Introduction

This area is 1 of 72 in w hich the U.S. D epartm ent of L a b or 's Bureau o f L abor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits. (See lis t of areas on inside back c o v e r .) In each area , earnings data fo r se lected occupations (A -s e r ie s tab les) are co llected annually. Inform ation on establishm ent p ra ctices and supplem entary wage benefits (B -s e r ie s tab les) is obtained every third year. This report has no B -s e r ie s tables.

Each year after a ll individual area wage surveys have been c o m pleted, two sum m ary bulletins are issu ed . The fir s t brings together data fo r each m etropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and region al estim ates , p ro je cted fro m individual m etropolitan area data, fo r a ll Standard M etropolitan S tatistical A reas in the United States, excluding A laska and Hawaii.

A m a jor con sideration in the area wage survey program is the need to d escr ib e the lev e l and m ovem ent o f wages in a v ariety of labor m arkets, through the analysis o f (1) the leve l and distribution o f wages by occupation , and (2) the m ovem ent o f w ages by occupational ca teg ory and sk ill level. The program develops in form ation that m ay be used fo r many p u rposes, including wage and sa lary adm inistration , co lle c t iv 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 make wage determ inations under the S erv ice Contract A ct o f 1965.

Data are not presented fo r skilled maintenance w orkers in nonmanufacturing becau se the num ber o f w orkers em ployed in this occupational group in nonm anufacturing is too sm all to warrant separate presentation.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey

In each of the 72 1 areas currently surveyed, the Bureau obtains wages and related benefits data from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication,and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Government operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are also excluded because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number of establishments and workers estimated to be within the scope of this survey, as well as the number actually studied.

Bureau field representatives obtain data by personal visits at 3 - year intervals. In each of the two intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings only is collected by a combination of personal visit, m ail questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.

A 8ample of the establishments in the scope of the survey is selected for study prior to each personal visit survey. This sample, less establishments which go out of business or are no longer within the industrial scope of the survey, is retained for the following two annual surveys. In m ost cases, establishments new to the area are not considered in the scope of the survey until the selection of a sample for a personal visit survey.

The sampling procedures involve detailed stratification of all establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of employees. From this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment having a predetermined chance of selection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than sm all establishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment is weighted according to its probability of selection so that unbiased estimates are generated. For example, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a weight of 4 to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classification if data are not available from the original sample m em ber. If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample member that is similar to the missing unit.Occupations and earnings

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, toolroom.

1 Included in the 72 areas are 2 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Akron, Ohio and Poughkeepsie-Kingston-Newburgh, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies in approxim ately 100 areas at the request o f the Employment Standards Administration o f the U. S. Department o f Labor.

and powerplant; and (4) material movement and custodial. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. Occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B.

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 the scope of the survey, are not presented in the A -series tables because either (1) employment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Separate men's and women's earnings data are not presented when the number of workers not identified by sex is 20 percent or more of the men or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in data for all industries combined. Likewise, for occupations with more than one level, data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification is not shown or information to subclassify is not available.

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 bonuses are included. Weekly hours for office clerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the'nearest half dollar. Vertical lines within the distribution of workers on some A-tables indicate a change in the size of the class intervals.

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. Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A -7, are better indicators of wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups.

Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments.


A verage pay leve ls fo r m en and w om en in se lected occupations should not be assum ed to r e fle c t d ifferen ces in pay o f the sexes within individual establishm ents. F actors which m ay contribute to d ifferen ces include p r o g ression within established rate ranges (only the rates paid incum bents are co llected ) and p erform an ce of sp ecific duties within the general survey job descrip tions. Job descrip tion s used to c la s s ify em ployees in these surveys usually are m ore generalized than those used in individual establishm ents and allow for m inor d ifferen ces am ong establishm ents in sp ecific duties perform ed.

Occupational em ploym ent estim ates represen t the total in a ll estab lishm ents within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures am ong establishm ents d iffe r , estim ates of occupational em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple of establishm ents studied serve only to indicate the relative im portance o f the jobs studied. These d ifferences in occupational structure do not a ffect m ateria lly the accu ra cy of the earnings data.Wage trends fo r se lected occupational groups

The percent in creases presented in table A -7 are based on changes in average hourly earnings of m en and wom en in establishm ents reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous year (m atched establishm ents). The data are adjusted to rem ove the e ffects on average earnings o f em p loy ment shifts among establishm ents and turnover of establishm ents included in survey sam ples. The percent in cre a se s , h ow ever, are still a ffected by factors other than wage in crea ses . H irings, la yo ffs , and turnover may a ffect an establishm ent average for an occupation when w ork ers are paid under plans providing a range o f wage rates fo r individual job s . In periods o f in creased h iring, for exam ple, new em ployees m ay enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates.

