National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Wages in the West South
Central Census Division, June 2006
U.S. Department of Labor
Elaine L. Chao, Secretary
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Philip L. Rones, Deputy Commissioner
September 2007
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
The National Compensation Survey program publishes occupational for each of the nine census divisions. Between 1997
and August 2006, the census division publications classified occupations under the Occupational Classification System
(OCS), based on the 1990 Census of Population, and identified establishments by the 1987 Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) system.
The census division publications have recently undergone a number of major changes. Beginning with these estimates, the
following changes have been introduced:
1.
The 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system
2.
The 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
3.
Imputation for temporary nonresponse situations
4.
Benchmarking of estimated employment
5.
New tables
New classification systems
The 2000 SOC system defines more than 800 detailed occupations and is designed to reflect the current occupational
structure in the United States better than previous occupational systems. Detailed occupations are combined into broad
occupations, broad occupations are combined into minor groups, and minor groups are then combined into major groups.
This design of several levels of aggregation is intended to meet the widely varying needs of data users. In addition, the
2002 NAICS system was used to classify establishments by industry.
Imputation for temporary nonresponse of establishments
For the first time, the census division program is imputing data for temporary nonresponse situations. The National
Compensation Survey is voluntary, and a company official may refuse to participate in the initial survey or may be
unwilling or unable to update previously collected data during a subsequent contact. For those situations where previous
wage data cannot be updated, an estimate for the missing data is imputed using information obtained from similar
establishments and occupations.
Benchmarking of estimated employment
Post stratification, also known as benchmarking, has been introduced to adjust survey sample weights so that these weights
reflect the current count of employment by industry. Initial weights are derived when the sample of establishments are
selected, reflecting employment distribution by industry at that time. Those weights may be up to 7 years old for the oldest
panel of five sample rotation panels at the time of publication. Benchmarking adjusts those weights to reflect the
employment distribution by industry for the reference date of the data.
New tables
In addition to presenting wage data classified according to the SOC, the census division publications have added the
following new tables:
•
Table that combines work levels into four bands -- levels 1 through 4, levels 5 through 8, levels 9 through 12, and
levels 13 through 15. The publication of combined levels is intended to make the wage estimates more useful to
compensation analysts.
•
Tables that present detailed occupational data by size of establishment--specifically, those with fewer than 100
workers and those with 100 or more workers.
•
Table with detailed occupational data for supervisory workers.
•
Hourly wage percentiles to describe the distribution of hourly earnings for individual workers within each
published occupation. Data are provided for the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles.
•
Hourly, weekly, and annual average wages for full-time workers in a single table.
•
Tables with detailed occupational data for hospitals.

Establishment characteristics
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, 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. See appendix A for more information.
2 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 appendix A.
3 Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a week,
exclusive of overtime.
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 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational
Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information.
6 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-providing
industries applies to private industry only. Industries are determined by the 2002 North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria.

are premium pay for overtime, vacations, 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. See appendix A for more information.
2 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 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is
evaluated based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and
complexity, contacts, and physical environment. The knowledge factor is tailored
to 24 families of closely related jobs. 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 appendix A for more information.
4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information.
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 appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet
publication criteria. 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, 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. See appendix A for more information.
2 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 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is
evaluated based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and
complexity, contacts, and physical environment. The knowledge factor is tailored
to 24 families of closely related jobs. 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 appendix A for more information.
4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information.
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 appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet
publication criteria. 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, 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. See appendix A for more information.
2 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 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is
evaluated based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and
complexity, contacts, and physical environment. The knowledge factor is tailored
to 24 families of closely related jobs. 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 appendix A for more information.
4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information.
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 appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet
publication criteria. Overall occupational groups may include data for categories
not shown separately

1 Combined work levels simplify the presentation of work levels by combining
levels 1 through 15 into four broad groups. Group I combines levels 1-4, group II
combines levels 5-8, group III combines levels 9-12, and group IV combines
levels 13-15.
2 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, 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. See appendix A for more information.
3 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 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information.
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 appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet
publication criteria. Overall occupational groups may include data for categories
not shown separately

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are
calculated from individual-worker earnings and the hours they are
scheduled to work. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours
are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the
same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth
of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the
75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate
shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly
wages are the straight-time 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.
2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more
information.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are
calculated from individual-worker earnings and the hours they are
scheduled to work. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours
are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the
same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth
of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the
75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate
shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly
wages are the straight-time 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.
2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are
calculated from individual-worker earnings and the hours they are
scheduled to work. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours
are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the
same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth
of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the
75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate
shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly
wages are the straight-time 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.
2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more
information.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not

1 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.
2 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are
calculated from individual-worker earnings and the hours they are
scheduled to work. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours
are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the
same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth
of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the
75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate
shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly
wages are the straight-time 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.
3 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more
information.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not
meet publication criteria. Overall occupational groups may include data
for categories not shown separately

