Preface

The Bureau o f L ab or Statistics program of annual occu pation al w age su rveys in m etropolitan areas is d e signed to p rov ide data on occupational earn ings, and e s tablishm ent p ra c tice s and supplem entary wage prov is ion s . It y ie lds detailed data by se lected industry d ivisions for m etropolitan a rea labor m a rk ets, for econom ic reg ion s , and fo r the United States. A m a jor consideration in the p rogra m is the need fo r grea ter insight into (a) the m o v e m ent o f w ages by occu pation al ca tegory and sk ill le v e l, and (b) the stru ctu re and le v e l o f w ages among labor m arkets and industry d iv is ion s .

A p re lim in a ry rep ort and an individual area bu lletin presen t su rvey resu lts for each labor m arket studied. A fter com p letion o f a ll o f the individual area bu lletins fo r a round o f su rvey s , a two part sum m ary bulletin is issu ed . The fir s t part brings data for each of the labor m arkets studied into one bulletin . The secon d part presen ts in form ation w hich has been p ro jected from individual labor m arket data to relate to econom ic regions and the United States.

E igh ty-tw o labor m arkets curren tly are included in the p rogra m . In form ation on occupational earnings is c o lle c te d annually in each area . Inform ation on estab lish m ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary wage provision s is obtained bienn ia lly in m ost o f the areas .

This bu lletin p resen ts resu lts o f the survey in San F ra n cis co —O akland, C a lif. , in January 1964. It was prep ared in the B u reau 's reg ion a l o ffice in San F ra n cis co , by R obert L . O rr , under the d irection o f W illiam P . O 'C on n or. The study was under the general d irection of John L . Dana, A ssistan t R egional D irector fo r W ages and Industrial R elations.

Occupational Wage Survey—San Francisco—Oakland, Calif.

Introduction

This a rea is 1 o f 82 Tabor m arkets in w hich the U. S. D epartm ent o f L a b o r 's Bureau o f Labor Statistics conducts surveys o f occu pation al earn ings aiid re la ted wage benefits on an areaw ide b a sis . In this a re a , data w e re obtained by person a l v isits o f Bureau fie ld econ om ists to represen ta tive establishm ents within six broad industry d iv is ion s : M anufacturing; transportation , com m unication , and otherpublic u tilitie s ; w h olesa le trade; reta il trade; finance, insurance, and re a l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor industry groups excluded from these studies are governm ent operations and the construction and extractive in du stries . E stablishm ents having few er than a p re scr ib e d num ber o f w o rk e rs are om itted becau se they tend to furnish in su fficient em p loy m ent in the occupations studied to w arrant inclusion . Separate tabulations are p rov ided fo r each o f the broad industry div isions w hich m eet publication c r ite r ia .

T hese su rveys are conducted on a sam ple basis because o f the u n n ecessa ry co s t involved in surveying all establishm ents. To obtain optim um a ccu ra cy at m inim um co s t , a g reater p roportion o f la rge than o f sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data, h ow ever, a ll establishm ents are given their appropriate weight. E s tim ates based on the establishm ents studied are p resen ted , th ere fore , as relating to a ll establishm ents in the industry grouping and area , except fo r those below the m inim um size studied.

O ccupations and Earnings

The occu pation s se lected for study are com m on to a variety o f m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing industries , and are o f the follow ing types: (a) O ffice c le r ica l; (b) p ro fess ion a l and technical;(c) m aintenance and pow erplant; and (d) custodial and m ateria l m o v e m ent. O ccupational c la ss ifica tio n is based on a uniform set of job d escr ip tion s designed to take account o f interestablishm ent variation in duties within the sam e job . The occupations se lected for study are listed and d e scr ib e d in the appendix. Earnings data for som e o f the occupations listed and d escr ib ed are not presented in the A -s e r ie s tables becau se either (1) em ploym ent in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit presentation , or (2) there is p o s s i b ility o f d is c lo su re o f individual establishm ent data.

