Appendix AA r e a wage and rela ted benefits data are obtained by persona l v is i ts

of Bureau f ie ld rep resen ta t ives at 3 -yea r in terva ls . 1 In each of the in t e r vening y ea rs , in fo rm ation on em ploym ent and occupational earn ings is c o l lec ted by a combination of persona l v is i t , m a i l questionnaire , and telephone in te rv iew f rom estab lishm ents partic ipating in the prev ious survey.

In each o f the 84 2 areas cu rren t ly surveyed, data are obtained from rep resen ta t ive estab lishm ents within six broad industry d iv is ions : Manufacturing; transporta t ion , communication, and other public u ti l i t ies ; wholesa le trade; r e ta i l trade ; finance, insurance, and r ea l estate; and s e rv ic e s . M a jor industry groups excluded f ro m these studies are government operations and the construction and ex trac t ive industr ies . Establishments having few e r than a p re s c r ib ed number o f w o rk e rs are omitted because of insu ff ic ient em p lo y ment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are p rov ided fo r each o f the broad industry d iv is ions which m ee t publication c r i t e r ia .

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The sampling procedures invo lve deta iled strat i f ica t ion of a l l estab lishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of em p loyees . F ro m this s tra t i f ied un iverse a probab il ity sample is se lec ted , with each estab lishm ent having a p redeterm ined chance of se lection . To obtain optimum accuracy at m in im um cost, a g rea te r proportion o f large than sm all es tablishments is se lec ted . When data are combined, each estab lishment is weighted accord ing to its probab il ity of se lection, so that unbiased es t im ates are generated. F o r exam ple, i f one out of four estab lishments is se lected , it is g iven a weight of four to rep resen t i t s e l f plus th ree others. An alternate of the same o r ig in a l probabil ity is chosen in the same indu s try -s ize c la s s i f ica t ion i f data are not availab le f rom the o r ig ina l sample m em b er . I f no suitable substitute is ava ilab le , additional weight is assigned to a sample m em b e r that is s im i la r to the m iss ing unit.

Occupations and earnings

Occupations se lected for study are com mon to a v a r ie ty of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industr ies , and are o f the fo l low ing types: (1) O f f ic e c l e r i c a l ; (2) p ro fess ion a l and technica l; (3) maintenance, to o lroom , and powerp lant; and (4) m a te r ia l m ovem ent and custodial. Occupational c lass i f ica t ion is based on a uniform set of job descr ip t ions designed to take account o f in teres tab lishm en t var ia t ion in duties within the same job. Occupations se lec ted fo r study are listed and desc r ibed in appendix B. Unless otherw ise indicated, the earnings data fo l low ing the job t i t le s are for a l l industr ies combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations lis ted and

1 Personal visits were on a 2-year cycle before July 1972.2 Included in the 84 areas are 14 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are

Akron, Ohio; Austin, T ex .; Binghamton, N .Y . — P a .; Birmingham, A la .; Fort Lauderdale—Hollywood and West Palm Beach—Boca Raton, F la .; Lexington—Fayette, K y . ; Melbourne—Titusville—Cocoa, F la.; Norfolk—Virginia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, Va. —N. C. ; Poughkeepsie—Kingston—Newburgh, N. Y. ; Raleigh— Durham, N. C . ; Stamford, Conn.; Syracuse, N . Y . ; Utica—Rome, N .Y . ; and Westchester County, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies in approximately 100 areas at the request o f the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department o f Labor.

descr ib ed , o r fo r some industry d iv is ions within the scope of the survey, are not presented in t h e .A - s e r i e s tab les , because e ither (1) employment in the occupation is too sm a ll to p rov ide enough data to m e r i t presentation, .or (2) there is poss ib i l i ty o f d isc losu re of individual establishment data. Separate m en 's and w om en 's earnings data are not presented when the number o f w o rk e rs not identif ied by sex is 20 percent or m ore of the men or women identif ied in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separate ly for industry d iv is ions are included in data fo r all industries combined. L ik ew ise , data are included in the o v e r a l l c lass i f ica t ion when a subclassif ication of e le c t ro n ic s techn ic ians , s e c r e ta r ie s , or t ru ck d r iv e rs is not shown or in fo r m ation to subc lass ify is not ava ilab le .

Occupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r fu l l - t im e w o rk e rs , i .e . , those hired to work a regu lar w eek ly schedule. Earnings data exclude prem ium pay fo r o v e r t im e and fo r work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t -o f - l i v in g a l lowances and incentive bonuses are included. W eek ly hours for o f f ice c l e r i c a l and p ro fess ion a l and techn ica l occupations r e fe r to the standard workweek (rounded to the neares t half hour) fo r which em ployees r e c e iv e regu lar s tra igh t- t im e sa la r ie s (exc lus ive of pay fo r o ve r t im e at regu lar and/or p rem ium ra tes ) . A v e ra g e w eek ly earnings fo r these occupations are rounded to the neares t half do l la r .

These surveys m easu re the l e v e l o f occupational earnings in an area at a par t icu lar t im e. C om parisons o f individual occupational a ve rages ove r t im e m ay not r e f le c t expected wage changes. The a ve rages for individual jobs a re a ffected by changes in wages and employm ent patterns. F o r exam ple , p roport ions o f w o rk e rs em ployed by high- or low -w age f i rm s m ay change, or h igh-w age w o rk e rs m ay advance to better jobs and be rep laced by new w o rk e rs at low er rates. Such shifts in employm ent could d ecrease an occu pational ave ra ge even though m ost estab lishm ents in an area increa'se wages during the yea r . Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A -7 , a re be tter ind icators of wage trends than are earnings changes fo r ind iv idual jobs within the groups.

A v e ra g e earnings r e f le c t com pos ite , areaw ide est im ates. Industries and estab lishm ents d i f fe r in pay l e v e l and job staffing, and thus contribute d i f fe r en t ly to the es t im ates f o r each job. Pay ave rages m ay fa i l to re f le c t accu ra te ly the wage d i f fe r en t ia l among jobs in individual establishments.

A v e ra g e pay le v e ls fo r men and women in se lec ted occupations should not be assumed to r e f le c t d i f fe ren ces in pay of the sexes within individual estab lishm ents. F a c to rs which m ay contribute to d i f fe rences include p ro g ress ion within estab lished rate ranges (on ly the ra tes paid incumbents are co l le c ted ) and pe r fo rm an ce o f spec if ic duties within the gen era l survey job desc r ip t ion s . Job descr ip t ions used to c la s s i fy em p loyees in these surveys usually are m o re g en e ra l iz ed than those used in individual estab lishments and a l low fo r m in or d i f fe ren ces among estab lishments in spec if ic duties p e r fo rm ed .


Occupational em p loym ent est im ates rep resen t the total in a l l es tablishments within the scope o f the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational s tructures among establishments d i f fe r , e s t im a tes o f occupational em ploym ent obtained f rom the sample o f estab lishments studied se rve only to indicate the r e la t iv e im portance o f the jobs studied. These d i f fe ren ces in occupational structure do not a f fect m a te r ia l ly the accuracy of the earnings data.

Wage trends fo r se lec ted occupational groups

The percent in c rea ses presented in table A -7 are based on changes in ave ra ge hourly earn ings fo r estab lishments report ing the trend jobs in both the current and prev ious yea r (matched estab lishm ents ). The data are adjusted to r em ove the e f fec ts on a ve ra ge earn ings of employm ent shifts among estab lishm ents and turnover of estab lishm ents included in survey sam ples. The percen t in c reases , however , are s t i l l a f fected by fac tors other than wage in c reases . H ir ing, layo f fs , and turnover m ay a f fect an estab lishm ent a ve ra ge fo r an occupation when w o rk e rs a re paid under plans prov id ing a range o f wage rates fo r individual jobs . In per iods of in c reased h ir ing, fo r exam ple , new em p loyees enter at the bottom o f the range, depress ing the ave rage without a change in wage ra tes .

The percent changes re la te to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the t im e span between surveys is other than 12 months, annual ra tes are shown. (It is assumed that wages in c rease at a constant rate between surveys . )

Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions

The p r im a ry purpose of p repar ing job descr ip t ions fo r the Bureau 's wage surveys is to ass is t its f ie ld staff in c lass i fy ing into appropriate occupations w o rk e rs who a re em p loyed under a v a r ie t y of p ay ro l l t i t les and d if fe ren t work arrangem ents f r o m estab lishment to estab lishm ent and f ro m area to a rea .