1 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.
2 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are
calculated from individual-worker earnings and the hours they are
scheduled to work. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours
are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the
same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth
of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the
75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate
shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly
wages are the straight-time 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.
3 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more
information.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not
meet publication criteria. Overall occupational groups may include data
for categories not shown separately

1 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.
2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B 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, 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. See
appendix A for more information.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of
the hours are paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean weekly
hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a week, exclusive of
overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median annual earnings designates position - one-half of
the hours are paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean annual
hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a year, exclusive of
overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet
publication criteria. Overall occupational groups may include data for
categories not shown separately

1 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.
2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B 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, 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. See
appendix A for more information.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of
the hours are paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean weekly
hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a week, exclusive of
overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median annual earnings designates position - one-half of
the hours are paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean annual
hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a year, exclusive of
overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet
publication criteria. Overall occupational groups may include data for
categories not shown separately

1 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.
2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B 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, 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. See
appendix A for more information.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries
Annual earnings5
paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of
the hours are paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean weekly
hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a week, exclusive of
overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median annual earnings designates position - one-half of
the hours are paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean annual
hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a year, exclusive of
overtime.

1 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.
2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational
Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B 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, 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. See appendix A for more information.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an
employee is scheduled to work in a week, exclusive of overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an
employee is scheduled to work in a year, exclusive of overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet
publication criteria. Overall occupational groups may include data for categories not
shown separately

1 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.
2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational
Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B 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, 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. See appendix A for more information.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
Annual earnings5
employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an
employee is scheduled to work in a week, exclusive of overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an
employee is scheduled to work in a year, exclusive of overtime.

1 Union workers are those whose wages are determined through
collective bargaining.
2 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, 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. See
appendix A for more information.
3 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more
information.
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 appendix
A.

1 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.
2 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, 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.
See appendix A for more information.
3 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000
Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See
appendix B for more information.
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 appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that
data did not meet publication criteria.

Establishment characteristics
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, 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. See appendix A for more information.
2 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 appendix A.
3 Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a week,
exclusive of overtime.
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 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational
Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information.
6 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-providing
industries applies to private industry only. Industries are determined by the 2002 North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Technical Note
T
he data in these tables 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 West South Central Census Division,
the NCS studied 3,762establishments representing approximately 13,769,000 workers within the scope of the survey.
(See Appendix tables.) The survey included establishments
with one or more workers in private goods-producing
industries, private service-providing industries, State
governments; and local governments employing 50 or more
workers. 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. The employment
figures reflect for the first time post-stratification, to adjust
survey sample weights to reflect current employment by
industry. For more information, see the article at
www.bls.gov/opub/cwc/cm20070122ar01p1.htm.
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.
Amarillo, TX, MSA
Andrews County, TX
Austin-San Marcos, TX, MSA
Brownsville-Harlingen-San Benito, TX, MSA
Corpus Christi, TX, MSA
Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, CMSA
Gillespie County, TX
Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, TX, CMSA
New Orleans, LA, MSA
Oklahoma City, OK, MSA
Palo Pinto County, TX
Panola County, TX
Pope County, AR
Prairie County, AR
San Antonio, TX, MSA
St. Frances County, AR
Vermilion Parish, LA
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 that were not selected
for data collection.
The third stage of sample selection was a probability
sampling of occupations within a sampled establishment.
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 2005 and January 2007.
The average payroll reference month was June 2006. 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:
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 West
South Central Census Division are:

2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)
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
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 result of 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 standard error can be used to calculate a
“confidence interval” around a sample estimate. As an
example, suppose a table shows that mean hourly earnings
for all workers of $19.29 per hour and a relative standard
error of 1.2 percent for this estimate. At the 90-percent
level, the confidence interval for this estimate is from
$18.91 to $19.67 ($19.29 x 1.645 x 0.012 = $0.3808,
rounded to $0.38); ($19.29 - 0.38 = $18.91; $19.29 + 0.38
= $19.67). 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.
For each occupation, wage data were collected for those
workers whose jobs could be characterized by the criteria
identified in the last three steps. If a specific work level
could not be determined, wages were still collected.
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. NCS
now uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification
(SOC) system. A selected job may fall into any one of
about 800 occupational classifications, from accountant to
zoologist. For cases in which a job’s duties overlapped two
or more SOC classification codes, the duties used to set the
wage level were used to classify the job. Classification by
primary duties was the fallback.
Each occupational classification is an element of a
broader classification known as a major group.
Occupations can fall into any of 22 major groups (the
group 55-0000, Military Specific Occupations, is not
included). For more information on the SOC classification
system and a complete list of all occupations, see the BLS
Internet site www.bls.gov/soc/home.htm.
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. 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, matches certain aspects of a
job to specific levels of work with assigned point values.
Points for each factor are then totaled to determine the
overall work level for the job. For more information on
occupational leveling and an example of how to use the
criteria for leveling a job, see the publication “National
Compensation Survey: Guide for Evaluating Your Firm’s
Jobs and Pay,” available at the BLS Internet site
http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/sp/ncbr0004.pdf.
