Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are
performance bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as
profit sharing payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay
increases, but not bonuses, under cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included.
2
Pay data for the following occupational levels did not meet publication criteria in any area: Budget Analysts I,
Computer Programmers V, Computer Systems Analyst Supervisors/Managers IV, and Personnel Supervisors/Managers
IV and V. In addition, for three occupations, only a single area published average pay data: Attorneys I averaged $738 in
Washington, DC; Attorneys VI averaged $2,719 in Houston, TX; and Registered Nurses IV averaged $969 in Detroit, MI.
3
The limited industry scope for this survey excluded mining, construction, and selected service-producing industries.
In addition, Programmers and Systems Analysts were the only professional and administrative occupations studied in all
industries; in a number of areas surveyed through June 1995, Registered Nurses were also studied. See appendix table
A-4 for more details.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that collected data, if any, did not meet publication criteria. Areas and occupations do not appear
on this table if they had no publishable data. Some areas used a slightly different job list, see appendix table A-6 for
more details.

Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts. Also excluded are performance bonuses and lump-sum payments of the
type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit sharing
payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other
nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not bonuses, under cost-of-living
clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included.
2
Pay data for the following occupational levels did not meet publication criteria in
any area: Computer Operators V, Engineering Technicians, Civil VI, Licensed
Practical Nurses III, Nursing Assistants IV, Corrections Officers, Firefighters, and
Police Officers II. In addition, for two occupations, only a single area published
average pay data: Engineering Technicians, Civil I averaged $333 in Kansas City,
$411
–
–
–
–
–
$263
–
–
MO; and Licensed Practical Nurses I averaged $400 in New Orleans, LA.

The limited industry scope for this survey excluded mining, construction, and
selected service-producing industries. In addition, Programmers and Systems
Analysts were the only professional and administrative occupations studied in all
industries; in a number of areas surveyed through June 1995, Registered Nurses
were also studied. See appendix table A-4 for more details.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that collected data, if any, did not meet publication criteria.
Areas and occupations do not appear on this table if they had no publishable data.
Some areas used a slightly different job list, see appendix table A-6 for more details.

Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit sharing
payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not
bonuses, under cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included.

The limited industry scope for this survey excluded mining, construction, and selected service-producing industries. In
addition, Programmers and Systems Analysts were the only professional and administrative occupations studied in all industries;
in a number of areas surveyed through June 1995, Registered Nurses were also studied. See appendix table A-4 for more
details.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that collected data, if any, did not meet publication criteria. Areas and occupations do not appear on this
table if they had no publishable data. Some areas used a slightly different job list, see appendix table A-6 for more details.

Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit sharing
payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not
bonuses, under cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included.

The limited industry scope for this survey excluded mining, construction, and selected service-producing industries. In
addition, Programmers and Systems Analysts were the only professional and administrative occupations studied in all industries;
in a number of areas surveyed through June 1995, Registered Nurses were also studied. See appendix table A-4 for more
details.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that collected data, if any, did not meet publication criteria. Areas and occupations do not appear on this
table if they had no publishable data. Some areas used a slightly different job list, see appendix table A-6 for more details.
