Introduction

This area is 1 o f 7 5 in w hich the U.S. Departm ent o f L a b o r 's Bureau o f L abor Statistics conducts surveys o f occupational earnings and related benefits. (See list o f areas on inside back co v e r .) In each area , occupational earnings data (A -s e r ie s tab les) are co lle cted annually. Inform ation on estab lishm ent p ra ctices and supplem entary wage benefits (B -s e r ie s tab les) is obtained every th ird year. This report has no B -s e r ie s tab les.

Each y ear after a ll individual area wage surveys have been co m pleted, two sum m ary bulletins are issu ed . The firs t brings together data fo r each m etropolitan area surveyed; the second presen ts national and regional estim a tes , p ro je cted fro m individual m etropolitan area data, for all Standard M etropolitan S tatistica l A reas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

A m a jor consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to descr ibe the le v e l and m ovem ent o f w ages in a variety o f labor m ark ets, through the analysis o f (1) the leve l and distribution o f w ages by occupation , and (2) the m ovem ent o f w ages by occupational category and sk ill lev e l. The program develops in form ation that m ay be used fo r many pu rp oses, including wage and sa lary adm inistration , co lle c tiv e bargaining, and assistance in determ ining plant location . Survey resu lts a lso are used by the U.S. D epartment o f L abor to m ake wagd determ inations under the S erv ice Contract Act o f 1965.

A -s e r ie s tablesTables A - 1 through A - 6 provide estim ates o f stra igh t-tim e w eekly

o r hourly earnings for w ork ers in occupations com m on to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing in du stries . F o r the 31 la rgest survey areas , tables A -8 through A - 13 provide s im ila r data fo r establishm ents em ploying 500 w orkers o r m ore .

Table A - 7 provides percen t changes in average hourly earnings of o ffice c le r ica l w ork ers , e le ctron ic data p rocess in g w o rk e rs , industrial n u rses , skilled m aintenance trades w o rk e rs , and unskilled plant w ork ers . W here possib le , data are presented fo r a ll industries and fo r m anufacturing and nonmanufacturing separately . Data are not presen ted fo r sk illed m aintenance w orkers in nonm anufacturing becau se the num ber o f w ork ers em ployed in this occupational group in nonm anufacturing is too sm all to w arrant separate presentation. This table provides a m easu re of wage trends after elim ination o f changes in average earnings caused by em p loy ment shifts among establishm ents as w ell as tu rnover o f establishm ents included in survey sam ples. F or further deta ils , see appendix A.

The median designates p osition — half o f the w ork ers rece iv e the same or m ore and half rece iv e the sam e o r le s s than the rate shown. The m iddle range is defined by two rates o f pay: a fourth o f the w ork ers earn the same or less than the low ero f these rates and a fourth earn the sam e or m ore than the higher rate.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey

In each o f the 75 * 1 areas cu rren tly surveyed , the Bureau obtains w ages and related benefits data from representative establishm ents within six broad industry d iv is ion s : M anufacturing; transportation , com m unication ,and other public u tilities ; w h olesa le trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and s e r v ic e s . G overnm ent operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded. Establishm ents having few er than a p rescr ib ed num ber o f w ork ers are also excluded becau se o f insufficient em ploym ent in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number o f establishm ents and w ork ers estim ated to be within the scope of this survey, as w ell as the num ber actually studied.

Bureau fie ld representatives obtain data by p erson a l v isits at 3 - year in terva ls. In each o f the two intervening years, in form ation on em ploym ent and occupational earnings only is co lle c te d by a com bination o f person al v isit, m a il questionnaire, and telephone in terview from establishm ents participating in the previous survey .

A sam ple o f the establishm ents in the scope o f the survey is se lected fo r study p r io r to each person a l v is it su rvey . This sam ple, le s s establishm ents w hich go out o f bu siness o r are no lon ger within the industrial scope of the su rvey , is retained fo r the follow ing two annual su rveys. In m ost ca se s , establishm ents new to the area are not con sidered in the scope o f the su rvey until the se lection o f a sam ple fo r a person a l v isit survey.

The sam pling p roced u res invoLve detailed stra tifica tion o f all establishm ents within the scope o f an individual area survey by industry and number o f em p loyees . F rom this stra tified u n iverse a probability sam ple is se lected , with each establishm ent having a predeterm in ed chance of se lection . To obtain optim um accu racy at m inim um cost, a grea ter proportion o f large than sm all establishm ents is se le cted . When data are com bined, each establishm ent is w eighted accord ing to its probability o f se lection so that unbiased estim ates are generated. F o r exam ple, if one out of four establishm ents is se lected , it is given a w eight o f 4 to represen t itse lf plus three o th ers. An alternate o f the sam e orig ina l probability is chosen in the sam e in d u stry -s ize c la ss ifica tio n if data are not available from the origina l sam ple m e m b er . If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sam ple m em ber that is s im ila r to the m issin g unit.O ccupations and earnings

O ccupations se lected fo r study are com m on to a variety o f m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in du stries , and are o f the follow ing types: (1)O ffice c le r ic a l; (2) p ro fess ion a l and tech nica l; (3) m aintenance, too lroom ,

These areas are Akron, Ohio; Birmingham, Ala.; Norfolk—Virginia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, Va.—N .C .; Poughkeepsie-'-Kingston— Newburgh, N .Y .; and Utica—Rome, N .Y. In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in approximately 100 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.

and powerplant; and (4) m ateria l m ovem ent and custod ia l. O ccupational c la ss ifica tion is based on a uniform set o f jo b d escr ip tion s designed to take account o f in terestablishm ent variation in duties within the sam e job . O ccupations selected fo r study are lis ted and d escr ib ed in appendix B.

