Preface
The National Compensation Survey (NCS) provides comprehensive measures of occupational earnings, compensation cost trends, and detailed benefit provisions. It integrates three Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) programs—the
Occupational Compensation Survey (OCS), the Employment
Cost Index (ECI), and the Employee Benefits Survey (EBS).
OCS provides data on occupational earnings; the ECI measures changes in labor costs, as well as average hourly
employer costs for employee compensation; and the EBS
provides information on detailed benefit provisions. When
fully integrated, the NCS will provide data on benefit costs
and provisions as well as wages. This bulletin, a product of
the first phase of the NCS, focuses on occupational earnings.
The NCS replaced the Occupational Compensation Survey (OCS) with the release of the 1997 data. The major difference between these two surveys is that the OCS 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 more fully represent the employment patterns and occupational mix of each locality.
This bulletin presents aggregate pay data from the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan local area surveys conducted
in the East North Central census division. (See Technical
Note). It provides estimates of occupational pay for the
census division, as well as selected data on worker and establishment characteristics.
NCS bulletins are published for each of the nine census
divisions: New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Cen-
tral, West North Central, South Atlantic, East South Central,
West South Central, Mountain, and Pacific. (See Technical
Note.) Data also are published for some individual localities,
as well as for the entire United States. The census division
publications may be useful to NCS data users in localities for
which separate data were not published.

The Bureau’s Office of Compensation and Working Conditions developed and produced this bulletin. The Directorate of Survey Processing coordinated the data file formation
and tabulations. Field economists from the Bureau’s regional
offices, under the direction of the Assistant Regional Commissioners for Operations, collected the survey data. The
Bureau thanks all survey respondents for their cooperation,
without which this bulletin would not have been possible.
The data presented in this bulletin also are displayed in a
Portable Document Format (PDF) on the BLS Internet site
(https://www.bls.gov/ocs/#data ). Material in the bulletin

Occupational Wages in the East
North Central Census Division, 1998
and local government, average hourly pay was $19.82 and
$12.16 respectively. Full-time or part-time designation is determined by the employer.
Workers in the largest establishments, those with 2,500
or more employees, earned $21.01 per hour. Workers in the
smallest establishments (50-99 employees) averaged $13.36.
Table 2 provides an overview of average pay data by
worker and establishment characteristics in metropolitan and
nonmetropolitan areas. For example, white-collar workers in
metropolitan areas averaged $20.09 per hour, blue-collar workers averaged $14.25, and service workers $9.78. Corresponding averages in nonmetropolitan areas were $17.14, $12.35,
and $9.06. See the Technical Note for definitions of metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas.
Among the nine census divisions, average earnings were
generally highest in the New England, Middle Atlantic, and
Pacific regions. Average earnings for all 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 are shown in tables 3, 4, and 5. These tables contain wage rates and mean weekly hours for individual occupations and for the major occupational groups. For example,
all registered nurses averaged $19.69 per hour (table 3). Registered nurses in private industry averaged $19.58 (table 4),
while their counterparts in State and local government averaged $20.41 per hour (table 5). Laborers, except construction, averaged $10.46 in private industry and $11.97 in State
and local government. Janitors and cleaners, a service occupation, averaged $9.15 in private industry and $ 11.35 in State
and local government.
Earnings by occupational group and work level are shown
in table 6. Earnings by occupational group and work level
are shown in table 6. In determining the work level, the Bureau applies a “generic leveling” technique to all occupationals selected during the collection process, using 10
criteria to level occupations. Use of this technique tends to
show higher pay at higher levels. For example, mean hourly
earnings for white-collar workers ranged from $6.93 at level 1
to $70.39 at level 15. For blue-collar workers mean hourly
earnings ranged from $8.30 at level 1 to $23.43 at level 9 (the
highest for that occupational group). Mean hourly earnings
for service workers ranged from $6.74 at level 1 to $24.98 at

