Selected Metropolitan Areas, 1972—73

Introduction

Occupational earnings data fo r 95 metropolitan areas are provided in tables A - 1 through A - 11. The tables present average (mean) stra ight-t im e earnings of selected o ff ice c le r ica l, professional and technical, maintenance and powerplant, and custodial and m ater ia l movement occupations. Earnings data are reported for: (1) All in­dustries combined, (2) manufacturing, (3) nonmanufacturing, and (4) separately for public utilit ies, except for professional and technical occupations fo r which data w ere insufficient to warrant presentation.

Fo llow ing table A - 11 are three tables on wage changes and indexes fo r four occupational groups— off ice c le r ica l , industrial nurses, skilled maintenance, and unskilled plant w orkers . Table A - 12 provides percent changes in average earnings for the 1-year period 1972-73; table A - 13, 1973 indexes of average earnings (1967=100); and table A - 14, average annual rates of increase in earnings for the period 1961-73.

The B- ser ies tables provide information on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions fo r o ff ice w orkers and plant w orkers in 29 metropolitan areas in 1972-73. Table B - 1 shows the percent o f plant workers in manufacturing working on late shifts by type of shift pay d ifferentia l. The remaining B-tables show data fo r scheduled week ly hours and days; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans.

There are two appendixes to this bulletin. Appendix A de­scr ibes the methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program and provides information on the scope o f the individual studies. The four tables in appendix A show ( l ) number of workers employed in the six m a jor industry divisions studied, (2) important manufacturing industries in the area, (3) percent o f workers in key nonmanufacturing industries, and (4) extent of labor-management coverage. Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field economists to c lass i fy workers in occupations for which straight- time earnings information is presented.

Appendix A table 1. Scope of surveys— Continued

1 Consists of Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA) as defined by the Office o f Management and Budget through November 1971. The following studies relate to 2 SMSA's combined: FortLauderdale—Hollywood and West Palm Beach; Los Angelee—Long Beach and Anaheim—Santa Ana—Garden Grove; Midland and Odessa; Newark and Jersey City; New York and Nassau—Suffolk; and Norfolk— V irgin ia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton. The Lexington, Ky. study includes Madison County in addition to the SMSA (Fayette County), and the Poughkeepsie—Kingston—Newburgh, N.Y. study includes Orange, Putnam, and Ulster Counties in addition to the SMSA (Dutchess County). The Binghamton, N.Y. study was lim ited to the New York portion of the SMSA (Broome and Tioga Counties).

2 Totals include executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories. The estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis o f comparison with other employment indexes for the area to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning o f wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

3 Includes data for 5 broad nonmanufacturing industry groups shown separately.4 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities. Excludes taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation. Municipally operated establishments are excluded, by definition,

from the scope of the survey. A ll or major local-transit operations in Akron, Albany—Schenectady—T roy , Albuquerque, Atlanta, Baltimore, Binghamton, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Kansas City, Los Angeles—Long Beach and Anaheim-Santa Ana—Garden Grove, Miami, New York and Nassau-Suffolk, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, Oreg.—Wash., Riverside^San Bernardino-Ontario, Rochester, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francis co-Oakland, Savannah, Seattle-Everett, South Bend, Tampa—St. Petersburg, Utica-Rome, Washington, and Wichita were municipally operated; as were electric utility operations in Birmingham (supplying less than half of the electric ity consumed), Chattanooga, Cleveland (supplying less than half of the e lectric ity consumed), Jacksonville, Los Angeles—Long Beach and Anaheim-Santa Ana^Garden Grove, Phoenix (supplying less than half of the electricity consumed), and Seattle-Everett; e lectric and gas operations in Huntsville, Memphis, Omaha, and San Antonio; and gas operations in Indianapolis and Richmond.

5 Finance, insurance, and real estate. Workers from the entire division are represented in the A tables. Plant workers in finance and insurance are not included in estimates for plant workers in the scope table nor in the B tables. Data for plant workers in real estate, however, are included in "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" estimates.

6 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.

7 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A tables, and for "a ll industries, " where presented, in the B tables. (Some surveys are lim ited to occupational earnings. See footnote 8.) Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or more o f the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed in itially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.

8 Survey lim ited to occupational earnings; separate plant and office employment totals were not compiled. The most recent plant and office employments can be found in appendix table 1 o f BLS Bulletin 1725-95 or in the appendix A table of BLS Bulletin 1685-91. Dashes indicate that coverage was sufficient to justify separate presentation of data in the A tables of this bulletin and/or the individual area bulletins.

9 Minimum-size establishment in employment was 50 workers in the wholesale trade, finance, and services industry groups; and 100 workers in the manufacturing, public utilities, and retail trade groups.

1 Data for crude petroleum and natural gas are excluded in all areas except Midland and Odessa and Oklahoma City, where they are included in "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing."

N O T E : The 1967 ed ition o f the Standard Industria l C la ss ifica tion Manual was used to c la s s ify estab lishm ents by industry d iv is ion .

Estimates do not necessarily represent the extent to which all workers in the area may be covered by labor-management agreements because of the exclusion of small size establishments. Data are lim ited to establishments with 50 employees or more except in the 12 largest areas where the minimum size adopted was 100 employees in manufacturing, public utilities, and retail trade. See appendix A, table 1, for further explanation of the scope of the surveys.

Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions

The prim ary 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 o f 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 o f 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; and handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
