Introduction

This a rea is 1 of 72 in which the U.S. Department of L a b o r 's Bureau of L a b o r Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and re la ted benefits . (See l is t of areas on inside back c o v e r . ) In each area , earnings data f o r se lec ted occupations (A - s e r i e s tab les ) are co l lec ted annually. In form ation on estab lishment p ract ices and supplementary wage benefits (B - s e r i e s tab les ) is obtained e v e r y third year. This repo rt has no B - s e r ie s tables.

Each y ea r a fte r a l l individual a rea wage surveys have been c o m pleted, two sum m ary bulletins a re issued. The f i r s t brings together data fo r each m etropo litan a rea surveyed; the second presents national and reg iona l es t im a tes , p ro jec ted f r o m individual m etropo litan area data, for a l l Standard M etropo l i tan S tatis t ica l A r e a s in the United States, excluding A laska and Hawaii.

A m a jo r consideration in the a rea wage survey p ro gram is the need to d escr ibe the l e v e l and m ovem ent of wages in a v a r ie t y of labor m arkets , through the analys is of (1) the le v e l and d istr ibution o f wages by occupation, and (2) the m ovem ent of wages by occupational ca tego ry and skil l le ve l . The p ro gram develops in fo rm ation that m ay be used fo r many purposes, including wage and sa la ry adm inis trat ion , c o l le c t iv e bargaining, and assistance in determ in ing plant location. Survey resu lts a lso a re used by the U.S. D ep a r t ment o f Lab o r to make wage determ inat ions under the S e rv ic e Contract A c t of 1965.

Appendix A . Scope and Method of Survey

In each o f the 72 1 areas curren t ly surveyed, the Bureau obtains wages and rela ted benefits data f ro m rep resen ta t ive establishments within s ix broad industry d iv is ions ; Manufacturing; transportat ion, communication, and other public u t i l i t ies ; w ho lesa le trade; r e ta i l trade; f inance, insurance, and r ea l estate; and s e r v ic e s . Governm ent operations and the construction and ex trac t ive industr ies are excluded. Establishments having few e r than a p resc r ib ed number of w o rk e rs are also excluded because o f insuffic ient employm ent in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number o f establishments and w o rk e rs est im ated to be within the scope of this survey, as w e l l as the number actually studied.

Bureau f ie ld rep resen ta t ives obtain data by persona l v is i ts at 3 - year in terva ls . In each o f the two interven ing y ea rs , in fo rm ation on em ploym ent and occupational earnings only is co l lec ted by a combination o f persona l v is it , m a i l questionna ire , and telephone in terv iew f rom estab lishments part ic ipating in the p rev ious survey .

A sam ple o f the estab lishm ents in the scope of the su rvey is se lec ted fo r study p r io r to each persona l v is i t survey . Th is sam ple, le ss establishm ents which go out o f business o r are no lon ger within the industr ia l scope o f the survey , is reta ined f o r the fo l low ing two annual surveys . In m ost cases, estab lishm ents new to the a rea are not cons idered in the scope o f the su rvey until the se lec t ion o f a sam ple fo r a p e rson a l v is i t survey .

The sam pling p rocedures invo lve deta i led s tra t i f ica t ion o f all establ ishments within the scope of an individual a rea su rvey by industry and number o f em p loyees . F ro m this s tra t i f ied un ive rse a p robab i l i ty sample is se lec ted , with each estab lishm ent having a p rede te rm in ed chance o f s e lect ion . T o obtain optimum accuracy at m in im um cost, a g re a te r proport ion o f la r g e than sm a ll estab lishments is se lec ted . When data are combined, each estab lishm ent is weighted accord ing to its p robab i l i ty o f se lec t ion so that unbiased es t im ates are generated . F o r exam ple, i f one out o f four estab lishments is se lec ted , it is g iven a w e igh t o f 4 to r ep resen t i ts e l f plus three o thers . An a lternate o f the sam e o r ig ina l p robab i l i ty is chosen in the same in d u s try -s iz e c la ss i f ic a t io n i f data are not availab le f ro m the o r ig in a l sam ple m em b e r . I f no suitable substitute is ava ilab le , additional we ight is assigned to a sam ple m em b e r that is s im i la r to the m iss in g unit.

Occupations and earnings

Occupations se lec ted fo r study are com m on to a va r ie t y o f m anufacturing 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 technical; (3) maintenance, to o lroom ,

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 approximately 100 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration o f the U. S. Department of Labor.

and powerplant; and (4) m a te r ia l m ovem en t 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 interestablishment var ia t ion in duties within the same job. Occupations selected fo r study are l is ted and descr ibed in appendix B.