The percen 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 a lso shown, (it is assum ed that w ages in crea se at a constant rate between su rveys.)Occupations used to com pute wage trends are :

P ercent changes for individual areas in the program are com puted as fo llo w s :

1. Average 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 which are in the survey both years; 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 employm ent in the occupational group in the base year.

3. These weights are used to com pute group averages.Each occupation 's average earnings (com puted in step 1) is m ultiplied by its weight. The products a re totaled to Obtain a group average.

4. The ratio of group averages fo r 2 con secu tive years is computed by dividing the average fo r the current year by the average fo r the ea r lie r year. The resu lt— exp ressed as a percent— less 100 is the percen t change.

F or a m ore detailed descrip tion o f the m ethod used to com pute these wage tren ds, see "Im proving A rea W age Survey In d exes ," Monthly Labor R ev iew , January 1973, pp. 52-57.

A verage pay relationships within establishm ents

Relative m easures of occupational pay are presented in table A -8 for w h ite -co lla r occupations and in table A -9 fo r b lu e -co lla r occupations. These relative values re fle ct d ifferen ces in pay between occupations within individual establishm ents. Relative pay values are com puted by dividing an establishm ent's average earnings fo r an occupation being com pared by the average for another occupation (designated as 100) and m ultiplying the quotient by 100. F or example, if janitors in a fir m average $4 an hour and fork lift operators $5 , fork lift operators have a re la tive pay value of 125 com pared with jan itors. ($5 4- $4 = 1.25, x 100 = 125.) In com bining the relatives of the individual establishm ents to a rr ive at an ov era ll average, each estab lish ment is considered to have as many re la tives as it has w eighted w ork ers in the two jobs being com pared.

Pay relationships based on ov e ra ll averages m ay d iffer con siderab ly because of the varying contribution o f h igh- and low -w age establishm ents to the averages. F or exam ple, the ov e ra ll average hourly earnings fo r fo rk lift operators m ay be 50 percent m ore than the average fo r jan itors becau se the average fo r forklift operators m ay be strongly in fluenced by earnings in high-w age establishm ents while the average fo r jan itors m ay be strongly influenced by earnings in low -w age establishm ents. In such a ca se , the in tra-establishm ent relationship w ill indicate a m uch sm aller d iffe ren ce in earnings.

Establishm ent p ractices and supplem entary wage provision s

Tabulations on selected establishm ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary wage provision s (B -s e r ie s tables) are not presented in this bulletin. In form ation fo r these tabulations is co lle cted at 3 -y ea r in terva ls . T hese tabulations on m inim um entrance sa laries for in experien ced o ffic e w ork ers ; shift d if fe r entials; scheduled w eekly hours and days; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presen ted (in the B -s e r ie s tab les) in previous bulletins for this area.

Appendix B.OccupationalDescriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field representatives 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 permits grouping 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 representatives are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; and part- time, temporary, and probationary workers. Handicapped workers whose earnings are reduced because of their handicap are also excluded. Learners, beginners, and trainees, unless specifically included in the job descriptions, are excluded.

Office

SECRETARY

Assigned as a personal secretary, normally to one individual. Maintains a close and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activities of the supervisor. Works fairly independently receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance. Performs varied clerical and secretarial duties requiring a knowledge of office routine and understanding of the organization, programs, and procedures related to the work of the supervisor.

Exclusions. Not all positions that are titled "secretary" possess the above characteristics. Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows:

a. Positions which do not meet the "personal" secretary concept described above;

b. Stenographers not fully trained in secretarial-type duties;

c. Stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of professional, technical, or managerial persons;

d. Assist ant-type positions which entail more difficult or more responsible technical, administrative, or supervisory duties which are not typical of secretarial work, e .g ., Administrative Assistant, or Executive Assistant:

e. Positions which do not fit any of the situations listed in the sections below titled "Level of Supervisor, " e.g., secretary to the president of a company that employs, in all, over 5 ,000 persons;

f. Trainees.

Classification by Level

Secretary jobs which meet the required characteristics are matched at one of five levels according to (a) the level of the secretary's supervisor within the company's organizational structure and, (b) the level of the secretary's responsibility. The tabulation following the explanations of these two factors indicates the level of the secretary for each combination of the factors.
