Introduction
This a rea is 1 o f 72 in which the U.S. Department of L a b o r 's Bureau o f Lab o r Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and re la ted benefits . (See l i s t of areas on inside back c o v e r . ) In each a rea , earnings data fo r se lec ted occupations (A - s e r i e s tab les ) a re co l lec ted annually. In form ation on estab lishm ent p ract ices and supplementary wage benefits (B - s e r i e s tab les ) is obtained e v e r y th ird year. This rep o rt has no B - s e r ie s tables.
Each yea r a fte r a l l individual a rea wage surveys have been c o m pleted, two sum m ary bulletins a re issued. The f i r s t brings together data fo r each m etropo litan a rea surveyed; the second presents national and reg iona l es t im ates , p ro jec ted f r o m individual m etropo litan a rea data, for a l l Standard M etropo l i tan S tatis t ica l A r e a s in the United States, excluding A laska and Hawaii.
A m a jo r consideration in the a rea wage survey p ro gram is the need to d escr ibe the l e v e l and m ovem ent of wages in a v a r ie t y of labor m arkets , through the analysis of (1) the le v e l and distr ibution o f wages by occupation, and (2) the m ovem ent o f wages by occupational ca tego ry and sk il l le ve l . The p ro gram develops in fo rm ation that m ay be used fo r many purposes, including wage and sa la ry adm inis trat ion , c o l le c t iv e bargain ing, and ass is tance in determ in ing plant location. Survey resu lts a lso a re used by the U.S. D ep a r t ment o f Lab o r to make wage determ inat ions under the S e r v ic e Contract A c t of 1965.

Appendix A.Scope and Method of Survey
In each of the 72 1 areas currently surveyed, the Bureau obtains wages and related benefits data from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication,and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Government operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are also excluded because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number of establishments and workers estimated to Ve within the scope of this survey, as well as the number actually studied.
Bureau field representatives obtain data by personal visits at 3 -year intervals. In each of the two intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings only is collected by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.
A sample of the establishments in the scope of the survey is selected for study prior to each personal visit survey. This sample, less establishments which go out of business or are no longer within the industrial scope of the survey, is retained for the following two annual surveys. In most cases, establishments new to the area are not considered in the scope of the survey until the selection of a sample for a personal visit survey.
The sampling procedures involve detailed stratification of all establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of employees. From this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment having a predetermined chance of selection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than small establishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment is weighted according to its probability of selection so that unbiased estimates are generated. For example, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a weight of 4 to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classification if data are not available from the original sample member. If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample member that is similar to the missing unit.Occupations and earnings
Occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types; (1) Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance, toolroom,
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 of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.
and powerplant; and (4) material movement and custodial. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. Occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B.
Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles are for all industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described, or for some industry divisions within the scope of the survey, are not presented in the A-series tables because either (1) employment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Separate men's and women's earnings data are not presented when the number of workers not identified by sex is 20 percent or more of the men or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in data for all industries combined. Likewise, for occupations with more than one level, data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification is not shown or information to subclassify is not available.
Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time workers, i.e., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly hours for office clerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest half dollar. Vertical lines within the distribution of workers on some A-tables indicate a change in the size of the class intervals.
These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular time. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over time may not reflect 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 firms 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. Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A -7, are better indicators of wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups.
Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments.Digitized for FRASER

In periods of increased h ir ing , for exam ple , new em ployees m ay enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the a ve ra ge without a change in wage rates.

P e rcen t changes fo r individual areas in the p ro g ram are computed as fo l l o w s :
1. A v e ra ge earnings are computed fo r each occupation fo r the 2 years being compared. The ave ra ges are d e r ived f r o m earnings in those estab lishments which a re in the survey both yea rs ; it is assum ed that employm ent remains unchanged.
2. Each occupation is ass igned a weight based on its p r o portionate employment in the occupational group in the base year.
3. These weights are used to compute group averages .Each occupation's average earnings (computed in step 1) is multiplied by its weight. The products a re totaled to obtain a group average.
4. The ratio of group ave rages fo r 2 consecutive yea rs is computed by dividing the a ve ra ge fo r the current y ea r by the average fo r the e a r l ie r yea r . The resu lt— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percen t change.
F o r a m ore detailed descr ip t ion of the method used to compute these wage trends, see " Im prov in g A re a W age Survey In d ex es , " Monthly Labor R ev iew , January 1973, pp. 52-57.
A v e ra g e pay relationships within establishments
R e la t ive m easures of occupational pay a re p resented in table A - 8 fo r w h ite -co l la r occupations and in table A - 9 fo r b lu e -c o l la r occupations. These r e la t iv e values r e f le c t d i f fe rences in pay between occupations within individual establishments. Re la t ive pay values a re computed by dividing an estab lishm ent 's average earnings fo r an occupation being com pared by the a ve ra ge fo r another occupation (designated as 100) and multip ly ing the quotient by 100. F o r example, i f janitors in a f i r m ave ra ge $4 an hour and fo rk l i f t operators $5, fo rk l i f t operators have a r e la t iv e pay value of 125 com pared with jan itors . ($5 -5- $4 = 1.25, x 100 = 125.) In combining the re la t iv es of the individual establishments to a r r i v e at an o v e ra l l a ve ra ge , each es tab l ish ment is considered to have as many r e la t iv e s as it has weighted w o rke rs in the two jobs being compared.
Pay relationships based on o v e r a l l a ve ra ges m ay d i f fe r cons iderab ly because of the varying contribution o f high- and low -w age estab lishments to the ave rages . F or example, the o v e ra l l a ve ra ge hourly earnings fo r fo rk l i f t opera tors m ay be 50 percent m ore than the a ve ra ge fo r jan itors because the a ve ra ge fo r fork l i f t operators m ay be s trong ly influenced by earnings in h igh-wage establishments while the a ve ra ge fo r jan itors m ay be s trong ly influenced by earnings in low -w age estab lishm ents. In such a case , the in tra-estab lishm ent relationship w i l l ind icate a much sm a l le r d i f fe ren ce in earnings.

Appendix B.OccupationalDescriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field representatives in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This permits grouping occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field representatives are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; and part- time, temporary, and probationary workers. Handicapped workers whose earnings are reduced because of their handicap are also excluded. Learners, beginners, and trainees, unless specifically included in the job descriptions, are excluded.
Office
SECRETARY
Assigned as a personal secretary, normally to one individual. Maintains a close and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activities of the supervisor. Works fairly independently receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance. Performs varied clerical and secretarial duties requiring a knowledge of office routine and understanding of the organization, programs, and procedures related to the work of the supervisor.
Exclusions. Not all positions that are titled "secretary" possess the above characteristics. Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows:
a. Positions which do not meet the "personal" secretary concept described above;
b. Stenographers not fully trained in secretarial-type duties;
c. Stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of professional, technical, or managerial persons;
d. Assist ant-type positions which entail more difficult or more responsible technical, administrative, or supervisory duties which are not typical of secretarial work, e.g., Administrative Assistant, or Executive Assistant:

Exclusions— ContixA.~v.vI
e. Positions which do not fit any of the situations listed in the sections below titled "Level of Supervisor," e.g., secretary to the president of a company that employs, in all, over 5,000 persons;
f. Trainees.
Classification by Level
Secretary jobs which meet the required characteristics are matched at one of five levels according to (a) the level of the secretary's supervisor within the company's organizational structure and, (b) the level of the secretary's responsibility. The tabulation following the explanations of these two factors indicates the level of the secretary for each combination of the factors.
Level of Secretary's Supervisor (LS)
