National Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the South Atlantic Census Division, February 2001 U.S. Department of Labor Elaine L. Chao, Secretary Bureau of Labor Statistics Kathleen P. Utgoff, Commissioner January 2003 Bulletin 2553-5 Preface T For additional information regarding this survey, please contact the information staff in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) National Office at (202) 691-6199. You may also write to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Compensation Data Analysis and Planning, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Room 4175, Washington, DC 20212-0001, or send e-mail to [email protected]. BLS field economists collected and reviewed the survey data. The Office of Compensation and Working Conditions, in cooperation with the Office of Field Operations and the Office of Technology and Survey Processing in the BLS National Office, designed the survey, processed the data, and prepared the survey for publication. The survey could not have been conducted without the cooperation of the many private and government jurisdictions that provided pay data included in this bulletin. BLS thanks these respondents for their cooperation. The data presented in this bulletin also are displayed in a Portable Document Format (PDF) on the BLS Internet site at http://www.bls.gov/ncs/home.htm.

This bulletin focuses on occupational earnings. The NCS replaced the Occupational Compensation Survey. The major difference between these two surveys is that the Occupational Compensation Survey used the same preselected list of occupations for all localities. The NCS uses a probability-based sample of establishments and occupations that is intended to represent more fully the employment patterns and occupational mix of each locality. This bulletin presents aggregated pay data from the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan local area surveys conducted in the South Atlantic census division. (See Technical Note.) It provides estimates of occupational pay for the census division, as well as selected data by worker and establishment characteristics. NCS bulletins were published for eight census divisions: New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central, South Atlantic, West South Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Estimates for the East South Central census division did not meet publishability standards. iii Contents Page Occupational Wages in the South Atlantic Census Division, February 2001 …………….………..………….. 1 Tables: Table 1.

The bulletin highlights average (mean) hourly pay for workers by seven characteristics: • • • • • • • that, for many of the worker and establishment characteristics presented, average pay for metropolitan area workers was higher than that for their counterparts in nonmetropolitan areas. See the Technical Note for definitions of metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. Among the census divisions, average earnings generally were highest in the Middle Atlantic, New England, and Pacific regions. Average earnings for the census divisions, and for other characteristics, can be seen in tables 1 and 2. Full-time, part-time, and combined average pay rates for occupations in private industry and in State and local governments in the South Atlantic region are shown in tables 3, 4, and 5. These tables contain wage rates and mean weekly hours for individual occupations and for major occupational groups. All registered nurses, for example, averaged $21.25 per hour (table 3). Registered nurses in private industry averaged $21.39 (table 4), while their counterparts in State and local government averaged $20.72 per hour (table 5). Laborers, except construction, averaged $9.44 in private industry and $8.64 in State and local governments. Janitors and cleaners, a service occupation, averaged $8.41 in the private industry and $9.22 in State and local government. Earnings by occupational group and level are shown in table 6. In determining the work level, the Bureau of Labor Statistics applies an “occupational leveling” technique to all occupations selected during the collection process, using 10 criteria to level occupations. Usually, the results tend to show higher pay at higher levels. In this region, average hourly earnings of white-collar workers ranged from $6.85 for work level 1 to $58.72 for level 14. Average earnings of blue-collar workers ranged from $7.79 for level 1 to $23.80 at level 9; service workers’ average earnings ranged from $6.47 for level 1 to $30.00 for level 11. The Technical Note has more information on occupational leveling. Table A in the Technical Note shows the number of workers represented by the surveys in the South Atlantic census division by major occupational group, such as professional specialty and technical, sales, and transportation and material moving. Table B shows the number of establishments studied in the South Atlantic census division by employment size; more establishments were studied in the group having 100 to 499 workers than in any other size category. Private industry and State and local government Metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas Selected occupations and major occupational groups Full-time and part-time status Bargaining status Size of establishment Work level Wages in the South Atlantic census division averaged $15.24 per hour in February 2001. Workers in private industry in the South Atlantic region averaged $14.66 per hour, while pay of workers in State and local government averaged $18.12 per hour. The nationwide hourly average for all workers covered by the survey was $16.23. Table 1 in this bulletin provides an overview of average pay for workers in private industry and State and local government by selected worker and establishment characteristics. For example, white-collar workers in private industry averaged $18.18 per hour; blue-collar workers averaged $12.78; and service occupations, $7.79. Corresponding averages in State and local government were $20.75, $13.20, and $13.01. Full-time workers in the South Atlantic region averaged $16.04 per hour while part-time workers averaged $8.19. In private industry, full-time workers averaged $15.52 an hour and part-time workers averaged $8.00. For workers in State and local government, average hourly pay was $18.39 and $11.19, respectively. Full-time or part-time designation is based on the employer’s definition of those terms. Workers in large establishments in the South Atlantic region—that is, establishments with 2,500 or more employees—had the highest average hourly pay at $20.36. Workers in the smallest establishment-size category studied (1 to 99 employees) averaged $13.00. Table 2 shows that workers in metropolitan areas averaged $15.46 per hour, more than the average pay for workers in nonmetropolitan areas, $13.34. Table 2 also shows 1 TABLE 1.

Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers, weighted by hours. 2 In this census division, collection was conducted between March 2000 and January 2002. The average reference period was February 2001. 3 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For more information about RSEs, see Technical Note. 4 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule based on the definition used by each establishment. Union workers are those whose wages are determined through collective bargaining. Wages of time workers are based solely on hourly rate or salary; incentive workers are those whose wages are at least partially based on productivity payments such as piece rates, commissions, and production bonuses. 5 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. See Technical Note for more information. 6 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-producing industries applies to private industry only. 7 Estimates include private establishments employing 1 to 99 workers and State and local government establishments employing 50 to 99 workers. 8 Data are presented for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area divisions as well as eight census divisions. Average hourly earnings and mean weekly hours for the East South Central census division did not meet publishability standards. See Technical Note for a list of States comprising the nine census divisions. NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria. 3 TABLE 2.

They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers, weighted by hours. 2 Total includes full-time and part-time workers. Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a 35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule. 3 In this census division, collection was conducted between March 2000 and January 2002. The average reference period was February 2001. 4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note. 5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For more information about RSEs, see Technical Note. NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately. 11 TABLE 4.

They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers, weighted by hours. 2 Total includes full-time and part-time workers. Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a 35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule. 3 In this census division, collection was conducted between March 2000 and January 2002. The average reference period was February 2001. 4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note. 5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For more information about RSEs, see Technical Note. NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately. 17 TABLE 5.

Mean Relative error5 (percent) $10.77 10.10 9.14 10.23 11.1 4.2 8.1 5.6 1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees. They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers, weighted by hours. 2 Total includes full-time and part-time workers. Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a 35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule. 3 In this census division, collection was conducted between March 2000 and January Part time Mean weekly hours Mean Relative error5 (percent) 39.2 36.3 20.1 35.8 $10.86 9.91 – 10.22 11.4 3.2 – 6.2 Hourly earnings Mean weekly hours Mean 40.0 37.8 – 39.4 – – $8.93 – Mean Relative weekly 5 error hours (percent) – – 9.9 – – – 18.3 – 2002. The average reference period was February 2001. 4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note. 5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For more information about RSEs, see Technical Note. NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified."

For more information, see Technical Note. 2 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated based on 10 factors, including knowledge, complexity, work environment, etc. Points are assigned based on the occupation’s rank within each factor. The points are summed to determine the overall level of the occupation. See the Technical Note for more information. 3 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees. They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers, State and local government Private industry Mean weekly hours Mean Relative error5 (percent) 36.6 29.5 36.4 33.6 $6.68 8.61 15.05 8.64 2.0 5.9 20.3 5.6 Hourly earnings Mean weekly hours Mean 36.6 27.4 37.0 31.1 – – – – Mean Relative weekly 5 error hours (percent) – – – – – – – – weighted by hours. 4 In this census division, collection was conducted between March 2000 and January 2002. The average reference period was February 2001. 5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For more information about RSEs, see Technical Note. NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified."

