2 The mean is computed fo r each job by totaling the earnings of all w o rk e rs and dividing by the number of w o rk e rs . The median designates position— half o f the w o rkers r e c e iv e m ore and half r e c e iv e less than the rate shown. The m iddle range is defined by two rates of pay: a fourth of the w o rk e rs earn less than the low er o f these rates and a fourth earn m ore than the higher rate .

3 Earnings data re la te only to w o rkers whose sex identif ication was prov ided by the establishment.

12 Includes payments other than "length of t im e , " such as percentage o f annual earnings o r f la t-sum payments, converted to an equivalent time basis; fo r example, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 week 's pay. P e r io ds of s e rv ic e are chosen a rb i t ra r i ly and do not n ecessa r i ly re f le c t individual prov is ions fo r p rogress ion ; fo r example, changes in proportions at 10 years include changes between 5 and 10 yea rs .

In each o f the 841 2 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained f ro m rep resen tative establishments within six broad industry d ivisions: Manufacturing; transportat ion, communication, and other public util it ies; wholesa le trade; reta i l trade; f inance, insurance, and rea l estate; and s e rv ic e s . M a jo r industry groups excluded f ro m these studies are government operations and the construction and extrac t ive industries. Establishments having f ew e r than a p resc r ib ed number of w o rkers are omitted because of insuffic ient employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are prov ided fo r each of the broad industry d iv isions which m e e t . publication c r i te r ia .

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The sampling procedures invo lve detailed strat i f ica t ion of all establishments within the scope of an individual a rea survey by industry and number of employees . F ro m this s tra t i f ied universe a probab il ity sample is se lected , with each establishment having a p redeterm ined chance of se lection . To obtain optimum accuracy at m in im um cost, a g rea te r proportion of la rge them sm all es tab lish­ments is se lected . When data are combined, each establishment is weighted according to its probab il ity o f se lect ion , so that unbiased estimates are generated. F o r exam ple, i f one out o f four establishments is se lec ted , it is g iven a weight of four to represen t i t s e l f plus three others. An alternate of the same o r ig ina l probabil ity is chosen in the same industry -s ize c la s s i f i ­cation i f data are not available f r o m the or ig ina l sample m em ber . I f no suitable substitute is ava ilab le , additional weight is assigned to a sample m em b er that is s im i la r to the m iss ing unit.

Occupations and earnings

Occupations se lec ted fo r study are common to a va r ie ty of manu­facturing and nonmanufacturing industr ies , and are o f the following types: (1)O ff ice c le r ica l ; (2) p ro fess iona l and technical; (3) maintenance, too lroom , and powerplant; and (4) m ate r ia l m ovem ent and custodial. Occupational c lass if ica t ion is based on a uniform set o f job descriptions designed to take account o f in terestab lishm ent var ia t ion in duties within the same job.

all industries combined. Earnings data fo r some o f the occupations l is ted and descr ibed , o r fo r some industry d iv isions within the scope of the survey , are not presented in the A - s e r i e s tab les, because e ither (1) employment in the occupation is too sm a ll to p rov ide enough data to m er i t presentation, or (2) there is poss ib i l i ty o f d isc losure of individual establishment data. Separate m en 's and wom en 's earnings data are not presented when the number of w o rkers not identif ied by sex is 20 percent o r m o re of the men o r women identif ied in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separate ly fo r industry d iv isions are included in data fo r a ll industries combined. L ik ew ise , data are included in the o v e r a l l c lass if ica t ion when a subclassif ication of e l e c ­tron ics technicians, s e c r e ta r ie s , o r t ru ckdr ive rs is not shown or information to subclassify is not availab le .

