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 In this census division, data were collected between December 2003 and
January 2005. The average reference period was June 2004.
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 nine census divisions. See Technical Note for a list of States making up the
nine census divisions.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet
publication criteria.

2 A metropolitan area can be a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or
Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA) as defined by the Office of
Management and Budget, 1994. Nonmetropolitan areas are counties that do not fit
the definitions above.
3 In this census division, data were collected between December 2003 and
January 2005. The average reference period was June 2004.
4 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a

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, data were collected between December 2003 and January
2005. The average reference period was June 2004.
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.

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, data were collected between December 2003 and January
2005. The average reference period was June 2004.
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.

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.

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.

1 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all
workers in the civilian economy. 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, and so forth. 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,

he data in this bulletin are based on the National Compensation Survey (NCS) conducted by the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics (BLS) throughout the year. The surveys
are locality-based and cover establishments in private
industry and State and local governments. 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 3,740 establishments representing approximately 14,119,200 workers within the scope of the survey.
Private sector establishments with 1 or more workers are
included in the survey. State and local governments with
50 or more workers within a survey area are also 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 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 was approximately proportional to
the stratum employment. Each sampled establishment was
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 which were not selected
for data collection.
The third stage of sample selection was a probability
sampling of occupations within a sampled establishment.
Sample design. 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
152 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 (MSAs) or
Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (CMSAs), 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 locality areas that contribute to the South
Atlantic Census Division are:
Data collection. Collection was the responsibility of field
economists, working out of the BLS regional offices, who
contacted each establishment surveyed. Collection was
conducted between December 2003 and January 2005.
The average payroll reference month was June 2004. For
each establishment in the survey, the data reflect the
establishment’s practices on the day of collection.
Identification of the occupations for which wage data
were collected was a four-step process:

survey, sampling errors and nonsampling errors.
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 $18.09 per hour, with a relative standard error of 0.9
percent for this estimate. At the 90-percent level, the
confidence interval for this estimate is $17.82 to $18.36
($18.09 x 1.645 x 0.009 = $0.2678, round to $0.27);
($18.09 - .27 = $17.82; $18.09 + .27 = $18.36). 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. These
errors 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 by 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 whose jobs could be characterized by 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 that
used in 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, 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 worker, rather
than solely on hours worked. The worker also 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. The Web site also has a link to
the NCS job descriptions.
Census area divisions. Data are tabulated by census
divisions defined as follows: New England—Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and
Rhode Island; Middle Atlantic—New Jersey, New York,
and Pennsylvania; East North Central—Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin; West North Central—
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South
Dakota, and Nebraska; South Atlantic—Delaware,
District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia;
East South Central—Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi,
and Tennessee; West South Central—Arkansas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas; Mountain—Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah,
and Nevada; and Pacific—Washington, Oregon,
California, Hawaii, and Alaska. Some census divisions
include CMSAs and MSAs that cross State lines. The
Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City CMSA, which
consists of parts of Delaware and Maryland, is in the
Middle Atlantic Census Division.
Data reliability. The data in these tables are estimates from
a scientifically selected probability sample. There are two
types of errors possible in an estimate based on a sample

1 Number of workers represented by the survey are rounded
to the nearest 100. Estimates of the number of workers provide a
description of size and composition of the labor force included in
the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison
with other statistical series to measure employment trends or
levels. Both full-time and part-time workers were included in the
survey.
