Introduction
This area is 1 o f 72 in w hich the U.S. D epartm ent of L a b or 's Bureau o f L abor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related ben efits. (See lis t of areas on inside back c o v e r .) In each area , earnings data fo r se le cted occupations (A -s e r ie s tab les) are co lle cted annually. In form ation on establishm ent p ra ctices and supplem entary wage benefits (B -s e r ie s tab les) is obtained ev ery third year. This rep ort has 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 presents national and regional estim a tes , p ro je cte d from individual m etropolitan area data, for a ll Standard M etropolitan S tatistical 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 of w ages in a varie ty of labor m arkets, through the analysis of ( 1 ) the level and d istribution o f wages by occupation , and (2) the m ovem ent o f w ages by occupational ca tegory and sk ill level. The program develops in form ation that m ay be used fo r many pu rp oses, including w age and sa la ry 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 erv ice C ontract A ct of 1965.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey
In each o f the 72 1 areas curren tly surveyed, the Bureau obtains w ages and related ben efits data from representative establishm ents within s ix broad industry d iv is io n s : M anufacturing; transportation, com m unication ,and oth er public u tilit ie s ; w h olesa le trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and rea l estate ; and s e r v ic e s . G overnm ent operations and the construction and ex tractiv e in du stries are excluded . Establishm ents having few er than a p r e s c r ib e d num ber o f w o rk e rs are also excluded because o f insu fficient em ploym ent in the occu pation s studied. Appendix table 1 shows the num ber o f estab lishm ents and w o rk e rs estim ated to Ve within the scop e o f this survey , as w e ll as the num ber actually studied.
B ureau fie ld rep resen ta tives obtain data by person al v isits at 3 - year in te rv a ls . In each o f the two intervening y ears, in form ation on em ploym ent and occu pation a l earn ings on ly is co lle c te d by a com bination o f p erson a l v isit, m a il qu estion n a ire , and telephone interview from establishm ents participating in the p rev iou s su rvey .
A sam ple o f the estab lishm ents in the scope of the su rvey is se lected fo r study p r io r to each p erson a l v is it survey. This sam ple, le s s establish m en ts w hich go out o f bu sin ess o r are no lon ger within the industrial sco p e o f the su rvey , is reta ined fo r the follow ing two annual su rvey s . In m o st c a s e s , estab lishm ents new to the area are not con sidered in the scope o f the su rvey until the se le ct io n o f a sam ple fo r a person a l v isit su rvey .
The sam pling p ro ce d u re s involve detailed stratifica tion o f all establish m en ts w ithin the sco p e o f an individual area survey by industry and num ber o f em p lo y e e s . F ro m this stratified universe a proba b ility sam ple is se le cte d , with each estab lishm ent having a predeterm ined chance o f se le c tio n . T o obtain optim um a ccu ra cy at m inim um cost, a g rea ter proportion o f la rg e than sm all estab lishm ents is se lected . When data are com bined , each estab lishm ent is w eighted accord in g to its probability o f se le ction so that unbiased estim a tes are generated . F o r exam ple, if one out o f four estab lishm ents is se le cte d , it is g iven a weight o f 4 to rep resen t itse lf plus th ree o th e rs . An alternate o f the sam e origina l probability is chosen in the sam e in d u s try -s ize c la s s if ica t io n if data are not available fro m the or ig in a l sam ple m e m b e r . If no su itable substitute is available, additional w eight is assign ed to a sam ple m e m b e r that is s im ilar to the m issing unit.O ccupations and earn ings
O ccupations se le cte d fo r study are com m on to a v ariety o f m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in du str ies , and are of the fo llow in g types: ( 1 )O ffice c le r ic a l ; (2) p ro fe ss io n a l and technical; (3) m aintenance, too 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 limited area studies in approximately 100 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.
and pow erplant; and (4) m a teria l m ovem ent and custodia l. Occupational c la ss ifica tion is based on a uniform set o f jo b descrip tions designed to take account o f in terestablishm ent variation in duties within the same job . O ccupations se lected fo r study are listed and descr ibed in appendix B.
U nless oth erw ise indicated, the earnings data follow ing the job titles are for all industries com bined. Earnings data for som e of the occupations listed and d escr ib ed , or fo r som e industry divisions within the scope o f the survey , are not presented 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 ossib ility o f d isclosu re of individual establishm ent data. Separate m en 's and w om en 's earnings data are not presen ted when the num ber of w ork ers not identified by sex is 20 percent or m o re o f the m en o r w om en identified in an occupation . Earnings data not shown separately fo r industry d iv isions are included in data for all industries com bined . L ik ew ise , fo r occupations with m ore than one level, data are included in the ov era ll c la ss ifica tion when a subclassification is not shown o r in form ation to su bcla ss ify is not available.
O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w o rk e rs , 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. N onproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t-o f-liv in g allow ances and incentive bonuses are included. W eekly hours for o ffice c le r ica l and p ro fe ss io n a l and tech n ica l occupations re fer to the standard w orkw eek (rounded to the n earest half hour) fo r which em ployees rece iv e regu lar stra igh t-tim e sa la ries (ex clu sive o f pay fo r overtim e at regular an d /or prem ium ra tes ). A verage w eekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the n earest half d o lla r . V ertica l lines within the distribution of w ork ers on som e A -ta b le s indicate a change in the s ize o f the class intervals.