Wages in the East North Central census division averaged $16.08 per hour during 1998. Workers in private industry in the East North Central region averaged $15.44 per hour,
while pay of workers in State and local government averaged
$19.32 per hour. The nationwide hourly average for all workers covered by the survey was $15.72.
Table 1 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 $19.08 per
hour; blue-collar workers averaged $13.77; and service workers, $7.87. Corresponding averages in State and local government were $22.13, $15.43, and $14.08. 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 proportionately more prevalent in State and local government
than in private industry. With the exception of the construction industry, few State and local government workers are in
goods-producing industries.
Full-time workers in the East North Central region averaged $16.84 per hour while part-time workers averaged $9.09.
In private industry, full-time workers averaged $16.22 an hour
and part-time workers averaged $8.71. For workers in State

Table A in the Technical Note shows the number of establishments studied in the East North Central census division by employment size; more establishments were studied
in the 100- to 499 worker group than in any other size cat-
egory. This table also shows the number of establishments
represented. Table B in the Technical Note shows the number of workers represented by the surveys in the East North
Central census division by major occupational groups, such
as professional specialty and technical, sales, and transportation and material moving.

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 January 1998 and
April 1999. The average reference period was September 1998.
3 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.
4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See Technical Note for more information.
5 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-producing
industries applies to private industry only.
6 Establishments classified with 50-99 workers may contain establishments
with fewer than 50 due to staff reductions between survey sampling and collection.
7 Data are presented for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area divisions as
well as 9 census area divisions. See Technical Note for a list of survey areas in
each census area division and the States comprising the 9 census area 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 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 January 1998 and
April 1999. The average reference period was September 1998.
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 Establishments classified with 50-99 workers may contain establishments
with fewer than 50 workers due to reduction in staff from the time of sampling to
data collection.
8 See Technical Note for a list of survey areas in each census area division and
the States comprising the 9 census area 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 All workers include 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 January 1998 and April
1999. The average reference period was September 1998.
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 All workers include 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 January 1998 and April
1999. The average reference period was September 1998.
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 All workers include 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.

1999. The average reference period was September 1998.
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,
weighted by hours.
4 In this census division, collection was conducted between January 1998 and April
1999. The average reference period was September 1998.
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.

Technical Note
The data in this bulletin are based on the National Compensation Survey (NCS) conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics 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 East North Central census division, the
NCS studied 3,537 establishments with 50 or more workers,1
representing 59,800 establishments within the scope of the
survey. (See table A.) The number of workers represented
by the survey 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 industry, an establishment is usually at a single physical location. For State and local government, 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 is March 1996.
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 its 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 collection.
The third stage of sample selection was a probability
sample of occupations within a sampled establishment. In
the East North Central census division, collection was conducted between January 1998 and April 1999 with an average reference period of September 1998. Additional information about the area sample and method of estimation is
available in the National Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 1998, Bulletin 2529.
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 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 East North
Central census division are:
1
Establishments classified as employing between 50 and 99 workers may include establishments with fewer than 50 workers because
staff reductions may have taken place between the time of sampling
and the time of data collection.
52
Occupational selection and classification. Identification
of the occupations for which wage data were collected was a
four-step process:
Data reliability. The data in this bulletin are estimates from
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 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 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 was
$15.09 per hour with a relative standard error of 0.6 percent
for this estimate. At the 90-percent level, the confidence
interval for this estimate is $15.24 to $14.94 ($15.09 x 1.645 x
0.006 = $0.149, rounded to $0.15); ($15.09 + .15 = $15.24;
$15.09 - .15 = $14.94). 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.
A Technical Reinterview Program done in all survey areas
will be used in the development of a formal quality assessment process to help compute nonsampling error. Although
they also 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.
1. Probability-proportional-to-size selection of establishment jobs
2. Classification of jobs into occupations based on the
Census of Population system
3. Characterization of jobs as full-time vs. part-time, union
vs. nonunion, and time vs. incentive
4. 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
National Compensation Survey 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. In
cases where 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 a generic leveling process. This process,
involving discussions between the Bureau’s field economist
and the respondent, ranks and compares all selected establishment occupations using 10 leveling factors. For more
information on generic leveling and an example of how to
use the criteria for leveling a job, see appendix C and appendix D at http://www.bls.gov/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality bulletins. This website also has a link to
the NCS job descriptions.

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.
2 A classification system including about 480 individual
occupations is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy.
For more information, see Technical Note.
3 In this census division, collection was conducted between
January 1998 and April 1999. The average reference period was
September 1998.