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown fo r fu l l- t im e w o rk e rs , i . e . , those h ired to work a regu lar w eek ly schedule. Earnings data exclude p rem ium pay fo r o ve r t im e and fo r work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cos 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 technica l occupations r e fe r to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) fo r which em ployees r ece ive regu lar s tra igh t-t im e sa la r ies (exc lus ive of pay fo r o v e r t im e at regu lar and/or p rem ium rates ). A v e ra ge w eek ly earnings fo r these occupations are rounded to the nearest half do l lar .

These surveys m easure the le v e l o f occupational earnings in a n area at a part icu lar t im e. Com parisons of individual occupational averages o ve r t im e m ay not r e f le c t expected wage changes. The averages for individual jobs are a ffected by changes in wages and employm ent patterns. F o r example, proportions of w o rke rs em ployed by high- o r low -w age f i rm s m ay change, o r h igh-wage w o rke rs m ay advance to better jobs and be rep laced by new w orkers at low er rates. Such shifts in employm ent could decrease an occupational average even though m ost establishments in an area increase wages during the yea r . Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A - 7, are be tte r ind icators o f wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups.

A ve ra ge earnings re f le c t com pos ite , areaw ide est im ates. Industries and establishments d i f fe r in pay le v e l and job staff ing, and thus contribute d if fe ren t ly to the est im ates fo r each job. P a y averages m ay fa il to re f lec t accurate ly the wage d i f fe ren t ia l among jobs in individual establishments.

A v e ra g e pay le ve ls for men and women in se lected occupations should not be assumed to r e f le c t d i f fe rences in pay o f the sexes within individual establishments. F ac tors which m ay contribute to d if ferences include p ro gress io n within estab lished rate ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are co l lec ted ) and per fo rm ance of spec i f ic duties within the genera l survey job descr ip t ions. Job descr iptions used to c lass i fy em ployees in these surveys usually are m ore gen e ra l iz ed than those used in individual establishments and a l low fo r m inor d i f fe rences among establishments in spec i f ic duties per fo rm ed .

Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all estab­lishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establishments d i f fe r , estimates of occupational employment obtained f ro m the sample o f establishments studied se rve only to indicate the re la t ive importance of the jobs studied. These d i f fe rences in occupational structure do not affect m a te r ia l ly the accuracy of the earnings data.

W age trends fo r se lec ted occupational groups

The percent increases presented in table A - 7 are based on changes in ave rage hourly earnings fo r establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous yea r (matched establishments). The data are adjusted to rem ove the e f fec t on average earnings of employment shifts among establishments and turnover of establishments included in survey sam ples. The percent increases , however , are s t i l l a f fected by factors other than wage increases . H ir ings, layo f fs , and turnover m ay affect an establishment average fo r an occupation when w orkers are paid under plans provid ing a range of wage rates fo r individual jobs. In periods of increased h ir ing, fo r exam ple, new employees enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates.

The percent changes relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the t im e span between surveys is other than 12 months, annual rates are shown. (It is assumed that wages increase at a constant rate between surveys . )

Occupations used to compute wage trends are:

Percen t changes for individual areas in the p rogram are computed as fo llows:

1. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its p ro ­portionate employment in the occupational group in the base year.

2. These weights are used to compute group averages .Each occupation's average (mean) earnings is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to obtain a group average .

3. The ratio of group averages fo r 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the average for the current year by the average fo r the e a r l i e r year. The result— expres&ed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change.

Establishment p ract ices and supplementary wage provis ions

The incidence o f se lec ted establishment pract ices and supplementary wage prov is ions is studied fo r plant w orkers and o f f ic e w orkers . Plant w orkers include nonsuperv isory w orkers and working superv isors engaged in nonoffice functions. (C a fe te r ia workers and route workers are excluded in manufacturing industries, but included in nonmanufacturing industr ies .) O f f ice w o rkers include nonsuperv isory w orkers and working superv isors p e r fo rm ing c le r ic a l or re la ted functions. Lead w orkers and tra inees are included among nonsuperv isory w o rke rs . Adm in is tra t ive , executive, and pro fess iona l employees and construction w orkers utilized as separate work fo rces are excluded f ro m both the plant and o f f ice w o rker categor ies .