Bulletins are issued for individual localities when sufficient data meet publication standards. Agriculture, private households, and the Federal Government are excluded from the scope of the survey. Survey scope. In the South Atlantic census division, the NCS studied 3,450 establishments representing approximately 15,266,500 workers within the scope of the survey. Beginning with the 1999 NCS, private sector establishments with one or more workers are included in the survey. State and local governments with 50 or more workers also are included. The number of workers represented by the survey is shown in table A, and the number of establishments is shown in table B. For purposes of this survey, an establishment is an economic unit that produces goods or services, a central administrative office, or an auxiliary unit providing support services to a company. For private industries in this survey, the establishment is usually at a single physical location. For State and local governments, an establishment is defined as all locations of a government entity. Sampling frame. The list of establishments from which the survey sample was selected (sampling frame) was developed from the State unemployment insurance reports. The reference month for the public sector is June 1994. Due to the volatility of industries within the private sector, sampling frames were developed using the most recent month of reference available at the time the sample was selected. The reference month for the private sector varied by area. In the second stage, the sample of establishments was drawn by first stratifying the sampling frame by ownership and industry. The number of sample establishments allocated to each stratum is approximately proportional to the stratum employment. Each sampled establishment is selected within a stratum with a probability proportional to its employment. Use of this technique means that the larger an establishment’s employment, the greater the establishment’s chance of selection. Weights were applied to each establishment when the data were tabulated so that the establishment represents similar units (by industry and employment size) in the economy that were not selected for data collection. The third stage of sample selection was a probability sample of occupations within a sampled establishment. In the South Atlantic region, data were collected between March 2000 and January 2002 with an average reference period of February 2001. Sample design and data collection. The sample for this survey was selected using a three-stage design. The first stage consisted of the selection of areas. The nationwide NCS sample consists of 154 metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas that represent the Nation’s 326 metropolitan statistical areas and the remaining portions of the 50 States. Metropolitan areas are designated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) or Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (CMSA), as defined in 1994 by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. Nonmetropolitan areas are counties that do not fit the metropolitan area definition. The NCS areas that contribute to the South Atlantic census division are: Occupational selection and classification. Identification of the occupations for which wage data were collected was a four-step process: Atlanta, GA, MSA Augusta-Aiken, GA-SC, MSA 48 1. 2. 3. 4. a scientifically selected probability sample. There are two types of errors possible in an estimate based on a sample survey, sampling and nonsampling. Sampling errors occur because observations come only from a sample and not from an entire population. The sample used for this survey is one of a number of possible samples of the same size that could have been selected using the sample design. Estimates derived from the different samples would differ from each other. A measure of the variation among these differing estimates is called the standard error or sampling error. It indicates the precision with which an estimate from a particular sample approximates the average of estimates from all possible samples. The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error divided by the estimate. Tables in this bulletin provide RSE data for indicated series. The relative standard error can be used to calculate a “confidence interval” around a sample estimate. As an example, suppose the mean hourly earnings for all workers were $16.23 per hour, with a relative standard error of 1.0 percent for this estimate. At the 90-percent level, the confidence interval for this estimate is $15.96 to $16.50 ($16.23 x 1.645 x 0.010 = $0.2670, round to $0.27); ($16.23 - .27 = $15.96; $16.23 + .27 = $16.50). If all possible samples were selected to estimate the population value, the interval from each sample would include the true population value approximately 90 percent of the time. Nonsampling errors also affect survey results. They can stem from many sources, such as inability to obtain information for some establishments, difficulties with survey definitions, inability of the respondents to provide correct information, or mistakes in recording or coding the data obtained. Although such errors were not specifically measured, efforts were made to minimize nonsampling errors through the extensive training of field economists who gathered survey data by personal visit, computer editing of the data, and detailed data review. Probability-proportional-to-size selection of establishment jobs Classification of jobs into occupations based on the Census of Population system Characterization of jobs as full-time vs. part-time, union vs. nonunion, and time vs. incentive Determination of the level of work of each job For each occupation, wage data were collected for those workers who met all the criteria identified in the last three steps. Special procedures were developed for jobs for which a correct classification or level could not be determined. In step one, the jobs to be sampled were selected at each establishment by the BLS field economist during a personal visit. A complete list of employees was used for sampling, with each selected worker representing a job within the establishment. As with the selection of establishments, the selection of a job was based on probability proportional to its size in the establishment. The greater the number of people working in a job in the establishment, the greater its chance of selection. The second step of the process entailed classifying the selected jobs into occupations based on their duties. The NCS occupational classification system is based on the 1990 Census of Population. A selected job may fall into any one of about 480 occupational classifications, from accountant to wood lathe operator. For cases in which a job’s duties overlapped two or more census classification codes, the duties used to set the wage level were used to classify the job. Classification by primary duties was the fallback. In step three, certain other job characteristics of the chosen workers were identified. First, the worker was identified as holding either a full-time or part-time job, based on the establishment’s definition of those terms. Then the worker was classified as having a time versus incentive job, depending on whether any part of pay was directly based on the actual production of the workers, rather than solely on hours worked. Finally, the worker was identified as being in a union or a nonunion job. The fourth step in the job classification procedure was to determine the work level of each of the establishment's selected jobs, using an “occupational leveling” process. This process, involving discussions between the BLS field economist and the respondent, ranks and compares all selected establishment occupations using 10 leveling factors. For more information on occupational leveling and an example of how to use the criteria for leveling a job, see appendixes C and D of any published NCS locality bulletin or visit http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm on the World Wide Web.