O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w o rk e r s , i. e. , those hired to w ork a regular w eekly schedule in the given occu pation al c la ss ifica tion . Earnings data exclude p r e m ium pay fo r overtim e and for w ork on w eekends, holidays, and late sh ifts. N onproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t -o f- l iv in g bonuses and incentive earnings are included. W here w eekly hours are reported ,

as for o ffice c le r ic a l occu pation s, re feren ce is to the w ork schedules (rounded to the n earest half hour) for w hich stra ight-tim e sa laries are paid; average w eekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the n earest half do lla r .

D ifferen ces in pay lev e ls for se lected occupations in which both m en and w om en are com m only em ployed m ay be due to such fa ctors as (1) d iffe ren ces in the distribution o f the sexes among in du stries and establishm ents; (2) d ifferen ces in length o f serv ice or m erit review when individual sa la ries are adjusted on this basis; and (3) d iffe ren ces in sp e c ific duties p e r form ed , although/the o c cu pations are appropria tely c la ss ifie d within the sam e survey job d e scrip tion . Job descr ip tion s used in classify in g em ployees in these surveys are usually m ore genera lized than those used in individual establishm ents. This allow s fo r m inor d ifferen ces am ong estab lish ments in sp e cific duties perform ed .

O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates represent the total in a ll establishm ents within the scope o f the study and not the number actually surveyed. B ecause o f d iffe ren ces in occupational structure among estab lishm ents, the estim ates o f occupational em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple o f establishm ents studied serv e only to indicate the relative im portance of the job s studied. T hese d iffe r ences in occupational structure do not m ateria lly a ffect the accuracy of the earnings data.

Establishm ent P ra c tice s and Supplem entary Wage P rov is ion s

Inform ation is presented (in the B -s e r ie s tables) on se lected establishm ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary wage p rov ision s as they relate to o ffice and plant w o rk e rs . A dm in istrative, execu tive, and p ro fess ion a l em p loyees , and fo r ce -a c co u n t construction w ork ers who are u tilized as a separate w ork fo r ce are excluded. "O ffice w ork ers" include w orking su p erv isors and n onsuperv isory w ork ers perform ing c le r ic a l or related functions. "P lant w o rk e rs " include w orking forem en and a ll n onsuperv isory w ork ers (including leadm en and trainees) en gaged in nonoffice functions. C afeteria w ork ers and routem en are excluded in m anufacturing indu stries , but included in nonm anufacturing industries.

M inimum entrance sa la ries (table B - l ) relate only to the e s tablishm ents v isited . They are presented in term s of establishm ents with form al m inim um entrance sa lary p o lic ie s .

Shift d ifferen tia l data (table B -2 ) are lim ited to plant w ork ers in m anufacturing in du stries . This in form ation is presen ted both in term s o f (a) establishm ent p o l i c y ,1 presen ted in term s o f total plant w ork er em ploym ent, and (b) e ffective p ra c tice , p resen ted in term s o f w o rk e rs actually em ployed on the sp ecified shift at the tim e o f the su rvey . In establishm ents having v aried d iffe ren tia ls , the amount applying to a m a jor ity w as u sed o r , i f no amount applied to a m a jor ity , the c la ss ifica tio n "o th e r " w as used. In establishm ents in w hich som e la te -sh ift hours are paid at n orm al ra te s , a d ifferen tia l w as re co rd e d only if it applied to a m a jority o f the shift hours.

The scheduled w eekly hours (table B -3 ) o f a m a jor ity o f the f ir s t -s h ift w ork ers in an establishm ent are tabulated as applying to a ll o f the plant or o ffice w ork ers o f that establishm ent. Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insu ran ce, and pension plans (tables B -4 through B -7 ) are treated sta tistica lly on the basis that these are applicab le to a ll plant or o ffice w ork ers i f a m a jor ity o f such w ork ers are elig ib le or m ay eventually qualify fo r the p ra ctice s listed . Sums o f individual item s in tables B -2 through B -7 may not equal totals becau se o f rounding.

Data on paid holidays (table B -4 ) are lim ited to data onholidays granted annually on a fo rm a l ba sis ; i. e. , (1) are providedfo r in w ritten fo rm , or (2) have been estab lished by custom . H olidays o rd in a rily granted are included even though they m ay fa ll on a nonw orkday, even i f the w ork er is not granted another day o ff. The fir s t part o f the paid holidays table presen ts the num ber o f w hole and halfholidays actually granted. The second part com bines whole and halfholidays to show total holiday tim e .

