Preface

The Com m unity Wage Survey P rogra m

The Bureau of Labor Statistics now conducts a r e a wide wage su rveys in 82 labor m arkets annually. The studies p rov id e data on occupational earnings and related supplem entary ben efits . A pre lim in a ry re p o rt furnishing trend data and occupational average earnings (m ean, m e dian, and m idd le range) is re lea sed within a month of the com pletion of each area study. This is fo llow ed within 2 months by an area bulletin that provides additional data not included in the e a r lie r rep ort. T hese data include:

F o r each occupationem ploym ent and average earn ings, areaw ide and by se lected in du stry -grou p and distribu tions o f w ork ers by earnings in terva ls.

F or each related " fr in g e " benefit and supplem entary wage p ra ctice studied se lect ive d is tr ibutions of frequ en cy of the p ra ctice and se rv ice requ irem ents (w here pertinent), by areaw ide and in du stry -grou p p rop ortion s of o ffice and plant w ork ers to whom the b e n e f i t or p ra ctice is applicab le .

A scope table showing the num ber of estab lishm ents in scope of the survey, the num ber studied, and correspon d in g o ffic e and plant w orker em ploym ent, in the area and industry groups, as defined.

An e a r lie r consolidated bu lletin sum m arized the resu lts of the individual area bu lletins fo r the surveys m ade during the p er iod July I960 to June 1961. A lis t of the bu lletins fo r the areas surveyed appears on the last page of this bulletin .

This bu lletin p resen ts in form ation on occupational earn ings, em p loyer p ra c tice s , and supplem entary wage benefits fo r a ll m etropolitan areas com bined and separately by industry d iv is ion and by region . A lso provided are analyses o f wage trends, wage d isp ersion , in tercity pay d iffe re n ce s , and labor-m an agem en t agreem en t coverage .

Introduction

The Bureau o f L abor Statistics conducted surveys o f o c c u pational earnings and related p ra ctice s in 80 m etropolitan areas b e tween July I960 and June 1961. 1 T hese studies w ere part of a p r o gram designed to allow presentation o f data fo r each o f the particu lar areas and a lso to perm it the p ro jection of data to a ll 188 Standard M etropolitan S tatistical A reas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, as estab lish ed by the Bureau of the Budget through 1959. 2 In other w ord s , the 80 areas rep resen t a sam ple of a il 188 a reas .

O ccupations com m on to a variety of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing industries w ere studied on a com m unityw ide basis in the se lected a rea s . Earnings data are provided fo r the fo llow ing types of occu pation s: (a) O ffice c le r ic a l ; (b) p ro fe ss io n a l and te ch n ica l; (c) m aintenance and pow erplant; and (d) custod ia l and m ateria l m ovem ent. Data w ere a lso co lle c te d and su m m arized on shift o p e ra tions and d ifferen tia ls , w eekly w ork schedules, and supplem entary wage ben efits, such as paid vacations and paid holidays. A rea data are p resen ted in detail in the individual area bu lletins. 3

This annual rep ort is the secon d of two sum m ary bu lletins. The f ir s t sum m ary, W ages and R elated B enefits, 82 L abor M ark ets, 196061 (Bulletin 1285-83), in corporated data fo r each of the 82 areas su rv e y e d .4 This rep ort is con cern ed with data fo r a ll m etropolitan areas com bined ; data are presen ted on occupational earn ings, wage d isp ersion s , in tercity d iffe ren ces in w ages, wage trends, la b o r - m anagem ent agreem en ts, w ork sch edules, and m a jor supplem entary wage ben efits.

The estim ates relating to occupational earn ings, em p loyer p ra ctice s , and supplem entary wage benefits in urban em ploym ent p r e sented in this bu lletin are com p osites representin g about 59 ,000 e s tablishm ents em ploying nearly 16 m illion w ork ers within scope of the survey program . The 188 Standard M etropolitan Statistical A reas had

a com bined population of n early 110 m illion in I960, o r about th re e - fifths o f the Nation s total.

As indicated later in the bulletin , particu la rly in the analysis of w age d iffe ren ces am ong labor m ark ets, d iffe ren ces in pay leve ls am ong geograph ic areas are in fluenced by a variety of fa c to rs in clud ing variation in industria l com position .

In form ation on the d istribution of em ploym ent am ong the industry groups within scop e o f the B ureau s survey in m etropolitan areas m ay thus contribute to an understanding of the variety of e s t im ates presen ted in this rep ort . B ecau se of d iffe ren ces in o ccu p a tional requ irem ents am ong in du stries , individual industry groups did not n e ce s sa r ily contribute to the occupational em ploym ent estim ates (and to earn ings) in the sam e ratio as total em ploym ent in the industry group to total em ploym ent in all industries studied. T o illu stra te : The finance, in su ran ce , and rea l estate industries accounted fo r le ss than one-tenth of the total em ploym ent, but fu lly a fourth of the non- su p erv isory o ffic e w ork ers in the study.

Occupational Earnings

Introduction

In this study, occu pation al earnings data are p resen ted fo r a ll industries (within scop e o f the survey) in a ll m etropolitan areas com bined, fo r the United States and fo r four broad reg ion s , and se p arately fo r each o f s ix m a jo r industry d iv is ion s in F ebru ary I960 and January 1961 .7 (See tables A - l A -6 , in c lu s iv e .) Data fo r F ebru ary I960 are presen ted fo r the r e co r d only and d iscu ss ion w ill be lim ited to the January 1961 data.

The nationwide averages a re com p osites o f varying pay lev e ls am ong labor m ark ets, in du stries , and estab lishm ents. The tables w hich presen t occupational earnings by industry d iv is ion and by r e gion provide som e insight as to d iffe ren ces in pay lev e ls am ong these broad groupings. T hese d iffe ren ces w ould, o f co u rse , be m uch grea ter if com pa rison s w ere m ade am ong labor m arkets or am ong the in dividual industries w hich co m p r ise the broad er groupings or if the com p a rison s w ere m ade between establishm ents o r individual w o rk e r s 1 earn ings.

In general, average earnings o f plant and o ffic e w ork ers tended to be h igher in m anufacturing than in the total nonm anufacturing group and usually h igher in the w estern reg ion than in the other three reg ion s . As was noted above, h ow ever, each o f the g rou p ings includes a variety of labor m ark ets, in du stries , and e sta b lish m ents with wide d iffe re n ce s in pay le v e ls .

In term s o f pay le v e ls , o ffic e c le r ic a l job averages in urban areas w ere generally h ighest in public u tilities and next h ighest in m anufacturing am ong the s ix industry d iv is ion s included in the s u r vey program .
