Introduction

This area is 1 o f 72 in w hich the U.S. D epartm ent of L a b o r 's Bureau o f L abor Statistics conducts surveys o f 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 lle cted annually. In form ation on establishm ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary wage benefits (B -s e r ie s tab les) is obtained ev ery third year. This rep ort had no B -s e r ie s tab les.

Each year after a ll individual area wage surveys have been c o m pleted , two sum m ary bulletins are issued . The fir s t brings together data fo r each m etropolitan area surveyed; the second presen ts national and region al estim a tes , p ro je cted fro m individual m etropolitan area data, for a ll Standard M etropolitan S tatistica l 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 le v e l and m ovem ent o f w ages in a varie ty of labor m arkets, through the analysis o f (1) the lev e l and d istribution o f w ages by occupation , and (2) the m ovem ent o f w ages by occupational ca teg ory and sk ill level. The p rogram develops in form ation that m ay be used fo r many pu rp oses, including w age and sa lary adm in istration , co lle c t iv e bargaining, and assista n ce 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 e rv ice C ontract A ct o f 1965.

Appendix A .Scope and Method of Survey

In each o f the 72 1 areas cu rren tly surveyed , the Bureau obtains w ages and related ben efits data from representative establishm ents within s ix broad industry d iv is ion s : M anufacturing; transportation , com m unication ,and other public u tilities ; w h olesa le trade; reta il trade; finance, insurance, and read estate; and s e r v ic e s . G overnm ent operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded . Establishm ents having few er than a p re scr ib e d num ber o f w ork ers are also excluded becau se o f insufficient em ploym ent in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the num ber o f establishm ents and w ork ers estim ated to be within the scope o f this survey, as w ell as the num ber actually studied.

Bureau fie ld rep resen tatives obtain data by person a l v isits at 3 - year in terva ls. In each o f the two intervening y ears , in form ation on em ploym ent and occupational earn ings on ly is c o lle c te d by a com bination o f person a l v isit, m a il qu estionnaire, and telephone in terview from establishm ents participating in the previous su rvey .

A sam ple o f the establishm ents in the scope o f the su rvey is se lected fo r study p r io r to each p erson a l v is it su rvey . This sam ple, le s s establishm ents w hich go out o f bu siness o r are no lon ger within the industrial scope o f the su rvey , is retained fo r the follow ing two annual su rveys. In m ost ca se s , establishm ents new to the area are not con s id ered in the scope o f the su rvey until the se lection o f a sam ple fo r a p erson a l v isit su rvey .

The sam pling p roced u res involve detailed stra tifica tion o f all establishm ents within the scop e o f an individual area su rvey by industry and num ber o f em p loyees . F ro m this stra tified u n iverse a probability sam ple is se lected , with each establishm ent having a p redeterm in ed chance o f se lection . T o obtain optim um accu ra cy at m inim um co s t , a g rea ter proportion o f la rge than sm all establishm ents is se le cted . When data are com bined, each establishm ent is w eighted accord in g to its probability o f se lection so that unbiased estim ates are generated . F o r exam ple, if one out o f four establishm ents is se le cted , it is g iven a w eight o f 4 to rep resen t itse lf plus three oth ers. An alternate o f the sam e or ig in a l p robab ility is chosen in the sam e in d u stry -s ize c la s s ifica tio n if data are not available from the or ig in a l sam ple m e m b e r . If no suitable substitute is availab le, additional w eight is assigned to a sam ple m em b er that is s im ila r to the m issin g unit.O ccupations and earnings

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 o f the Employment Standards Administration o f the U. S. Department of Labor.

and powerplant; and (4) m ateria l m ovem ent arid custod ia l. O ccupational c la ss ifica tio n is based on a uniform set o f jo b descr ip tion s designed to take account o f interestablishm ent variation in duties within the sam e job . O ccupations selected fo r study are lis ted and d e scr ib e d in appendix B.

U nless otherw ise indicated, the earnings data fo llow ing the job titles are fo r all industries com bined . Earnings data fo r som e o f the occupations listed and descr ibed , or fo r som e industry d iv isions within the scope o f the survey, are not p resen ted in the A -s e r ie s tables because either (1) em ploym ent in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m e r it presentation, or (2) there is p o ss ib ility o f d is c lo su re o f individual establishm ent data. Separate m en 's and w om en 's earnings data are not presented when the number o f w ork ers not identified by sex is 20 percen t o r m o re o f the m en or wom en identified in an occu pation . Earnings data not shown separately fo r industry d iv is ion s are included in data fo r all industries com bined. L ikew ise, fo r occupations with m o re than one lev e l, data are included in the overa ll c la ss ifica tio n when a su bcla ss ifica tion is not shown o r inform ation to su b c la ss ify is not availab le.

O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r fu ll-tim e w ork ers , i .e . , those h ired to w ork a regu lar w eekly schedule . Earnings data exclude prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, holidays, and late sh ifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t -o f- l iv in g allow ances and incentive bonuses are included. W eekly hours fo r o ffice c le r ica l and profess ion a l and tech n ica l occu pation s r e fe r to the standard w orkw eek (rounded to the nearest h alf hour) fo r w hich em ployees re ce iv e regu lar stra ight-tim e sa laries (e x clu sive o f pay fo r ov ertim e at regular an d /or prem ium rates). A verage w eek ly earnings fo r these occupations are rounded to the neareat half d o lla r . V e rtica l lin es within the d istribution o f w ork ers on som e A -tab les indicate a change in the s ize o f the c la ss in terva ls.

