Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual occupational wage surveys in metropolitan areas is designed to provide data on occupational earnings, and establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions. It yields detailed data by selected industry division for each of the areas studied, for geographic regions, and for the United States. A major consideration in the program is the need for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level, and (2) the structure and level of wages among areas and industry divisions.

At the end of each survey, an individual area bulletin presents the results. After completion of all individual area bulletins for a round of surveys, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings data for each of the metropolitan areas studied into one bulletin. The second presents information which has been projected from individual metropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and the United States.

Ninety-four areas currently are included in the program. In each area, information on occupational earnings is collected annually and on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions biennially.

This bulletin presents results of the survey in Newark and Jersey City, N.J. , in January 1972. The Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (formerly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consist of Essex, Hudson, Morris, and Union Counties. This study was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in New York, N.Y., under the general direction of Alvin I. Margulis , Assistant Regional Director for Operations.

Note:Similar reports are available for other areas. (See inside

back cover.)

Current reports on occupational earnings and supplementary wage provisions in the Newark and Jersey City areas are also available for nonferrous foundries (June 1970); women's coats and suits (August 1970); machinery (November 1970); and paints and varnishes (November 1970). Union wage rates, indicative of prevailing pay levels in the Newark area, are available for building construction; printing; local-transit operating employees; local truckdrivers and helpers; and grocery store employees.


In troduction

This area is 1 of 94 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits on an areawide basis.1 In this area, data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to reoresentative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing;transportation, 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 operations 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.

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. Estimates 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.

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 clerical; (2) professional and technical;(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material movement. 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 the appendix. Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles are for all industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described, or for some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in the A-series tables, because either (1) employment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in all industries combined data, where shown. Likewise, data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification of secretaries or truckdrivers is not shown or information to subclassify is not available.

1 Included in the 94 areas are eight studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Binghamton, N .Y . (New Yoik portion only); Durham, N. C . ; Fort Lauderdale—Hollywood and West Palm Beach, Fla.; Huntsville, A la .; Poughkeepsie-Kingston-Newburgh, N .Y . ; Rochester, N .Y . (office occupations only); Syracuse, N. Y . ; and Utica—Rome, N .Y . In addition the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in 64 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time workers, i.e., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive earnings are included.2 Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar.

These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular time. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over time may not reflect expected wage changes. The averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. For example, proportions of workers employed by high- or low-wage firms may change or high-wage workers may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new workers at lower rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an occupational average even though most establishments in an area increase wages during the year. Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table 2, are better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups.

The averages presented reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing and, thus, contribute differently to the estimates for each job. The pay relationship obtainable from the averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage spread or differential maintained among jobs in individual establishments. Similarly, 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. Other possible factors which may contribute to differences in pay for men and women include: Differences in progression within established rate ranges, since only the actual rates paid incumbents are collected; and differences in specific duties performed, although the workers are classified appropriately within the same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying employees in these surveys are usually more generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in the specific duties performed.

Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all 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 differences in occupational structure do not affect materially the accuracy of the earnings data.

Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions

Information is presented (in the B-series tables) on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions as they relate to plant- and officeworkers. Data for industry divisions not presented separately are included in the estimates for "all industries." Administrative, executive, and professional employees, and construction workers who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded. "Plantworkers" include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. "Officeworkers" include working supervisors and nonsupervisory workers performing clerical or related functions. Cafeteria workers and routemen are excluded in manufacturing industries, but included in nonmanufacturing industries.

Minimum entrance salaries for women officeworkers (table B-l) relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum sampling techniques used, and the probability that large establishments are more likely to have formal entrance rates for workers above the subclerical level than small establishments, the table is more representative of policies in medium and large establishments.

Shift differential data (table B-2) are limited to plantworkers in manufacturing industries. This information is presented both in terms of (1) establishment policy,3 presented in terms of total plantworker employment, and (2) effective practice, presented in terms of workers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a majority was used or, if no amount applied to a majority, the classification "other" was used. In establishments in which some late-shift hours are paid at normal rates, a differential was recorded only if it applied to a majority of the shift hours.

