Area Wage Survey—

The Fort Worth, T ei., Metropolitan AreaIntroduction

This area is 1 of 85 in w hich the U.S. D epartm ent of L a b o r 's Bureau of L abor Statistics conducts su rveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areaw ide ba sis .

This bu lletin presen ts curren t occupational em ploym ent and earnings in form ation obtained la rg e ly by m a il fr o m the establishm ents v is ited by Bureau fie ld econ om ists in the last p reviou s su rvey fo r occupations reported in that e a r lie r study. P erson a l v is its w ere made to nonrespondents and to those respondents reportin g unusual changes since the p reviou s survey.

In each area , data are obtained fr6 m represen tative estab lishm ents within six broad industry d iv is ion s : M anufacturing; tra n s portation , com m unication , and other public u tilities ; w holesa le trade; reta il trade; finance, insu ran ce, and rea l estate ; and s e r v ice s . M ajor industry groups excluded fro m these studies are governm ent o p e ra tions and the constru ction and ex tractive in du stries . Establishm ents having few er than a p r e sc r ib e d num ber of w ork ers are om itted becau se they tend to furn ish in su ffic ien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w arrant inclusion . Separate tabulations are p rovided fo r each of the broad industry d iv is ion s w hich m eet pu blication cr ite r ia .

These surveys are conducted on a sam ple ba sis becau se of the u nn ecessary co st involved in surveying all estab lishm ents. To obtain optim um a ccu ra cy at m inim um c o s t , a g rea ter p rop ortion of large than of sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data, how ever, a ll establishm ents are given their appropria te weight. E s tim ates based on the establishm ents studied are p resen ted , th ere fore , as relating to a ll establishm ents in the industry grouping and area, except fo r those below the m inim um s ize studied.

O ccupations and Earnings

The occupations se lected fo r study are com m on to a v arie ty of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in du str ies , and are of the fo llow ing types: (1) O ffice c le r ic a l ; (2) p ro fe ss io n a l and tech n ica l;(3) m aintenance and pow erplant; and (4) custod ia l and m a teria l m o v e ment. O ccupational c la ss ifica tio n is based on a uniform set of job descr ip tion s designed to take account of in terestablish m en t variation in duties within the sam e jo b . The occupations se lected fo r study are listed and d e scr ib e d in the appendix. Earnings data fo r som e of the occupations lis ted and d e scr ib e d 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 er it presen tation , o r (2) there is p o s s i b ility of d isc lo su re of individual establishm ent data.

O ccupational em ploym ent and earn ings data are shown fo r fu ll-t im e w o rk e rs , i .e . , those h ired to w ork a regu lar w eek ly schedule in the given occupational c la ss ifica tio n . Earnings data exclude p r e m ium pay fo r ov ertim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, h olidays, and late sh ifts. N onproduction bonuses are excluded , but c o s t -o f - l iv in g bonuses and incentive earnings are included. W here w eek ly hours are reported , as fo r o ffic e c le r ic a l occu pation s, r e fe re n ce is to the w ork schedules (rounded to the n earest half hour) fo r w hich stra igh t-tim e sa la ries are paid; average w eekly earnings fo r these occupations have been rounded to the n earest half do lla r .

The averages presented re fle ct com p osite , areaw ide estim ates. Industries and establishm ents d iffer in pay lev e l and job staffing and, thus, contribute d ifferen tly to the estim ates fo r each job . The pay relationsh ip obtainable fr o m the averages m ay fa il to r e fle ct accu ra te ly the wage spread or d ifferen tia l m aintained am ong job s in individual establishm ents. S im ilarly , d iffe re n ce s in average pay lev e ls fo r men and w om en in any of the se lected occupations should not be assum ed to r e fle c t d iffe ren ces in pay treatm ent of the sexes within individual e s tablishm ents. Other p o ss ib le fa c to rs w hich m ay contribute to d if fe r ences in pay fo r m en and w om en include: D ifferen ces in p ro g re ss io n within estab lished rate ranges, since only the actual rates paid in cum bents are co lle c te d ; and d iffe ren ces in sp e c ific duties perform ed , although the w ork ers are appropria te ly c la s s ifie d within the sam e su rvey jo b descr ip tion . Job descr ip tion s used in c la ss ify in g em ployees in these surveys are usually m ore gen era lized than those used in individual establishm ents and allow fo r m inor d ifferen ces am ong e s tablishm ents in the sp e c ific duties p erform ed .