Unless otherw ise indicated, the earnings data fo l low ing the job tit les are fo r all industries combined. Earn ings data fo r some of the occupations l is ted and descr ibed , or fo r som e industry d iv is ions within the scope o f the survey, are not presented in the A - s e r i e s tables 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 lo su re of individual estab lishment data. Separate m en 's and w om en 's earnings data are not presented when the number of w o rk e rs not identif ied by sex is 20 percent or m o r e o f the men or women identif ied in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separate ly fo r industry d iv is ions are included in data for all industries combined. L ikew ise , fo r occupations with m o r e than one le v e l , data are included in the ove ra l l c lass i f ica t ion when a subc lassif ica t ion is not shown o r information to subc lass ify is not ava ilab le .

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown fo r fu l l - t im e w o rk e rs , i .e . , those hired to w ork a regu la r w eek ly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay fo r o v e r t im e and f o r w o rk on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t -o f - l i v in g allowances and incentive bonuses are included. W eek ly hours fo r o f f ic e c le r ic a l and p ro fess iona l and techn ica l occupations r e f e r to the standard w orkw eek (rounded to the nearest ha lf hour) f o r which em ployees r e c e iv e regu la r s tra igh t-t im e sa lar ies (ex c lu s iv e o f pay fo r o v e r t im e at regu lar and/or prem ium rates ). A v e ra g e w eek ly earn ings fo r these occupations are rounded to the neares t half do l lar . V e r t ic a l l ines within the distribution of w o rk e rs on some A -ta b les indicate a change in the s ize o f the c lass in terva ls .

These surveys m easure the l e v e l o f occupational earnings in an a rea at a par t icu lar t ime. Com parisons o f individual occupational averages o v e r t im e m ay not r e f le c t expected wage changes. The ave rages f o r individual jobs are a ffected by changes in wages and em ploym ent patterns. F o r example, proport ions o f w orkers employed by high- or lo w -w a g e f i rm s m ay change, o r h igh-wage w o rkers m ay advance to be tter jobs and be rep laced by new w o rk e rs at low er ra tes . Such shifts in em p loym ent could d e c rea se an occupational average even though m ost estab lishm ents in an area inc rease wages during the year. Changes in earnings o f occupational groups, shown in table A - 7, are better indicators of wage trends than are earnings changes fo r individual jobs within the groups.

A v e ra g e earnings r e f le c t com pos ite , a reaw ide est im ates . Industries and establishments d i f fe r in pay l e v e l and job staff ing, and thus contribute d i f fe r en t ly to the estimates fo r each job . P a y ave ra ges m ay fa i l to r e f le c t accurate ly the wage d i f fe ren t ia l among jobs in individual estab lishm ents.


A v e r a g e pay l e v e ls f o r men and women in se lec ted occupations should not be assum ed to r e f l e c t d i f fe rences in pay of the sexes within individual estab lishm ents . F a c to r s which m ay contribute to d i f fe rences include p r o g re s s io n within es tab lished rate ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are co l le c ted ) and p e r fo rm a n ce of spec if ic duties within the genera l survey job descr ip t ions. Job desc r ip t ion s used to c la ss i fy employees in these surveys usually a re m o r e g en e ra l i z ed than those used in individual establishments and a l low fo r m inor d i f fe ren ces among establishments in spec i f ic duties p e r fo rm ed .

Occupational em p loym ent estimates represen t the total in a l l e s tab lishm ents within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational s tructures among establishments d i f fe r , es t im ates of occupational em p loym ent obtained f ro m the sample of estab lishments studied s e r v e only to ind icate the r e la t iv e importance of the jobs studied. These d i f fe ren ces in occupational s tructure do not a ffect m a te r ia l ly the accuracy of the earn ings data.

W age trends f o r se lec ted occupational groups

The p ercen t in c rea ses presented in table A -7 a re based on changes in a v e ra ge hourly earn ings o f m en and women in establishments report ing the trend jobs in both the cu rren t and previous year (matched establishments). The data a re adjusted to r em o v e the e f fec ts on average earnings o f em p lo y ment shifts among estab lishm ents and turnover of estab lishments included in su rvey sam ples . The percen t inc reases , however, a re s t i l l a f fected by fac to rs other than wage in c reases . H ir ings , layo f fs , and turnover m ay a f fect an es tab lishm ent a v e ra g e fo r an occupation when w orkers a re paid under plans prov id ing a range o f w age rates fo r individual jobs. In periods of increased h ir ing , fo r exam p le , new em ployees m ay enter at the bottom of the range, depress in g the a v e ra g e without a change in wage rates.