The scheduled weekly hours and days (table B-3) of a majority of the first-shift workers in an establishment are tabulated as applying to all of the plant- or officeworkers of that establishment. Scheduled weekly hours and days are those which a majority of fulltime employees were expected to work, whether they were paid for at straight-time or overtime rates.

Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans (tables B-4 through B-6) are treated statistically on the basis that these are applicable to all plant- or officeworkers if a

3 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the following conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the time of the survey, or (2) had formal provisions covering lateshifts. 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.

majority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the practices listed. Sums of individual items in tables B-2 through B-6 may not equal totals because of rounding.

Data on paid holidays (table B-4) are limited to data on holidays granted annually on a formal basis; i.e., (1) are provided for in written form, or (2) have been established by custom. Holidays ordinarily granted are included even though they may fall on a nonworkday and the worker is not granted another day off. The first part of the paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays actually granted. The second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday time.

The summary of vacation plans (table B-5) is limited to a statistical measure of vacation provisions. It is not intended as a measure of the proportion of workers actually receiving specific benefits. Provisions of an establishment for all lengths of service were tabulated as applying to all plant- or officeworkers of the establishment, regardless of length of service. Provisions for payment on other than a time basis were converted to a time basis; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of 1 week's pay. Only basic plans are included. Estimates exclude vacation bonus and vacation-savings plans and those which offer "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans with qualifying lengths of service. Such exclusions are typical in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.

Data on health, insurance, and pension plans (table B-6) include those plans for which the employer pays at least a part of the cost. Such plans include those underwritten by a commercial insurance company and those provided through a union fund or paid directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose. An establishment was considered to have a plan if the majority of employees was eligible to be covered under the plan, even if less than a majority elected to participate because employees were required to contribute toward the cost of the plan. Legally required plans, such as workmen's compensation, social security, and railroad retirement were excluded.

Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of insurance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly to the insured during temporary illness or accident disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes. However, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted temporary disability insurance laws which require employer contributions,4 plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of paid sick

leave plans are limited to formal plans 5 which provide full pay or a proportion of the worker's pay during absence from work because of illness. Separate tabulations are presented according to (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans which provide either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presentation of the proportions of workers who are provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of workers who receive either or both types of benefits.

Long-term disability plans provide payments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sickness and accident insurance, or after a predetermined period of disability (typically 6 months). Payments are made until the end of

the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Payments may be at full or partial pay but are almost always reduced by social security, workmen's compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled employee.

Major medical insurance includes those plans which are designed to protect employees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond the coverage of basic hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial payment of doctors' fees. Dental insurance usually covers fillings, extractions, and X-rays. Excluded are plans which cover only oral surgery or accident damage. Plans may be underwritten by commerical insurance companies or nonprofit organizations or they may be paid for by the employer out of a fund set aside for this purpose. Tabulations of retirement pension plans are limited to those plans that provide regular payments for the remainder of the worker's life.

W a g e T ren d s fo r S e le c te d O ccupational G roups

Presented in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change in average salaries of off ice c le r ica l workers and industrial nurses, and in average earnings of selected plantworker groups. The indexes are a measure of wages at a given time, expressed as a percent of wages during the base period. Subtracting 100 from the index yields the percentage change in wages from the base period to the date of the index. The percentages of change or increase relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of increase, where shown, re flect the amount of increase for 12 months when the time period between surveys was other than 12 months. These computations were based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant rate between surveys. These estimates are measures of change in a v e r ages for the area; they are not intended to measure average pay changes in the establishments in the area.

