County). The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and com position of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to ^erve as a basis of com parison with other area employment Indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data com piled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division. Major changes from the earlier edition (used in the Bureau's labor market wage surveys conducted prior to July 1958) are the transfer o f m ilk pasteurization plants and ready-m ixed concrete establishments from trade (wholesale or retail) to manufacturing, and the transfer of radio and television broadcasting from services to the transportation, communication, and other public utilities division.

3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the m inim um -size limitation (50 em ployees). All outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service , and m otion-picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.

4 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded.5 This industry division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation

of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough datato m erit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, (4) there is possibility of d isclosure of individual establishment data.

6 Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit m embership organizations; and engineering and architectural services .

3Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups

P resen ted in table 2 are p ercen ts o f change in sa la ries o f wom en o ffic e c le r ic a l w ork ers and industria l n u rses , and in average earnings o f se le cted plant w ork er groups.

F o r o ffice c le r ic a l w ork ers and industria l n u rses , the p e r cents o f change relate to average w eekly sa la ries fo r norm al hours o f w ork, that is , the standard w ork schedule fo r which stra igh t-tim e sa la ries are paid. F o r plant w ork er groups, they m easu re changes in stra igh t-tim e hourly earn ings, excluding prem iu m pay fo r o v e r tim e and fo r w ork on weekends, h olidays, and late sh ifts. The p e r centages are based on data fo r se lected key occupations and include m ost o f the n u m erica lly im portant job s within each group. The o f f ic e c le r ic a l data are based on wom en in the fo llow ing 18 jo b s : B ille r s , m achine (b illing m ach ine); bookkeeping-m ach ine o p era tors , c la ss A and B; C om ptom eter op era tors ; c le rk s , f ile , c la ss A and B; c le rk s , o rd e r ; c le rk s , p a yro ll; keypunch o p era tors ; o ffic e g ir ls ; s e c r e ta r ie s ; stenograph ers, general; sw itchboard o p era tors ; sw itchboard o p e ra to r - recep tion ists ; tabulating-m achine o p era tors ; tran scrib in g -m ach in e o p era to rs , general; and typ ists , c la ss A and B. The industria l nurse data are based on w om en industrial n u rses . Men in the follow ing 10 sk illed m aintenance job s and 3 unskilled job s w ere included in the plant w ork er data: Skilled carpen ters ; e le c tr ic ia n s ; m ach in ists; m e chanics ; m ech an ics , autom otive; m illw righ ts ; pa in ters; p ip e fitters ; sh eet-m eta l w ork ers ; and too l and die m ak ers ; unskilled ja n itors , p o r te rs , and c lea n ers ; la b o re rs , m a teria l handling; and watchm en.

A verage w eekly sa la ries o r average hourly earnings w ere com puted fo r each o f the se lected occupations. The average s a laries o r hourly earnings w ere then m ultip lied by the average em p loy ment in the job during the months indicated in the title o f table 2 .

T hese weighted earnings fo r individual occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an aggregate fo r each occupational group. F in ally , the ratio o f these group aggregates fo r the one year to the aggregate fo r the other year was com puted and the d iffe ren ce between the resu lt and 100 is the p ercen t o f change fro m the one p er iod to the other.

The percen t of change m ea su res , p r in cip a lly , the e ffects o f ( 1 ) general sa la ry and wage changes; (2 ) m er it o r other in crea ses in pay rece iv ed by individual w ork ers w hile in the sam e jo b ; a,nd (3) changes in the labor fo r ce such as la bor tu rnover, fo r ce expansion s , fo r ce reductions, and changes in the p roportion s o f w ork ers em ployed by establishm ents with d ifferent pay le v e ls . Changes in the labor fo r c e can cause in crea ses o r d e cre a se s in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. F o r exam ple, a fo r c e expansion m ight in crea se the p rop ortion o f low er paid w ork ers in a sp e c ific occupation and resu lt in a drop in the average , w hereas a reduction in the proportion o f low er paid w ork ers would have the opposite e ffect . The m ovem ent o f a h igh-paying establishm ent out o f an area could cause the average earnings to drop, even though no change in rates o c cu rre d in other area establishm ents.

The use o f constant em ploym ent weights elim inates the e ffects o f changes in the p rop ortion o f w ork ers represen ted in each job in cluded in the data. N or are the p ercen ts o f change in fluenced by changes in standard w ork schedules o r in p rem iu m pay fo r overtim e , s in ce they are based on pay fo r stra igh t-tim e hours.

Indexes fo r the p eriod 1953 to I960 fo r w ork ers in 20 m a jor la bor m arkets are p resen ted in BLS Bull. 1265-62, Wages and Related B enefits, 60 L abor M arkets, W inter 1959-60.

Appandix: Occupational Doscriptions

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 is essential 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 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 workers, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