The p ercen t 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 rates a re a lso shown. ( I t is assum ed that wages increase at a constant rate between su rvey s . )

P e rcen t changes for individual areas in the p rogram are computed as fo l lows:

1. A v e ra g e earnings are computed fo r each occupation for the 2 yea rs being compared. The averages are derived f r o m earnings in those establishments which are in the su rvey both yea rs ; it is assumed that employment remains unchanged.

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

3. T h ese weights a re used to compute group averages.Each occupation's average earnings (computed in step 1) is m ult ip l ied by its weight. The products a re totaled to obtain a group average .

4. The ratio of group averages fo r 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the average fo r the current year by the a ve ra ge fo r the e a r l ie r year. The resu lt— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change.

F o r a m ore detailed descr ip t ion of the method used to compute these wage trends, see " Im p rov in g A re a Wage Survey Indexes ," Monthly Labor R ev iew , January 1973, pp. 52-57.

A v e ra g e pay relationships within establishments

R e la t iv e m easures of occupational pay are presented in table A -8 fo r w h ite -co l la r occupations and in table A - 9 for b lue-co l la r occupations. These re la t ive values r e f le c t d i f fe rences in pay between occupations within individual establishments. R e la t ive pay values are computed by dividing an estab lishm ent's a ve ra ge earnings fo r an occupation being com pared by the a ve ra ge fo r another occupation (designated as 100) and multiplying the quotient by 100. F o r exam ple, i f jan itors in a f i r m average $4 an hour and fork l i f t opera tors $5, fo rk l i f t operators have a r e la t ive pay value of 125 compared with jan itors . ($5 4- $4 = 1.25, x 100 = 125.) In combining the re la t ives of the individual establishments to a r r iv e at an ove ra l l average , each estab lishment is considered to have as many re la t ives as it has weighted w orkers in the two jobs being compared.

Pay relationships based on o v e ra l l a verages m ay d i f fe r considerably because of the vary in g contribution of high- and low -w age establishments to the ave rages . F o r exam ple, the o v e ra l l ave rage hourly earnings for fo rk l i f t operators m ay be 50 percent m ore than the ave rage fo r janitors because the ave ra ge fo r fo rk l i f t operators m ay be s trongly influenced by earnings in h igh-wage establishments while the ave rage for jan itors may be strongly influenced by earnings in low -w age establishments. In such a case, the in tra -es tab l ishm ent relationship w i l l indicate a much sm a ller d i f ference in earnings.

Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions

Tabulations on se lec ted establishment pract ices and supplementary wage prov is ions (B - s e r i e s tab les ) are not presented in this bulletin. In fo rm ation for these tabulations is co l lec ted at 3 -yea r in terva ls . These tabulations on m in im um entrance sa la r ies for inexper ienced o f f ice workers ; shift d i f f e r entia ls; s heduled w eek ly hours and days; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the B - s e r ie s tables) in prev ious bulletins fo r this area.Digitized for FRASER

1 The San Jose Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea , as defined by the O ffice of Management and Budget through February 1974, consists of Santa Clara County. The "w ork ers within scope o f study" estim ates provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor fo rce included in the survey. Estim ates are not intended, however, for comparison with other statistical ser ies to measure employment trends or leve ls since (1 ) planning of wage surveys requires establishment data com piled considerably in advance o f the payroll period studied, and (2 ) sm all establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

1 The 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division. A ll government operations are excluded from the scope of the survey.

3 Includes a ll establishments with total employment at or above the minimum lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area ) o f companies in industries such as trade,

finance, auto repair serv ice , and motion picture theaters are considered as one establishment.

4 Includes a ll workers in a ll establishments with total employment (within the area ) at or above the minimum limitation.

5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A -s e r ie s tables. Taxicabs and serv ices incidental to water transportation are excluded.

6 Separate data for this dividion are not presented in the A - and B -se r ies tables, but the d ivision is represented in the "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" estim ates.

7 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal serv ices ; business serv ices ; automobile repa ir, rental, and parking; motion p ictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organ izations); and engineering and arch itectural services .


Appendix B.OccupationalDescriptions

The p r im a r y purpose of prepar ing job descriptions fo r the Bureau 's wage surveys is to ass is t its f ie ld represen ta t ives in c lass ify ing inro appropriate occupations w o rk e rs who are employed under a va r ie ty o f p a y ro l l t i t le s and d if fe ren t work arrangements from establishment to estab lishm ent and f r o m a rea to area. This perm its grouping occupational wage ra tes rep resen t in g com parable job content.
