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. Material in the
bulletin is in the public domain and, with appropriate

he National Compensation Survey (NCS) provides
comprehensive measures of occupational earnings,
compensation cost trends, benefit incidence, and detailed
benefit provisions. 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 Pacific 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.

Occupational Wages in the Pacific
Census Division, January 2001

his bulletin provides January 2001 National Compensation Survey (NCS) estimates of occupational pay in
the Pacific census division. The bulletin highlights average
(mean) hourly pay for workers by seven characteristics:
•

ers in the smallest establishment-size category studied (1 to
99 employees) averaged $14.50.
Table 2 shows that workers in metropolitan areas averaged $17.63 per hour. Table 2 also shows 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 Pacific 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 $27.31 per hour (table 3). Registered nurses in
private industry averaged $27.27 (table 4), while their
counterparts in State and local government averaged
$27.42 per hour (table 5). Laborers, except construction,
averaged $9.95 in private industry and $16.15 in State and
local governments. Janitors and cleaners, a service
occupation, averaged $9.50 in the private industry and
$14.45 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 $7.69 for work level 1 to $64.11 for level 14.
Average earnings of blue-collar workers ranged from $8.02
for level 1 to $27.03 at level 9; service workers’ average
earnings ranged from $7.32 for level 1 to $32.96 for level
10. 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 Pacific 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 Pacific census division by employment size; more establishments were studied in the group
having 1 to 99 workers than in any other size category.

Wages in the Pacific census division averaged $17.64
per hour in January 2001. Workers in private industry in
the Pacific region averaged $16.52 per hour, while pay of
workers in State and local government averaged $23.70 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 $20.15 per hour; blue-collar workers averaged $14.30; and service workers, $9.20. Corresponding
averages in State and local government were $25.17,
$20.00, and $20.49. Generally, average hourly earnings
for private industry workers were lower than those for
State and local government workers. Part of this difference
can be explained by differences in the occupational and industrial mix of the two sectors. For example, professional
specialty and technical occupations are more prevalent in
State and local government than in private industry.
Conversely, few State and local government workers are in
goods-producing industries other than construction.
Full-time workers in the Pacific region averaged $18.65
per hour, while part-time workers averaged $10.47. In
private industry, full-time workers averaged $17.55 an
hour and part-time workers averaged $9.61. For workers
in State and local government, average hourly pay was
$24.34 and $17.17, respectively. Full-time or part-time
designation is based on the employer’s definition of those
terms.
Average hourly pay generally is higher for workers in
larger establishments. In the Pacific region, workers in
large establishments—that is, establishments with 2,500 or
more workers—had average hourly pay of $24.69. Work-

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, collection was conducted between March 2000 and
January 2002. The average reference period was January 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.

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 Metropolitan areas can be a Metropolitan Statistical Area or Consolidated
Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by the Office of Management and Budget,
1994. Nonmetropolitan areas are counties that do not fit the definitions above. For
more information, see Technical Note.
3 In this census division, collection was conducted between March 2000 and
January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.
4 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.
5 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.
6 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See Technical Note for more information.
7 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-producing
industries applies to private industry only.
8 Estimates include private establishments employing 1 to 99 workers and
State and local government establishments employing 50 to 99 workers.
9 Data are presented for eight census divisions. Average hourly earnings and
mean weekly hours previously published 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.

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 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
2002. The average reference period was January 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.

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, 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,

he data in this bulletin are based on the National Compensation Survey (NCS) conducted by the 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 indi-vidual localities when sufficient data meet
publication stan-dards. Agriculture, private households,
and the Federal Government are excluded from the scope
of the survey.
Survey scope. In the Pacific census division, the NCS
studied 2,587 establishments representing approximately
12,423,900 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.
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 Pacific region, data were collected between March
2000 and January 2002, with an average reference period
of January 2001.
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.
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 Pacific census
division are:
Occupational selection and classification. Identification
of the occupations for which wage data were collected was
a four-step process:
1.
2.
3.
4.
44
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
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.
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 or 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. 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. The Web site also has a link to
the NCS job descriptions.
