PrefaceThis bulletin provides results of a June 1975 survey of occupational earnings in the

Greenville—Spartanburg, South Carolina, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (Greenville, Pickens, and Spartanburg Counties), The survey was made as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual area wage survey program. The program is designed to yield data for individual metropolitan areas, as well as national and regional estimates for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii,

A major consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to describe the level and movement of wages in a variety of labor markets, through the analysis of (1) the level and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level. The program develops information that may be used for many purposes, including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and assistance in determining plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S. Department of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965.

Currently, 82 areas are included in the program. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data are collected annually. Information on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits is obtained every third year.

Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been completed, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed. The second summary bulletin presents national and regional estimates, projected from individual metropolitan area data.

The Greenville—Spartanburg survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Atlanta, Ga„ under the general direction of Donald M. Cruse, Associate Assistant Regional Director for Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the many firms whose wage and salary data provided the basis for the statistical information in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to express sincere appreciation for the cooperation received.

IntroductionThis area is 1 of 82 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's

Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits on an areawide basis. In this area, data were obtained by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and telephone interview. Representative establishments within six broad industry divisions were contacted: Manufacturing; transportation, communication, and other other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.

A-series tables

Tables A - 1 through A-6 provide estimates of straight-time hourly or weekly earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupations were selected from the following categories: (a) Office clerical, (b) professional and technical, (c) maintenance and powerplant, and (d) custodial

and material movement. In the 31 largest survey areas, tables A -la through A-6a provide similar data for establishments employing 500 workers or more.

Following the occupational wage tables is table A -7 which provides percent changes in average earnings of office clerical workers, electronic data processing workers, industrial nurses, skilled maintenance workers, and unskilled plant workers. This measure of wage trends eliminates changes in average earnings caused by employment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. Where possible, data are presented for sill industries, manufacturing, and nonmanufacturing. Appendix A discusses this wage trend measure.

Appendixes

This bulletin has two appendixes. Appendix A describes the methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program and provides information on the scope of the survey. Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify workers in occupations for which straight-time earnings information is presented.

Table A-7. Percent increase in average hourly earnings for selected occupational groups, adjusted for employment shifts

NOTE: Data for table A -7 are not available for the G reenville—Spartanburg survey since this is the first year a survey of com parable scope was conducted in the area.

1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earning to these weekly hours.

2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all w orkers and dividing by the number of w orkers. The median designates position— half of the em ployees surveyed and half receive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the w orkers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn m ore than the

Appendix AArea wage and related benefits data are obtained by personal visits of Bureau field represent

atives at 3-year intervals.1 In each of the intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings is collected by a combination of personal visit; mail questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.

In each of the 822 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained 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. Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. 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 four 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 for 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 EarningsOccupations 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 and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material movement. 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 occupations, 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 all industries combined data, where shown. Likewise, data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification of electronics technicians, secretaries, or truckdrivers 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.

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. Trends in earnings of occupational groupq, shown in table A -7 , are better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups.

k Personal visits wen on a 2-year cycle before July 1972.2 Included in the 82 areas are 12 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Akron, Ohio; Austin, l ex .; Binghamton,

N. Y . —Pa.; Birmingham, A la .; Fort Lauderdale—Hollywood and West Palm Beach—Boca Raton, Fla.; Lexington—Fayette, K y.; Melbourne—Titusville- Cocoa, Fla.; Norfolk—Virginia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, Va. —N. C .; Poughkeepsie—Kingston—Newburgh, N. Y .; Raleigh— Durham, N. C .; Syracuse, N. Y . ; and Westchester County, N. Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in approximately 70 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.

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.

Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupations should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. Factors which may contribute to differences include progression within established rate ranges, since only the rates paid incumbents are collected, and performance of specific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job descriptions used to classify employees in these surveys usually are more generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in specific duties performed.

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 differ, estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not affect materially the accuracy of the earnings data.Wage trends for selected occupational groups

The percents of change in table A -7 relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of increase, where shown, reflect the amount of increase for 12 months when the time span between surveys was other than 12 months. Annual rates are based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant rate between surveys.Occupations used to compute wage trends are:

Office clerical (men and women):Bookkeeping-machine operators,

class BClerks, accounting, classes A and B Clerks, file, classes A, B, and C Clerks, order Clerks, payrollKeypunch operators, classes A and BMessengersSecretariesStenographers, general Stenographers, senior Switchboard operators, classes A ana B Tabulating-machine operators,

class BTypists, classes A and BElectronic data processing

Industrial nurses (men and women):

Nurses, industrial (registered)Skilled maintenance (men):CarpentersElectriciansMachinistsMechanicsMechanics (automotive)PaintersPipefittersTool and die makersUnskilled plant (men):Janitors, porters, and cleaners Laborers, material handling

Percent changes for individual areas in the program are computed as follows:1. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment in the selected

group of occupations 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 for 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the average

for the current year by the average for the earlier year. The results— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the Dercent change.Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions

Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions (B-series tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Information for these tabulations is collected at 3-year intervals. 1 These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced office workers; shift differentials; scheduled weekly hours and days; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the B-series tables) in previous bulletins for this area.