The sum m ary o f vacation plans (table B -5 ) is lim ited to fo rm a l p o lic ie s , excluding in form al arrangem ents w hereby tim e o ff w ith pay is granted at the d iscre tion o f the em p loyer. Separate estim ates are provided accord in g to em p loyer p ra ctice in computing vacation paym ents, such as tim e paym ents, percen t o f annual earn ings, o r fla t-su m am ounts. H ow ever, in the tabulations o f vacation pay, paym ents not on a tim e b a sis w ere converted to a tim e ba sis ; for exam ple, a paym ent o f 2 percen t o f annual earnings w as con sidered as the equivalent o f 1 w eek 's pay.

An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met eilher of die following conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the time of the survey, or (2) had formal provisions coveringlate shifts. An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1) had operated late shifts during die 12 months prior to the survey, or (2) had provisions in written form for operating late shifts.

Data are presented fo r a ll health, in su ran ce , and pension plans (tables B -6 and B -7 ) fo r w hich at lea st a part o f the co s t is borne by the em p loyer , excepting only lega l requ irem ents such as w ork m en 's com pensation , s o c ia l s e cu r ity , and ra ilroa d retirem en t. Such plans include those underw ritten by a co m m e r c ia l insurance com pany and those provided through a union fund or paid d ire c t ly by the em ployer out o f curren t operating funds or fro m a fund set aside fo r this pu rpose. Death ben efits are included as a fo rm o f life insurance.

Sickness and accident insu ran ce is lim ited to that type of insurance under w hich predeterm in ed cash paym ents are m ade d ire c t ly to the insured on a w eekly or m onthly b a sis during illn ess or acciden t d isab ility . Inform ation is presen ted fo r a ll such plans to w hich the em p loyer contributes. H ow ever, in New Y ork and New J e rse y , w hich have enacted tem porary d isab ility in surance law s w hich req u ire e m p loyer con tr ib u tion s ,2 plans are included only if the em p loyer (1) c o n tributes m ore than is legally req u ired , or (2) p rov id es the em ployee with benefits w hich exceed the requ irem en ts o f the law. Tabulations o f paid sick leave plans are lim ited to fo rm a l p.lans 3 w hich p rovide fu ll pay or a proportion o f the w o r k e r 's pay during absen ce fr o m w ork because o f illn ess . Separate tabulations are p resen ted a ccord in g to (1) plans which provide fu ll pay and no w aiting p e r io d , and (2) plans w hich provide either partial pay o r a w aiting p er iod . In addition to the presentation o f the p roportion s o f w ork ers who are p rovided sick n ess and accident insurance or paid s ick le a v e , an unduplicated total is shown o f w ork ers who re ce iv e either or both types o f ben efits .

Catastrophe insurance, som etim es r e fe r r e d to as extended m ed ica l insurance, includes those plans w hich a re designed to p ro tect em ployees in case o f sick n ess and in ju ry involving expenses beyond the n orm al coverage o f hosp ita lization , m e d ica l, and su rg ica l plans. M edica l insurance r e fe rs to plans provid in g fo r com plete o r partia l payment o f d o c to rs ' fe e s . Such plans m ay be underw ritten by c o m m e rc ia l insurance com panies or n onprofit organ izations or they m ay be se lf-in su red . Tabulations o f re tirem en t pension plans are lim ited to those plans that provide m onthly paym ents fo r the rem ain der o f the w o r k e r ’ s life .

2 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.

3 An establishment was considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the minimum number of days of sick leave that could be expected by each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, were excluded.

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups

P resen ted in table 2 are indexes and percen tages o f change in average sa la ries o f o ffice c le r ic a l w ork ers and industria l n u rses , and in average earnings o f se lected plant w ork er groups.