Minimum entrance sa lar ies (table B - l ) . M inimum entrance sa lar ies fo r o f f ic e w orkers rela te only to the establishments v is ited. Because of the optimum sampling techniques used and the probab il ity chat la rge estab lish­ments are m ore l ik e ly than sm all establishments to have fo rm a l entrance rates above the subc ler ica l le v e l , the table is m ore representative o f pol ic ies in medium and la rge establishments.

Shift d i f fe ren t ia ls— manufacturing (table B - 2 ) . Data w ere collected on po l ic ies o f manufacturing establishments regarding pay d if ferentia ls fo r plant w o rkers on late shifts. Establishments considered as having polic ies are those which (1) have p rov is ions in writ ing covering the operation of late shifts, o r (2) have operated late shifts at any t im e during the 12 months preced ing a survey. When establishments have seve ra l d if ferentia ls which va ry by job, the d if fe ren t ia l applying to the m a jo r i ty of the plant w orkers is recorded . When establishments have d if ferentia ls which apply only to certain hours o f work, the d if ferentia l applying to the m a jo r i ty of the shift hours is recorded.

F o r purposes of this study, a late shift is e ither a second (evening) shift which ends at o r near midnight o r a third (night) shift which starts at or near midnight.

D if ferentia ls fo r second and third shifts are sum marized separately fo r (1) establishment po l ic ies (an estab lishm ent's d if ferentia ls are weighted by

P rov is ion s which apply to a m a jo r i ty o f the plant o r o f f ic e w o rkers in an establishment are considered to apply to all plant o r o f f ic e w o rkers in the establishment; a pract ice o r p rov is ion is considered nonexistent when it applies to less than a m a jor ity . Holidays; vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are considered applicable to em p loyees current ly e l ig ib le fo r the benefits as w e l l as to employees who w i l l eventually becom e e l ig ib le .

Scheduled week ly hours and days (table B - 3 ) . Scheduled week ly hours and days r e fe r to the number of hours and days per week which fu l l­t im e f i r s t (day) shift w orkers are expected to work , whether paid fo r at s tra igh t-t im e o r o ve r t im e rates.

Pa id holidays (table B -4 ) . Holidays are included only i f they are granted annually on a fo rm a l basis (prov ided fo r in w r itten fo rm or established by custom) and em ployees are paid fo r the t im e o ff. They are included even though in a par t icu lar y ea r they fa l l on a nonworkday and em ployees are not granted another day off.

Data are tabulated to show the percent o f w o rke rs who (1) are granted spec i f ic numbers o f whole and half holidays and (2) are granted specif ied amounts of total holiday t im e (whole and half holidays are aggregated).

Pa id vacations (table B - 5 ) . Establishments report th e ir method of calculating vacation pay (t ime bas is , percent of annual earnings, f la t-sum payment, e tc . ) and the amount o f vacation pay granted. Only bas ic fo rm a l plans are reported. Vacation bonuses, vacation-sav ings plans, and "extended" o r "sabbat ica l" benefits beyond bas ic plans are excluded.

F o r tabulating vacation pay granted, all prov is ions are expressed on a t im e basis. Vacation pay calculated on other than a t im e basis is converted to its equivalent t im e period. Two percent of annual earnings, fo r exam ple , is tabulated as 1 week 's vacation pay.

A lso , p rov is ions a fter each spec if ied length o f s e rv ic e are rela ted to a l l plant o r o f f ic e w orkers in an establishment regard less of length of s e rv ic e . Vacation plans com monly prov ide fo r la r g e r amount o f vacation pay as s e rv ic e lengthens. Counts o f plant o r o f f ic e w o rk e rs by length o f s e rv ic e w e re not obtained. The tabulations of vacation pay granted p resents , th e r e ­fo re , sta t is t ica l m easures o f these p rov is ions rather than proportions of w o rkers actually rece iv ing spec i f ic benefits .