1 The Greenville—Spartanburg Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget through February 1974, consists of Greenville, Pickens, and Spartanburg Counties. The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in industries

such as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation.5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A -series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded.6 This division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A -series tables. Separate presentation of data

is not made for one or more of the following reasons: (1) Employment is too small to provide enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.

7 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.

TABULATING-MACHINE OPERATOR (Electric Accounting Machine Operator)

Operates one or a variety of machines such as the tabulator, calculator, collator, interpreter; sorter, reproducing punch, etc. Excluded from this definition are working supervisors. Also excluded are operators of electronic digital computers, even though they may also operate EAM equipment.

Positions are classified into levels on the basis of the following definitions.Glass A. Performs complete reporting and tabulating assignments including devising difficult

control panel wiring under general supervision. Assignments typically involve a variety of long and complex reports which often are irregular or nonrecurring, requiring some planning of the nature and sequencing of operations, and the use of a variety of machines. Is typically involved in training new operators in machine operations or training lower level operators in wiring from diagrams and in the operating sequences of long and complex reports. Does not include positions in which wiring responsibility is limited to selection and insertion of prewired boards.

Class B. Performs work according to established procedures and under specific instructions. Assignments typically involve complete but routine and recurring reports or parts of larger and more complex reports. Operates more difficult tabulating or electrical accounting machines such as the tabulator and calculator, in addition to the simpler machines used by class C operators. May be required to do some wiring from diagrams. May train new employees in basic machine operations.

Class C. Under specific instructions, operates simple tabulating or electrical accounting machines such as the sorter, interpreter, reproducing punch, collator, etc. Assignments typically involve portions of a work unit, for example, individual sorting or collating runs, or repetitive operations. May perform simple wiring from diagrams, and do some filing work.

TRAN SCRIBIN G rM ACH IN E O P E R A T O R , G E N E R A L

Primary duty is to transcribe dictation involving a normal routine vocabulary from transcribing-machine records. May also type from written copy and do simple clerical work. Workers transcribing dictation involving a varied technical or specialized vocabulary such as legal briefs or reports on scientific research are not included. A worker who takes dictation in shorthauid or by Stenotype or similar machine is classified as a stenographer.

TY P IST

Uses a typewriter to make copies of various materials or to make out bills after calculations have been made by another person. May include typing of stencils, mats, or similar materials for use in duplicating processes. May do clerical work involving little special training, such as keeping simple records, filing records and reports, or sorting and distributing incoming mail.

Class A. Performs one or more of the following: Typing material in final form when it involves combining material from several sources; or responsibility for correct spelling, syllabication, punctuation, etc., of technical or unusual words or foreign language material; or planning layout and typing of complicated statistical tables to maintain uniformity and balance in spacing. May type routine form letters, varying details to suit circumstances.

Class B. Performs one or me re of the following: Copy typing from rough or clear drafts; or routine typing of forms, insurance policies, etc; or setting up simple standard tabulations; or copying more complex tables already set up and spaced properly.

PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICALCOMPUTER OPERATOR

Monitors and operates the control console of a digital computer to process data cccording to operating instructions, usually prepared by a programmer. Work includes most of the following: Studies instructions to determine equipment setup and operations; loads equipment with required items (tape reels, cards, etc.); switches necessary auxiliary equipment into circuit, and starts and operates computer; makes adjustments to computer to correct operating problems and meet specisil conditions; reviews errors made during operation and determines cause or refers problem to supervisor or programmer; and maintains operating records. May test and assist in correcting program.

For wage study purposes, computer operators are classified as follows:

Class A. Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running programs with most of the following characteristics: New programs are frequently tested andintroduced; scheduling requirements are of critical importance to minimize downtime; the programs are of complex design so that identification of error source often requires a working knowledge of the total program, and alternate programs may not be available. May give direction and guidance t° lower level operators.

COMPUTER OPERATOR— Continued

Class B. Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running programs with most of the following characteristics: Most of the programs are established productionruns, typically run on a regularly recurring basis; there is little or no testing of new programs required; alternate programs are provided in case original program needs major change or cannot be corrected within a reasonably time. In common error situations, diagnoses cause and takes corrective action. This usually involves applying previously programmed corrective steps, or using standard correction techniques.

OR

Operates under direct supervision a computer running programs or segments of programs with the characteristics described for class A. May assist a higher level operator by independently performing less difficult tasks assigned, and performing difficult tasks following detailed instructions and with frequent review of operations performed.

Class C. Works on routine programs under close supervision. Is expected to develop working knowledge of the computer equipment used and ability to detect problems involved in running routine programs. Usually has received some formal training in computer operation. May assist higher level operator on complex programs.