F or o ffic e c le r ic a l w ork ers and industrial n u rses , the p e r centages o f change relate to average w eekly sa la ries fo r n orm al hours o f w ork , that is , the standard w ork schedule fo r w hich stra igh t-tim e sa la rie s are paid. F or plant w ork er grou ps, they m easu re changes in average stra igh t-tim e hourly earn in gs, excluding prem ium pay for overtim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, holidays, and late sh ifts. The percen tages are based on data for se lected key occupations and in clude m ost o f the n u m erica lly im portant job s within each group. The o ffic e c le r ic a l data are based on m en and w om en in the follow ing 19 job s : B ookkeeping-m achine o p e ra to rs , c la ss B; c le rk s , accounting, c la ss A and B; c le rk s , f i le , c la ss A , B , and C; c le rk s , o rd er ; c le rk s , p a yro ll; C om ptom eter opera tors ; keypunch o p era tors , c la ss A and B; o ffic e boys and g ir ls ; s e c re ta r ie s ; stenograph ers, general; sten ogra p h ers , sen ior; sw itchboard op era tors ; tabulating-m achine op e ra to rs , c la ss B; and ty p ists , c la ss A and B. The industrial nurse data are based on m en and wom en industrial n u rses . Men in the follow ing 8 sk illed m aintenance job s and 2 unskilled job s are included in the plant w ork er data: Sk illed— carpen ters ; e le c tr ic ia n s ; m ach in ists; m e chan ics ; m ech a n ics , autom otive; pa inters; p ip efitters; and too l and die m ak ers; unsk illed— ja n ito rs , p o r te r s , and clean ers ; and la b o re rs , m a teria l handling.

A verage w eekly sa la ries or average hourly earnings w ere com puted for each o f the se lected occu pation s. The average sa la ries or h ourly earnings w ere then m ultiplied by em ploym ent in each o f the job s during the p eriod surveyed in 1961. T hese w eighted earnings

for individual occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an aggregate fo r each occupational group. F inally , the ratio (e x p re sse d as a percen tage) o f the group aggregate fo r the one y ear to the aggregate fo r the other year was com puted and the d iffe ren ce betw een the resu lt and 100 is the percentage of change from the one p er iod to the other. The indexes w ere com puted by m ultiplying the ra tios for each group aggregate for each period after the base year (1961).

The indexes and percen tages o f change m ea su re , p r in cip a lly , the e ffects of (1) general sa lary and w age changes; (2) m er it o r other in crea ses in pay re ce iv ed by individual w o rk e rs w hile in the sam e job ; and (3) changes in average w ages due to changes in the labor fo r c e resu lting from labor tu rnover, fo r c e expan sion s, fo r c e red u ction s , and changes in the p roportion s o f w o rk e rs em ployed by establishm ents with d ifferent pay le v e ls . Changes in the la bor fo r ce can cause in crea ses or d ecrea ses in the occu pation a l av erag es without actual wage changes. F or exam ple, a fo r c e expansion m ight in cre a se the proportion of low er paid w ork ers in a sp e c ific occu pation and low er the average , w hereas a reduction in the p rop ortion o f low er paid w ork ers would have the opposite e ffe ct . S im ila r ly , the m ovem en t o f a high-paying establishm ent out o f an area cou ld cause the average earnings to drop , even though no change in ra tes o c cu rre d in other establishm ents in the area .

The use of constant em ploym ent w eights elim in ates the e ffe ct of changes in the proportion of w o rk e rs rep resen ted in each jo b in cluded in the data. The percen tages of change re f le c t only changes in average pay for stra ight-tim e hours. They are not in fluenced by changes in standard w ork sch edu les, as such, or by p rem iu m pay for overtim e.

The above text represen ts the m ethod used in com puting a new index (1961 base) and trend se r ie s . This s e r ie s , initiated with the expansion o f the labor m arket wage survey program to 80 Standard M etropolitan S tatistical A re a s , rep la ces the old se r ie s (1953 base).

The new se r ie s c o v e rs the sam e job groupings as the ea r lie r s e r ie s with the follow ing exception s: The c le r ica l and industrial nurse grou ps, fo rm e rlyre str ic te d to w om en, now include both m en and w om en. Changes w ere a lso m ade in the job s included within job groupings in ord er that an identica l lis t could be em ployed in a ll areas .

Appendix: Occupational Descriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist its field staff 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 the grouping of 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 economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