Health, insurance, and pension plans (table B -6 ) . Health, insurance, and pension plans include plans fo r which the em p loyer pays e ither a ll o r part o f the cost. The cost m ay be (1) underwritten by a com m erc ia l insurance company o r nonprofit organization , (2) c o ve red by a union fund to

which the em p loyer has contributed, o r (3) borne d ire c t ly by the em p loyer out o f operating funds o r a fund set aside to cove r the cost. A plan is included even though a m a jo r i ty of the em p loyees in an establishment do not choose to part ic ipate in it because they are requ ired to bear part o f its cost (prov ided the choice to partic ipate is availab le o r w i l l eventually become available to a m a jo r i ty ) . L e ga l ly requ ired plans such as socia l security , r a i l ­road re t irem en t, w o rk e r s ' d isabil ity compensation, and tem pora ry disabil ity insurance 3 are excluded.

L i fe insurance includes fo rm a l plans prov id ing indemnity (usually through an insurance po l icy ) in case of death o f the covered worker .

Acc iden ta l death and d ism em berm ent is l im ited to plans which prov ide benefit payments in case of death o r loss of limb o r sight as a d irect result o f an accident.

Sickness and accident insurance includes only those plans which prov ide that p rede te rm ined cash payments be made d ire c t ly to employees who lose t im e f ro m work because of i l lness o r in jury, e .g . , $ 50 a week for up to 26 weeks o f d isabil ity .

Sick leave plans are l im ited to fo rm a l p lans4 which provide fo r continuing an em p loyee 's pay during absence f ro m work because of i l lness . Data co l lec ted distinguish between (1) plans which prov ide full pay with no waiting period, and (2) plans which e ither prov ide part ia l pay o r requ ire a waiting period.

L o n g - t e rm d isab il i ty insurance plans prov ide payments to totally disabled em ployees upon the exp iration o f th e ir paid sick leave and/or s ick ­ness and accident insurance, o r a fte r a p rede te rm ined period of disabil ity (typ ica l ly 6 months). Paym ents are made until the end of the d isabil ity , a m axim um age, o r e l ig ib i l i t y fo r re t irem en t benefits . Fu ll or part ia l pay­ments are almost always reduced by soc ia l security , w o rk e rs ' d isab il ity compensation, and p r iva te pension benefits payable to the disabled employee.

Hospita lization , surg ica l, and m ed ica l insurance plans reported in these surveys p rov ide full o r par t ia l payment fo r bas ic s e rv ices rendered.

3 Temporary disability insurance which provides benefits to covered workers disabled by injury or illness which is not work-connected is mandatory under State laws in California, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Establishment plans which meet only the legal requirements are excluded from these data, but those under which (1) employers contribute more than is legally required or (2) benefits exceed those specified in the State law are included. In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out of a State fund to which only employees contribute. In each of the other three States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan:

State fund financing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund;- in New Jersey, employeesand employers contribute; in New York, employees contribute up to a specified maximum and employers pay the difference between the employees' share and the total contribution required.

Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required to contribute morethan they would if they were covered by the State fund; in New York, employees can agree to contribute more i f the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate with the benefit provided.

Federal legislation (Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act) provides temporary disability insurance benefits to railroad workers for illness or injury, whether work-connected or not. The legislation requires that employers bear the entire cost of the insurance.

4 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the minimum number of days of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

Plans res tr ic ted to pos t-opera t ive m ed ica l care o r a doctor 's care fo r m inor ailments at a w o rk e r 's p lace of employment are not considered to be m ed ica l insurance.

M a jo r m ed ica l insurance coverage applies to se rv ic e s which go beyond the bas ic se rv ic e s covered under hospita lization, surg ica l, and m ed ica l insurance. M a jo r m ed ica l insurance typ ica l ly (1) requ ires that a

"deductib le" (e .g . , $50) be met be fo re benefits begin, (2) has a coinsurance feature that requ ires the insured to pay a portion (e .g . , 20 percent) of certa in expenses, and (3) has a spec if ied do l la r maxim um of benefits (e .g., $ 10, 000 a yea r ) .