T hese su rveys m ea su re the lev e l o f occupational earnings in an area at a particu lar tim e. C om parisons of individual occupational averages over tim e m ay not r e fle c t expected wage changes. The averages fo r individual jobs are affected by changes in w ages and em ploym ent patterns. F or exam ple, proportion s o f w ork ers em ployed by high- o r low -w age firm s m ay change, or h igh-w age w ork ers m ay advance to better job s and be rep laced by new w ork ers at low er ra tes . Such shifts in em ploym ent could d ecrea se an o ccu pational average even though m ost establishm ents in an area in crease wages during the year . Changes in earnings o f occupational groups, shown in table A - 7, are better in d icators o f w age trends than are earnings changes for individual job s within the groups.
A verage earnings re fle ct com p osite , areaw ide estim ates. Industries and establishm ents d iffe r in pay le v e l and job staffing, and thus contribute d ifferen tly to the estim ates fo r each jo b . Pay averages m ay fail to re fle ct a ccu rate ly the w age d ifferen tia l among job s in individual establishm ents.

A verage pay lev e ls fo r m en and w om en in se lected occupations should not be assum ed to r e fle c t d iffe ren ces in pay of the sexes within individual establishm ents. F a ctors which m ay contribute to d iffe ren ces include p r o g ression within estab lished rate ranges (only the rates paid incum bents are co llected ) and p erform an ce of sp e c ific duties within the general survey job descrip tions. Job descr ip tion s used to c la s s ify em ployees in these surveys usually are m ore g en era lized than those used in individual establishm ents and allow for m inor d iffe ren ces am ong establishm ents in sp ecific duties perform ed.
O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates represen t the total in a ll e stab lishm ents within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational stru ctu res am ong establishm ents d iffe r , estim ates of occupational em ploym ent obtained fro m the sam ple of establishm ents studied serve only to indicate the re la tive im portan ce o f the jobs studied. T hese d ifferences in occupational stru ctu re do not a ffe ct m a teria lly the accu ra cy o f the earnings data.Wage trends fo r se le cted occupational groups
The percen t in cre a se s presen ted in table A -7 are based on changes in average hourly earnings o f m en and w om en in establishm ents reporting the trend jobs in both the curren t and previous year (m atched establishm ents). The data are adjusted to rem ove the e ffects on average earnings o f em p loy ment shifts am ong establishm ents and turnover of establishm ents included in survey sam ples. The percen t in cre a s e s , how ever, are still a ffected by fa ctors other than wage in cre a se s . H irings, la yo ffs , and tu rnover may a ffect an establishm ent average fo r an occupation when w ork ers are paid under plans providing a range o f w age rates fo r individual jo b s . In periods of in creased h iring, for exam ple, new em ployees m ay enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in w age rates.
The percen t changes re late to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the tim e span betw een surveys is other than 12 m onths, annual rates are a lso shown. (It is assu m ed that w ages in crea se at a constant rate between su rvey s .)O ccupations used to com pute wage trends are :

P ercen t changes for individual areas in the program are com puted 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 from earnings in those establishm ents which are in the survey both y ears ; it is assum ed that em ploym ent remains unchanged.
2. Each occupation is assign ed a weight based on its p r o portionate em ploym ent in the occupational group in the base year.
3. These 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 con secu tive years is computed by dividing the average fo r the current year by the average fo r the e a r lie r year. The resu lt— ex p ressed as a percent— less 100 is the p ercen t change.
F or a m ore detailed descr ip tion of the m ethod used to com pute these wage tren ds, see "Im proving A rea Wage Survey In d exes ," Monthly Labor R eview , January 1973, pp. 52-57.
A verage pay relationships within establishm ents
Relative m easures of occupational pay are presen ted 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 iffe ren ces in pay between occupations within individual establishm ents. R elative pay values are com puted by dividing an establishm ent's average earnings fo r an occupation being com pared by the average for another occupation (designated as 100) and m ultiplying the quotient by 100. F o r exam ple, if janitors in a firm average $4 an hour and fork lift opera tors $5, fork lift operators have a re la tive pay value of 125 com pared with ja n itors. ($5 -f $4 = 1.25, x 100 = 125.) In com bining the re la tives of the individual establishm ents to a rr iv e at an ov era ll average, each estab lish ment is considered to have as many re la tives as it has weighted w ork ers in the two jobs being com pared.
Pay relationships based on o v era ll averages m ay d iffe r con siderab ly becau se of the varying contribution of h igh- and low -w age establishm ents to the av erages. F or exam ple, the o v e ra ll average hourly earnings fo r fo rk lift opera tors may be 50 percent m ore than the average fo r jan itors becau se the average fo r fork lift operators m ay be stron gly in fluenced by earnings in h igh-w age establishm ents while the average fo r jan itors m ay be strongly in fluenced by earnings in low -w age establishm ents. In such a c a se , the in tra-estab lishm ent relationship w ill indicate a much sm a ller d ifferen ce in earn ings.
Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
Tabulations on se lected establishm ent p ra ctices and supplem entary wage provision s (B -s e r ie s tables) are not presen ted in this bulletin . In form ation fo r these tabulations is co lle c te d at 3 -y e a r in terva ls. T hese tabulations on m inim um entrance sa laries fo r in exp erien ced o ffice w o rk e rs ; shift d if fe r entia ls; scheduled w eekly hours and days; paid h olidays; paid vacation s ; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presen ted (in the B -s e r ie s tab les) in p revious bulletins fo r this area.
