P reface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual occupational wage surveys in metropolitan areas is d e signed to provide data on occupational earnings, and establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions. It yields detailed data by selected industry divisions for each of the areas studied, for geographic regions, and for the United States. A m ajor consideration in the program is the need for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level, and (Z) the structure and level of wages among areas and industry divisions.

At the end of each survey, an individual area bulletin presents survey results for each area studied. After completion of all of the individual area bulletins for a round of surveys, a two-part summary bulletin is issued. The first part brings data for each of the metropolitan areas studied into one bulletin. The second part presents information which has been projected from individual m e t ropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and the United States.

E ig hty -s ix areas currently are included in the program . Information on occupational earnings is collected annually in each area. Information on establishment pra c tices and supplementary wage provisions is obtained biennially in m ost of the areas.

This bulletin presents results of the survey in Canton, Ohio, in April 1967. The Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea , as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through April 1966, consists of Stark County. This study was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Cleveland, Ohio, John W. Lehman, Director; by Alfred Veit, under the direction of Edward Chaiken. The study was under the general direction of Elliott A. Browar, Assistant Regional Director for Wages and Industrial Relations.

Area Wage Survey----

The Canton, Ohio, Metropolitan Area

Introduction

This area is 1 of 86 in which the U.S. Department of Labor’ s Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits on an areawide basis .

This bulletin presents current occupational employment and earnings information obtained largely by mail from the establishments visited by Bureau field economists in the last previous survey for occupations reported in that earlier study. Personal visits were made to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes since the previous survey.

In each area, data are obtained from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; tra n s portation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services . Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government opera tions and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishments. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of sm all establishments is studied. In combining the data, however, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s timates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area, except for those below the minimum size studied.

Occupations and Earnings

The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: ( l ) Office c lerical ; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material movement. O c cupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. The occupations selected for study are listed and described in the appendix. 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 occupations, are not presented in the A -s e r i e s tables because either (l) employment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual e s tablishment data.

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e workers, i .e . , those hired to work a regular weekly schedule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude p re mium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office c lerical occupations, reference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar.

The averages presented reflect composite, areawide est i mates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing and, thus, contribute differently to the estimates for each job. The pay relationship obtainable from the averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage spread or differential maintained among jobs in individual establishments. Similarly, differences in average pay levels for men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay treatment of the sexes within individual establishments. Other possible factors which may contribute to differences in pay for men and women include: Differences inprogression within established rate ranges, since only the actual rates paid incumbents are collected; and differences in specific duties p e r formed, although the workers are appropriately classified within the same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying e m ployees in these surveys are usually m ore generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in the specific duties performed.

Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the number a c tually surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure among establishments, the estimates of occupational employment ob tained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not materially affect the accuracy of the earnings data.

Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions

Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions (B -s e r ie s tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Information for these tabulations is collected biennially in this area. These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced women office workers; shift differentials; scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the B -s e r ie s tables) in previous bulletins for this area.

1 The Canton Standard Me tropolitan Statistical A r e a , as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through April 1966, consis ts of Stark County. The "w ork ers within scope of study" es tim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other em ploymen t indexes for the area to m e a su r e em ploymen t trends or levels since ( 1 ) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data com piled c onsid erably in advance of the pay roll period studied, and ( 2 ) sm a l l establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

2 The 1957 revis ed edition of the Standard Industrial Classif icat ion Manual and the 1963 Supplement were used in c la ssifying es tablish m en ts by industry division.

3 Includes all es tablish men ts with total em ployment at or above the m in im u m limitation. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as tra de , finance, auto repair se r v ic e , and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.

4 Includes all w orkers in all es tablishments with total em ployment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation.5 Taxicabs and se rv ic e s incidental to water transportation were excluded.6 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a l l in du strie s " and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables . Separate presentation

of data for this division is not made for one or m o re of the following reaso ns: (1) Employm ent in the division is too sm a l l to provide enough data to m e r i t separate study, (2) the sam ple was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is poss ibili ty of d isclosure of individual establishment data.

7 Hotels; person al s e r v ic e s ; business s e r v ic e s ; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit mem bersh ip organizat ions (excluding rel igious and charitable organization s) ; and engineering and architectural se rv ic e s .

About four- f if th s of the workers within scope of the survey in the Canton area were employed in manufacturing f i r m s . The following table presents the m ajor industry groups and specif ic industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups

Presented in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change in average sa laries of office clerical workers and industrial nurses, and in average earnings of selected plant worker groups. The indexes are a m easure of wages at a given time, expressed as a percent of wages during the base period (date of the area survey conducted between July I960 and June 1961). Subtracting 100 from the index yields the percentage change in wages from the base period to the date of the index. The percentages of change or increase relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. These estimates are m easures of change in averages for the area; they are not intended to m easure average pay changes in the establishments in the area.

Method of Computing

Each of the selected key occupations within an occupational group was assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment

in the occupational group. These constant weights reflect base year employments wherever possible. The average (mean) earnings for each occupation were multiplied by the occupation weight, and the products for all occupations in the group were totaled. The aggregates for 2 consecutive years were related by dividing the aggregate for the later year by the aggregate for the earlier year. The resultant relative, le ss 100 percent, shows the percentage change. The index is the product of multiplying the base year relative (100) by the relative for the next succeeding year and continuing to multiply (compound) each year 's relative by the previous y ea r 's index. Average earnings for the following occupations were used in computing the wage trends:

Office clerical (men and women): Bookkeeping-machine operators,

class BClerks, accounting, classes

A and BClerks, file, classes

A, B, and C Clerks, order Clerks, payroll Comptometer operators Keypunch operators, classes

1 Unless otherwise indicated, all changes are increases.2 This decline largely reflects employee turnover within and between high- and low-wage establishments rather than wage decreases.


4

For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the wage trends relate to weekly salaries for the normal workweek, exclusive of earnings at overtime premium rates. For plant worker groups, they m easure changes in average straight-time hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The percentages are based on data for selected key occupations and include most of the numerically important jobs within each group.

Limitations of Data

The indexes and percentages of change, as m easures of change in area averages, are influenced by: (l) general salary andwage changes, (2) merit or other increases in pay received by individual workers while in the same job, and (3) changes in average wages due to changes in the labor force resulting from labor turnover, force expansions, force reductions, and changes in the proportions of workers employed by establishments with different pay levels .

Changes in the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable that even though all establishments in an area gave wage in creases , average wages may have declined because lower-paying establishments entered the area or expanded their work fo rces . Sim ilarly, wages may have remained relatively constant, yet the averages for an area may have risen considerably because higher-paying establishments entered the area.

The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effect of changes in the proportion of w orkers represented in each job included in the data. The percentages of change reflect only changes in average pay for straight-time hours. They are not influenced by changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by prem ium pay for overtime. Data were adjusted where necessary to remove from the indexes and percentages of change any significant effect caused by changes in the scope of the survey.

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 o f 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.