Dental insurance plans prov ide norm al dental s e rv ice benefits , usually fo r f i l l in gs , extract ions , and X - ra y s . P lans which provide benefits only fo r o ra l surgery o r repair ing accident damage are not reported.

Ret irem ent pension plains provide fo r regu lar payments to the re t i re e fo r l i fe . Included are d e fe r red p ro f i t -shar ing plans which provide the option o f purchasing a l i fe t im e annuity.

Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions

The p r im a ry purpose o f preparing job descriptions fo r the Bureau 's wage surveys is to assist its f ie ld staff in c lass ify ing into appropriate occupations w orkers who are employed under a va r ie ty o f payro l l t it les and d if ferent work arrangements f r o m establishment to establishment and f ro m area to area. This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because o f this emphasis on interestablishment and in terarea com parabil i ty o f occupational content, the Bureau 's job descriptions m ay d i f fe r sign if icantly f r o m those in use in individual establishments o r those p repared fo r other purposes. In applying these job descr iptions, the Bureau 's f ie ld economists are instructed to exclude working superv isors ; apprentices; lea rners ; beginners; tra inees ; and handicapped, p a r t - t im e , tem porary , and probationary w orkers .

OFFICES E C R E T A R Y

Ass igned as personal se cre ta ry , norm ally to one individual. M ain­tains a c lose and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day work of the superv isor . W orks fa i r ly independently rece iv ing a minimum of detailed superv is ion and guidance. P e r fo r m s va r ied c le r ica l and s ec re ta r ia l duties, usually including most of the fo l low ing :

a. Rece ives telephone ca l ls , personal c a l le rs , and incoming m a il , answers routine inquiries , and routes techn ica l inquiries to the p roper persons;

b. Estab lishes , maintains, and r ev ises the superv isor 's f i les ;

c. Maintains the superv isor 's calendar and makes appointments as instructed;

SE C R ET A R Y — Continued

d. Relays m essages f ro m superv isor to subordinates;

e. Reviews correspondence, memorandums, and reports prepared by others fo r the superv isor 's signature to assure procedural and typographic accuracy;

f. P e r fo r m s stenographic and typing work.

May also p e r fo rm other c le r ic a l and s e c re ta r ia l tasks of comparable nature and difficulty. The work typ ica l ly requires knowledge of o f f ice routine and understanding of the organization , p rog ram s , and procedures rela ted to the work o f the superv isor .

Beginning with calendar y ea r 19 76 surveys , the Bureau has grouped occupations studied in its a rea wage surveys into job fam il ies in o rd e r to present in form ation on related occupations in sequence. Job fam il ies have not been tit led , however , since doing so might have added extraneous elements to the job matching process .

The Bureau has also rev ised s eve ra l occupational t i t les . The rev is ed tit les m ore near ly re f lec t usual word order and are m ore descr ip t ive o f the survey jobs.

Rev ised occupational descriptions are being introduced this y ea r for : O rde r c lerk ; payro l l clerk;switchboard operator ; switchboard opera tor -recep t ion is t ; transcr ib ing-m ach ine typ ist (p rev iously t it led transcr ib ing-m ach ine operator ) ; m ach ine-too l operator ( too lroom ); and tool and die m aker . They are the result o f the Bureau 's po licy of p e r iod ica l ly rev iew ing area wage survey occupational descr iptions in o rd e r to take into account technolog ica l developments and to c la r i fy descr iptions so that they are m ore read ily understood and uniform ly interpreted. Even though the rev ised descriptions re f lec t bas ica l ly the same occupations as p rev iou s ly defined, some reporting changes may occur because of the rev is ions .