O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates represen t the total in all establishm ents within the scope of the study and not the num ber actually surveyed . B ecau se of d iffe ren ces in occupational structure am ong e s tablishm ents, the estim ates of occupational em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple of establishm ents studied serv e only to indicate the relative im portan ce of the jo b s studied. These d iffe ren ces in occupational stru ctu re do not m a teria lly a ffect the a ccu ra cy of the earnings data.E stablishm ent P ra c tice s and Supplem entary Wage P rov is ion s

Tabulations on se lected establishm ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary wage p rov is ion s (B -s e r ie s tab les) are not presen ted in this bulletin . Inform ation fo r these tabulations is c o lle c te d biennia lly in this area . T hese tabulations on m inim um entrance sa la ries fo r in exp erien ced w om en o ffice w o rk e rs ; shift d ifferen tia ls ; scheduled w eekly h ours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans; are p resen ted (in the B -s e r ie s tables) in previous bu lletins fo r this area.

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups

P resen ted in table 2 are indexes and percen ta ges of change in average sa la ries of o ffic e c le r ic a l w o rk e rs and industria l n u rses , and in average earnings of se lected plant w ork er groups.

F or o ffic e c le r ic a l w ork ers and indu stria l n u rses , the p e r centages of change relate to average w eek ly sa la rie s fo r n orm al hours of w ork , that is , the standard w ork schedule fo r w hich stra igh t-tim e sa la ries are paid. F o r plant w ork er grou ps, they m easu re changes in average stra igh t-tim e h ourly earn ings, excluding prem iu m pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, h olidays , and late sh ifts. The percen tages are based on data fo r se le cted key occupations and in clude m ost of the n u m erica lly im portant jo b s within each group.

Office clerical (men and women):Bookkeeping-machine operators, class BCleiks, accounting, classes A and BClerks, file, classes A, B, and CClerks, orderClerks, payrollComptometer operatorsKeypunch operators, classes A and BOffice boys and girlsSecretariesStenographers, general Stenographers, senior Switchboard operators, classes A and B Tabulating-machine operators, class B Typists, 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 cleaners Laborers, material handling

A verage w eekly sa la rie s or average h ourly earnings w ere com puted fo r each of the se lected occu pation s. The average sa la ries or h ourly earnings w ere then m ultip lied by em ploym ent in each of the job s during the p er iod su rveyed in 1961. These w eighted earnings

fo r individual occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an aggregate fo r each occupational group. F in ally , the ratio (ex p ressed as a percentage) o f the group aggregate fo r the one year to the aggregate fo r the other year was com puted and the d ifferen ce betw een the resu lt and 100 is the percen tage of change fr o m the one p er iod to the other. The indexes w ere com puted by m ultiplying the ratios fo r each group aggregate fo r each p er iod after the base year (1961).

The indexes and p ercen ta ges of change m ea su re , p rin cip a lly , the e ffe cts of (1) general sa la ry and wage changes; (2) m erit or other in cre a se s in pay re ce iv e d by individual w ork ers while in the sam e job ; and (3) changes in average w ages due to changes in the labor fo r c e r e sulting fro m labor tu rn over, fo r c e expansions, fo r c e reductions, and changes in the proportion s of w ork ers em ployed by establishm ents with d ifferent pay le v e ls . Changes in the labor fo r c e can cause in cre a se s or d e cre a se s the occupational averages without actual wage changes. F or exam ple, a fo r c e expansion m ight in crea se the p roportion of low er paid w ork ers in a sp e c ific occupation and low er the average, w hereas a reduction in the proportion of low er paid w ork ers would have the opposite e ffect . S im ilarly , the m ovem ent of a h igh-paying e sta b lish m ent out of an area could cause the average earnings to drop, even though no change in rates o c cu rre d in other establishm ents in the area. Data are adjusted w here n e ce s sa ry to rem ove fro m the indexes and percen tages of change any sign ificant e ffe ct caused by changes in scope of the survey .

The use of constant em ploym ent w eights elim inates the e ffect of changes in the p rop ortion of w ork ers represen ted in each job in cluded in the data. The percen tages of change re fle ct only changes in average pay fo r stra igh t-tim e hours. They are not influenced by changes in standard w ork sch edu les, as such, or by prem ium pay fo r overtim e .

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions

The primary 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 of 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 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 economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.

The operation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of the bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine.

Biller, machine (bookkeeping machine). Uses a bookkeeping machine (Sundstrand, Elliott Fisher, Remington Rand, e t c ., which may or may not have typewriter keyboard) to prepare customers' bills as part of the accounts receivable operation. Generally involves the simultaneous entry of figures on customers' ledger record. The machine automatically accumulates figures on a number of vertical columns and computes, and usually prints automatically the debit or credit balances. Does not involve a knowledge of bookkeeping.