Method of Computing

Each of the following key occupations within an occupational group was assigned a constant weight based on its proportionate em ployment in the occupational group;

Office clerical (men and women): Bookkeeping-machine

operators, class B Clerks, accounting, classes

A and BClerks, f ile , classes

A , B, and C Clerks, order Clerks, payroll Comptometer operators Keypunch operators, classes

A and BMessengers (o ffice boys or

girls)

O ffice clerical (men and women)— Continued

SecretariesStenographers, general Stenographers, senior Switchboard operators, classes

A and BTabulating-machine operators,

class BTypists, classes A and B

Industrial nurses (men and women):

Nurses, industrial (registered)

Skilled maintenance (men): Carpenters Electricians Machinists MechanicsMechanics (automotive)PaintersPipefittersTool and die makers

Unskilled plant (men):Janitors, porters, and

cleanersLaborers, material handling

The average (mean) earnings for each occupation were multiplied by the occupational weight, and the products for all occupations in the group were totaled. The aggregates for 2 consecutive years were related by dividing the aggregate for the later year by the agg re gate for the ea r l ie r year. The resultant relative, less 100 percent,

shows the percentage change. The index is the product of multiplying the base year relative (100) by the relative for the next succeeding year and continuing to multiply (compound) each year 's relative by the previous year 's index.

Fo r off ice c le r ica l workers and industrial nurses, the wage trends relate to regular weekly salaries for the normal workweek, exclusive of earnings for overtime. Fo r plantworker 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 include most of the numerically important jobs within each group.

Limitations of Data

The indexes and percentages of change, as measures of change in area averages, are influenced by; (1) general salary and wage changes, (2) m erit or other increases in pay received by individual workers while in the same job, and (3) changes in average wages due to changes in the labor force resulting from labor turnover, fo rce expansions, force reductions, and changes in the p roportions of workers 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. It is conceivable that even though all establishments in an area gave wage increases, average wages may have declined because lower-paying establishments entered the area or expanded their work forces. Similarly, wages may have remained re la t ive ly constant, yet the averages for an area may have risen considerably because higher-paying establishments entered the area.

The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effect of changes in the proportion of workers represented in each job in cluded in the data. The percentages of change ref lect 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. Where necessary, data were adjusted to remove from the indexes and percentages of change any significant effect caused by changes in the scope of the survey.

Footnotes

A l l of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin.

1 Standard hours re f lect the workweek for which employees rece ive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.

2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of workers. The median designates position— half of the employees surveyed rece ive m ore than the rate shown; half rece ive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than the higher rate.

3 Excludes premium pay for overt im e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.4 These salaries relate to fo rm a lly established minimum starting (hiring) regular straight-time salaries that are paid fo r standard

workweeks.5 Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as messenger.6 Data are presented for a ll standard workweeks combined, and for the most common standard workweeks reported. ̂ Includes all plantworkers in establishments currently operating late shifts, and establishments whose fo rm al provisions cover late

shifts, even though the establishments were not currently operating late shifts.8 Less than 0.05 percent.9 Less than 0.5 percent.10 A l l combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; for example, the proportion of workers receiving a

total of 9 days includes those with 9 full days and no half days, 8 full days and 2 half days, 7 full days and 4 half days, and so on. Proportions then were cumulated.

11 Includes payments other than "length of t im e , " such as percentage of annual earnings or f lat-sum payments, converted to an equivalent time basis; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 week 's pay. Per iods of serv ice were chosen arb itrar i ly and do not necessar i ly re f lect the individual provisions for progression. For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 10 years ' serv ice include changes in provisions occurring between 5 and 10 years. Estimates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion e lig ib le for 3 weeks' pay or m ore after 10 years includes those e lig ib le for 3 weeks' pay or m ore after fewer years of serv ice.

12 Estimates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. "Noncontributory plans" include only those plans financed entire ly by the employer. Excluded are lega lly required plans, such as workmen's compensation, social security, and ra ilroad retirement.

13 Unduplicated total of workers receiv ing sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are l im ited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that can be expected by each employee. Informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.


Appendix. Occupational Descriptions

The prim ary purpose o f preparing job descriptions fo r the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its fie ld staff in c lassify ing into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety o f payroll titles and d ifferent work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This perm its the grouping o f occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because o f this emphasis on interestablishment and in terarea com parability o f occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may d iffe r significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared fo r other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's fie ld econom ists are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; tra inees; and handicapped, part-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