T h ese surveys m easu re the le v e l o f occupational earnings in an area at a p a rticu lar tim e. C om parisons o f individual occupational averages ov er tim e m ay not r e fle ct expected wage changes. The averages fo r individual job s are affected by changes in w ages and em ploym ent patterns. F o r exam ple, p roportion s o f w ork ers em ployed by high- o r low -w age firm s m ay change, o r h igh-w age w ork ers m ay advance to better jo b s and be rep laced by new w ork ers at low er rates . Such shifts in em ploym ent cou ld d e cre a se an o c cu pational average even though m ost estab lishm ents in an area in crea se w ages during the year. Changes in earnings o f occupational grou ps, shown in table A - 7, are better indicators of w age trends than are earnings changes fo r individual job s within the groups.

A verage earnings re fle ct com p os ite , areaw ide estim a tes . Industries and establishm ents d iffer in pay le v e l and job staffing, and thus contribute d ifferen tly to the estim ates fo r each jo b . P ay averages m ay fa il to r e fle c t a ccu rate ly the wage d ifferentia l among jo b s in individual establishm ents.


A vera ge pay lev e ls fo r m en and w om en in se lected occupations should not be assu m ed to r e f le c t d ifferen ces in pay o f the sexes within individual estab lishm ents. F a cto rs w hich may contribute to d ifferen ces include p r o g re s s io n within estab lish ed rate ranges (only the rates paid incum bents are co lle c te d ) and p er form a n ce of sp ecific duties within the general su rvey job d e scr ip tio n s . Job d escr ip tion s used to c la s s ify em ployees in these surveys usually are m o re gen era lized than those used in individual establishm ents and a llow fo r m in or d iffe ren ces among establishm ents in sp e cific duties p er form ed .

O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates represent the total in a ll estab lishm ents within the scop e of the study and not the number actually surveyed. B ecau se occu pation al stru ctu res among establishm ents d iffe r , estim ates of occu pation al em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple of establishm ents studied se rv e only to ind icate the re la tive im portance of the job s studied. These d iffe re n ce s in occu pation a l stru ctu re do not a ffect m ateria lly the a ccu ra cy o f the earn ings data.W age trends fo r se le cte d occupational groups

The p ercen t in cre a s e s presented in table A -7 are based on changes in average h ou rly earn ings o f m en and w om en in establishm ents reporting the tren d jobs in both the cu rren t and previous year (m atched establishm ents). The data are ad justed to rem ov e the e ffects on average earnings o f em p loy m ent shifts am ong estab lishm ents and turnover of establishm ents included in su rvey sa m ples. The percen t in cre a se s , how ever, are still a ffected by fa c to rs other than w age in cre a s e s . H irings, la yoffs , and turnover m ay a ffect an estab lishm ent average fo r an occupation when w orkers are paid under plans provid ing a range o f w age rates for individual job s. In periods o f in creased h irin g , for exam ple , new em ployees m ay enter at the bottom of the range, dep ress in g the average without a change in wage rates.

The p ercen t changes relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the tim e span betw een surveys is other than 12 m onths, annual rates a re a lso shown. (it is assu m ed that wages in crea se at a constant rate betw een su rv e y s .)O ccupations u sed to com pute w age trends are :

P ercen t changes for individual areas in the program are computed as fo llow s :

1. A verage earnings are com puted fo r each occupation for the 2 years being com pared. The averages are derived fro m earnings in those establishm ents which are in the survey both y ea rs ; it is assum ed that employm ent rem ains unchanged.

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

3. T hese 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 are totaled to obtain a group average.

4. The ratio of group averages fo r 2 consecu tive years is com puted by dividing the average for the current year by the average fo r the ea r lie r year. The resu lt— expressed as a percent— le ss 100 is the percent change.

F or a m ore detailed descrip tion of the method used to compute these wage tren ds, see "Im proving A rea Wage Survey In dexes ," Monthly Labor Review , January 1973, pp. 52-57.

A verage pay relationships within establishm ents

R elative m easu res o f occupational pay are presented in table A -8 fo r w h ite -co lla r occupations and in table A - 9 for b lu e -co lla r occupations. T hese relative values re fle ct d ifferen ces in pay between occupations within individual establishm ents. Relative pay values are computed by dividing an estab lishm ent's average earnings fo r an occupation being com pared by the average for another occupation (designated as 100) and multiplying the quotient by 100. F or exam ple, if jan itors in a firm average $4 an hour and forklift operators $5 , fork lift operators have a relative pay value of 125 com pared with jan itors. ($ 5 -f $4 = 1.25, x 100 = 125.) In com bining the relatives of the individual establishm ents to a rr ive at an overa ll average, each establish m ent is con s id ered to have as many re la tives as it has weighted w orkers in the two jobs being com pared.

Pay relationships based on o v era ll averages m ay d iffer considerably becau se of the varying contribution of h igh- and low -w age establishm ents to the averages. F or exam ple, the o v era ll average hourly earnings for fork lift operators m ay be 50 percent m ore than the average fo r janitors because the average fo r fork lift operators m ay be strongly influenced by earnings in high-w age establishm ents while the average for janitors may be strongly in fluenced by earnings in low -w age establishm ents. In such a case , the in tra-estab lishm ent relationship w ill indicate a m uch sm aller d ifference in earnings.
