Preface

The Bureau o f Labor Statistics program of annual occupa­tional wage surveys in m etropolitan areas is designed to provide data on occupational earnings, and establishment practices and supple­m entary wage provisions. It y ields detailed data by selected industry division fo r each o f the areas studied, fo r geographic regions, and for the United States. A m ajor consideration in the program is the need fo r grea ter insight into (1) the m ovement o f wages by occupational category and sk ill leve l, and (2) the structure and le v e l o f wages among areas and industry divisions.

At the end o f each survey, an individual area bulletin p re ­sents the results. A fter com pletion o f a ll individual area bulletins fo r a round o f surveys, two summary bulletins are issued. The firs t brings data fo r each o f the m etropolitan areas studied into one bulletin. The second presents in form ation which has been projected from indi­vidual m etropolitan area data to re la te to geographic regions and the United States.

N inety-four areas currently are included in the program . In each area, in form ation on occupational earnings is collected annually and on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions biennially.

This bulletin presents results o f the survey in Cincinnati, Ohio—K y —Ind., in February 1972. The Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea , as defined by the O ffice o f Management and Budget (fo rm erly the Bureau o f the Budget) through January 1968, consists o f C lerm ont, Hamilton, and W arren Counties, Ohio; Boone, Campbell, and Kenton Counties, Ky.; and Dearborn County, Ind. This study was conducted by the Bureau's regional o ffice in Chicago, 111., under the general d irection o f Lo is L . O rr, Assistant Regional D irector fo r Operations.

N o te :

Sim ilar reports are available fo r other areas. (See inside back cover.)

A current report on occupational earnings in the Cincinnati area is also availab le fo r selected laundry and dry cleaning oc ­cupations. Union wage rates, indicative o f p reva iling pay leve ls , are availab le fo r building construction; printing; local-transit op­erating em ployees; loca l truckdrivers and helpers; and grocery store em ployees.

Introduction

This area is 1 of 94 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits on an areawide bas is .1

This bulletin presents current occupational employment and earnings information obtained la rge ly by m ail from the establishments visited by Bureau fie ld economists in the last previous survey for occupations reported in that e a r lie r study. Personal v is its 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; trans­portation, communication, and other public u tilities; wholesale trade; re ta il trade; finance, insurance, and rea l estate; and serv ices . M ajor industry groups excluded from these studies are government opera­tions and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having few er than a prescribed number of w orkers 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 m eet publication criter ia .

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying a ll 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, a ll establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s ­timates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as relating to a ll establishments in the industry grouping and area, except fo r those below the minimum size studied.

Occupations and Earnings

The occupations selected fo r study are common to a va rie ty of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the follow ing types: (1) O ffice c le r ica l; (2) professional and technical;(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m ateria l m ove­ment. Occupational c lassification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishm ent variation in duties within the same job. The occupations selected fo r study are listed and described in the appendix. Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data follow ing the job titles are for a ll industries com ­

1 Included in the 94 areas are eight studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Binghamton, N .Y . (New York portion only); Durham, N. C . ; Fort Lauderdale—Hollywood and West Palm Beach, F la .; Huntsville, A la .; Poughkeepsie—Kingston—Newburgh, N .Y . ; Rochester, N .Y . (o ffice occupations only); Syracuse, N. Y . ; and Utica—Rome, N .Y . In addition the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies in 64 areas at the request o f the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.

bined. 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 ie s tables, because either (1) employment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is possib ility of d isclosure of individual establishment data. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in the overa ll c lassification when a subclassification of secretaries or truck- d rivers is not shown or information to subclassify is not available.

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w orkers, i.e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are ex ­cluded, but cost-o f- liv in g allowances and incentive earnings are in­cluded. Where weekly hours are reported, as for o ffice c ler ica l occupations, re ference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees rece ive their regular straight- time sa laries (exclusive of pay for overtim e at regular and/or p re ­mium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar.

These surveys measure the leve l of occupational earnings in an area at a particu lar time. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over time may not re flec t 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 firm s 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. Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table 2, are better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups.

The averages presented re flec t composite, areawide es ti­mates. Industries and establishments d iffe r in pay leve l and job staffing and, thus, contribute d ifferen tly to the estimates for each job. The pay relationship obtainable from the averages may fa il to re flect accurately the wage spread or d ifferen tia l maintained among jobs in individual establishments. S im ilarly , d ifferences in average pay levels for men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be assumed to re flec t d ifferences in pay treatment of the sexes within individual establishments. Other possible factors which may con­tribute to d ifferences in pay fo r men and women include: D ifferencesin progression within established rate ranges, since only the actual rates paid incumbents are collected; and d ifferences in specific duties perform ed, although the workers are c lassified appropriately within the same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying

em ployees in these surveys are usually m ore genera lized than those used in individual establishments and allow fo r m inor d ifferences among establishments in the specific duties perform ed.

Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in a ll establishments within the scope o f the study and not the number actu­a lly surveyed. Because of d ifferences in occupational structure among establishments, the estimates o f occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance o f the jobs studied. These d ifferences in occupational structure do not a ffect m a teria lly the accuracy of the earnings data.

Establishment P rac tices and Supplementary Wage P rov is ion s

Tabulations on selected establishment p ractices and supple­m entary wage provisions (B -s e r ie s tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Inform ation fo r these tabulations is collected biennially. These tabulations on minimum entrance sa laries fo r inexperienced women o fficew orker s; shift d ifferen tia ls ; scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the B -se r ie s tables) in previous bulletins fo r this area.