Unless otherw ise indicated, the earnings data fo llow ing the job titles are for all industries com bined. Earnings data fo r som e o f the occupations listed and descr ibed , or fo r som e industry d iv isions within the scope o f the survey, are not presen ted in the A -s e r ie s tables becau se either (1) em ploym ent in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m e r it presentation, or (2) there is p o ss ib ility o f d is c lo su re o f individual establishm ent data. Separate m en 's and w om en 's earnings data are not presented when the number of w ork ers not identified by sex is 20 percen t or m o re o f the m en or w om en identified in an occu pation . Earnings data not shown separately fo r industry d iv is ion s are included in data for all industries com bined. L ikew ise, fo r occupations with m o re than one lev e l, data are included in the overa ll c la ss ifica tio n when a su b c la ss ifica tion is not shown o r inform ation to su bcla ss ify is not availab le.

O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r fu ll-tim e w ork ers , i .e ., those h ired to w ork a regu lar w eekly schedule . Earnings data exclude prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, holidays, and late sh ifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t -o f- l iv in g allow ances and incentive bonuses are included. W eekly hours fo r o ffice c le r ica l and p rofess ion a l and tech n ica l occupations re fe r to the standard w orkw eek (rounded to the n earest half hour) fo r which em ployees re ce iv e regu lar stra ight-tim e sa laries (ex clu sive o f pay fo r overtim e at regular an d /or prem ium rates). A verage w eekly earnings fo r these occupations are rounded to the n earest half d o lla r . V ertica l lines within the d istribution of w ork ers on som e A -tab les indicate a change in the s ize o f the c la ss in terva ls.

These surveys m easu re the le v e l o f occupational earnings in an area at a particu lar tim e. C om parisons o f individual occupational averages over tim e m ay not re fle ct expected wage changes. The averages fo r individual jobs are affected by changes in w ages and em ploym ent patterns. F o r exam ple, proportion s o f w ork ers em ployed by high- o r low -w age firm s m ay change, or h igh-w age w ork ers m ay advance to better job s and be rep laced by new w ork ers at low er rates. Such shifts in em ploym ent could d e cre a se an o c cu pational average even though m ost establishm ents in an area in crea se w ages during the year. Changes in earnings o f occupational groups, shown in table A - 7, are better indicators o f wage trends than are earnings changes fo r individual jobs within the groups.

A verage earnings re fle ct com p os ite , areaw ide estim ates . Industries and establishm ents d iffer in pay le v e l and job staffing, and thus contribute d ifferen tly to the estim ates fo r each jo b . P ay averages m ay fa il to r e fle c t accurately the wage d ifferentia l among job s in individual establishm ents.


A verage pay lev e ls fo r m en and women in selected occupations should not be assum ed to re fle ct d iffe ren ces in pay o f the sexes within individual estab lishm ents. F a ctors w hich m ay contribute to d ifferen ces include p r o g re ss io n within estab lished rate ranges (only the rates paid incum bents are co lle c te d ) and p er form a n ce o f sp ecific duties within the general survey job d escr ip tion s . Job d escr ip tion s used to c la ss ify em ployees in these surveys u sually are m o re gen era lized than those used in individual establishm ents and allow fo r m in or d iffe re n ce s among establishm ents in sp e c ific duties pe r form ed .

O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates represent the total in a ll esta b lishm ents within the scop e o f the study and not the number actually surveyed. B ecause occupational stru ctu res among establishm ents d iffe r , estim ates of occupational em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple o f establishm ents studied serv e on ly to indicate the relative im portance of the job s studied. These d iffe re n ce s in occu pation al structure do not a ffect m ateria lly the a ccu ra cy of the earn ings data.

W age trends fo r se le cted occupational groups

The p ercen t in cre a se s presented in table A -7 are based on changes in average h ourly earn ings o f m en and wom en in establishm ents reporting the trend job s in both the curren t and previous year (matched establishm ents). The data are adjusted to rem ove the e ffects on average earnings o f em p loy m ent shifts am ong establishm ents and turnover of establishm ents included in su rvey sam ples. The percen t in crea ses , however, are still a ffected by fa c to rs other than wage in cre a se s . H irings, layoffs , and turnover m ay a ffect an establishm ent average fo r an occupation when w orkers are paid under plans provid in g a range o f wage rates fo r individual job s . In p eriod s o f in creased h iring , fo r exam ple, new em ployees m ay enter at the bottom o f the range, dep ress in g the average without a change in wage rates.

The p ercen t changes relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the tim e span between surveys is other than 12 m onths, annual rates are shown, (it is assum ed that wages in crease at a constant rate between su rvey s .)

P ercen t changes fo r individual areas in the p rogram are computed as fo llow s :

1. A verage earnings are com puted fo r each occupation for the 2 years being com pared . The averages are derived from earnings in those establishm ents w hich are in the su rvey both yea rs ; it is assum ed that em ploym ent rem ains unchanged.

2. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its p r o portionate em ploym ent in ihe occupational group in the base year.

3. These weights are used to com pute group averages. Each occu pation 's average earnings (com puted in step 1) is m ultip lied by its w eight. The products are totaled to obtain a group average .

4. The ratio o f group averages fo r 2 consecutive years is com puted by dividing the average fo r the current year by the average fo r the e a r lie r year. The resu lt— expressed as a percen t— le ss 100 is the percen t change.