1 The Cincinnati Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea , as defined by the O ffice of Management and Budget (fo rm erly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of C lerm ont, Hamilton, and W arren Counties, Ohio; Boone, Campbell, and Kenton Counties, Ky.; and Dearborn County, Ind. The "w orkers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the s ize and composition of the labor fo rce included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other employment indexes fo r the area to measure employment trends or leve ls since (1) planning of wage surveys requ ires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classify ing establishments by industry division.3 Includes a ll establishments with total employment at or above the minimum lim itation. A l l outlets (within the area) o f companies in such

industries as trade, finance, auto repair serv ice , and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.4 Includes a ll w orkers in a ll establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum lim itation.5 Abbreviated to "public u tilitie s " in the A -s e r ie s tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.6 This industry division is represented in estim ates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation

of data fo r this divis ion is not made fo r one or m ore of the follow ing reasons: (1) Employment in the d ivision is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed in itia lly to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possib ility of d isclosure of individual establishment data.

7 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal serv ices ; business serv ices ; automobile repa ir, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services .

A lm ost three-fifth s of the workers within scope of the survey in the Cincinnati area w ere employed in manufacturing firm s. The follow ing presents the m ajor industry groups and specific industries as a percent o f a ll manufacturing:

W ag e T ren d s for S e lec ted O ccupational G roups

Presen ted in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change in average salaries of o ffice c le r ica l w orkers and industrial nurses, and in average earnings of selected plantworker groups. The indexes are a measure of wages at a given tim e, expressed as a percent of wages during the base period. 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. Annual rates of increase, where shown, re flec t the amount of increase fo r 12 months when the time period between surveys was other than 12 months. These computations w ere based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant rate between surveys. These estim ates are m easures of change in a v e r ­ages for the area; they are not intended to measure average pay changes in the establishments in the area.

Method of Computing

Each of the follow ing key occupations within an occupational group was assigned a constant weight based on its proportionate em ­ployment in the occupational group;

Office clerical (men and women): Bookkeeping-machine

operators, class B Clerks, accounting, classes

A and BClerks, f ile , classes

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

A and BOffice boys and girls

Office clerical (men and women)— Continued

SecretariesStenographers, general Stenographers, senior Switchboard operators, classes

A and BTabulating-machine operators,

class BTypists, 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

The average (mean) earnings for each occupation w ere m ulti­p lied by the occupational weight, and the products for a ll occupations in the group w ere totaled. The aggregates fo r 2 consecutive years w ere related by dividing the aggregate fo r the later year by the a ggre­gate fo r the ea r lie r year. The resultant re la tive , less 100 percent,

shows the percentage change. The index is the product of multiplying the base year re la tive (100) by the re la tive fo r the next succeeding year and continuing to m ultiply (compound) each yea r 's re la tive by the previous year 's index.

F or o ffice c le r ica l w orkers and industrial nurses, the wage trends relate to regu lar weekly salaries fo r the norm al workweek, exclusive of earnings for overtim e. F o r plantworker groups, they m easure changes in average straight-tim e hourly earnings, excluding prem ium pay fo r overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The percentages are based on data fo r selected key occu­pations and include most of the num erically important jobs within each group.

Lim itations of Data

The indexes and percentages of change, as m easures of change in area averages, are influenced by: ( l ) genera l salary andwage changes, (2) m erit or other increases in pay rece ived by indi­vidual w orkers 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 p ropor­tions of w orkers employed by establishments with d ifferent pay leve ls . Changes in the labor fo rce can cause increases or decreases in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable that even though a ll establishments in an area gave wage increases, average wages may have declined because lower-paying establishments entered the area or expanded their work forces . S im ilarly , wages may have remained re la tive ly constant, yet the averages for an area may have risen considerably because h igher-paying establishments entered the area.

The use of constant employment weights elim inates the e ffect of changes in the proportion of w orkers represented in each job in ­cluded in the data. The percentages of change re flec t only changes in average pay fo r straight-tim e hours. They are not influenced by changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by prem ium pay fo r overtim e. Where necessary, data w ere adjusted to rem ove from the indexes and percentages of change any significant effect caused by changes in the scope of the survey.

The prim ary purpose o f preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its fie ld staff in classify ing into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a varie ty o f payroll titles and d ifferent work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This perm its the grouping o f occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and in terarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may d iffe r significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared fo r other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's fie ld econom ists are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; tra inees; and handicapped, part-tim e, tem porary, and probationary workers.

At this leve l, program ing is d ifficu lt because computer equipment must be organized to produce severa l in terrelated but d iverse products from numerous and d iverse data elements. A wide variety and extensive number of internal processing actions must occur. This requires such actions as development of common operations which can be reused, establishment of linkage points between operations, adjustments to data when program requirements exceed computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and re sequencing of data elements to form a highly integrated program .

May provide functional d irection to lower leve l program ers who are assigned to assist.

Class B . Works independently o r under only general direction on re la tive ly simple program s, or on simple segments o f complex program s. Program s (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or form ats. Reports and listings are produced by refining, adapting, arraying, or making m inor additions to or deletions from input data which are read ily available. While numerous records may be processed, the data have been refined in p rior actions so that the accuracy and sequencing of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typ ica lly, the program deals with routine record-keeping type operations.

OR

Works on complex program s (as described fo r class A ) under close d irection of a higher leve l program er or supervisor. May assist higher leve l program er by independently p e r­form ing less d ifficu lt tasks assigned, and perform ing m ore difficu lt tasks under fa ir ly close direction.
