ata shown in this bulletin were collected as part of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) National Compensation Survey (NCS). The survey could not have been
conducted without the cooperation of the many private
firms and government jurisdictions that provided pay data
included in this bulletin. The Bureau thanks these respondents for their cooperation.
Field economists of the Bureau of Labor Statistics 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.

Introduction

Table 2–1 presents estimates of mean hourly earnings,
and the relative standard errors associated with them, for
detailed occupations within all industries, private industry,
and State and local government. Table 2–2 presents the
same type of information for full-time workers only. Table
2–3 provides similar data for workers designated as parttime.
Table 3–1 provides mean weekly earnings data, with
relative standard errors, and weekly hours for full-time employees in specific occupations across all industries, private
industry, and State and local government. Table 3–2 provides annual earnings, relative standard errors, and annual
hours for full-time employees in specific occupations.
Table 4–1 provides mean hourly earnings data by work
level for occupational groups and for detailed occupations.
Separate data are also shown for private industry and government workers. Table 4–2 provides work level data for
full-time workers. Table 4–3 provides similar data for
workers designated as part-time.
Table 5–1 presents mean hourly earnings data for selected worker characteristics by major occupational groups.
The worker characteristics include full-time or part-time
designation, union or nonunion status, and time or incentive
pay. Table 5–2 presents mean hourly earnings data for
major industry divisions by occupational groups; these estimates are limited to the private sector. Table 5–3 presents mean hourly earnings data for establishment employment sizes by major occupational groups within the private
sector.
Tables 6–1 through 6–5 present hourly wage percentiles
that describe the distribution of hourly earnings for each
published occupation. Data are provided for the 10th,
25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles for detailed occupations within all industries, private industry, State and local
government, full-time workers, and part-time workers.
These iterations correspond to those presented in tables 2–
1, 2–2, and 2–3. For each published occupation, these percentiles relate to the average hourly earnings of jobs surveyed in establishments. The percentiles do not relate to
the hourly earnings of individual workers in these establishment jobs.
Appendix table 1 provides the number of workers represented by the survey by major occupational group. Appendix table 2 presents the number of establishments studied and represented by industry group and employment
size.
he tables in this bulletin summarize the NCS results for
the St. Louis, MO–IL, metropolitan area. Data were
collected between December 1999 and January 2001; the
average reference month is June 2000. Tabulations provide
information on earnings of workers in a variety of occupations and at different work levels. Also contained in this
bulletin are information on the program, a technical note
describing survey procedures, and several appendixes with
detailed information on occupational classifications and the
generic leveling methodology.
NCS products
The Bureau’s National Compensation Survey provides data
on occupational wages and employee benefits for localities,
broad geographic regions, and the Nation as a whole. The
Employment Cost Index, a quarterly measure of the change
in employer costs for wages and benefits, is derived from
the NCS. Another product, Employer Costs for Employee
Compensation, measures employers’ average hourly costs
for total compensation, that is, wages and benefits. Still
another NCS product measures the incidence of benefit
plans and their provisions. This bulletin is limited to data
on occupational wages and salaries.
About the tables
The tables that follow present data on straight-time occupational earnings, which include wages and salaries, incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. These
earnings exclude premium pay for overtime, vacations,
holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. About 480 detailed occupations are used to describe all occupations in
the civilian nonfarm economy (excluding the Federal Government and private households), as explained in Appendix
A. Data are not shown for any occupations if they would
raise concerns about the confidentiality of the survey respondents or if the data are insufficient to support reliable
estimates.
Table 1–1 presents an overview of all tables in this
bulletin. Mean hourly earnings, weekly hours, and relative
standard errors are given for all industries, private industry,
and State and local government for selected worker and
establishment characteristics. The worker characteristics
include major occupational group, full-time or part-time
status, union or nonunion status, and time or incentive pay.
Establishment characteristics include goods and service
producing and size of establishment.

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, 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 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 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover
all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B 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 due to staff reductions between survey sampling and collection.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria. IN THIS SURVEY, THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL INDUSTRIES AND
PRIVATE INDUSTRY EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS SHOULD INTERPRET THESE RESULTS WITH THIS
LIMITATION IN MIND.

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.
2 All workers include full-time and part-time workers.
3 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used
to cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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, and n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately. IN
THIS SURVEY, THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL INDUSTRIES AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS SHOULD INTERPRET THESE RESULTS
WITH THIS LIMITATION IN MIND.

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.
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 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used
to cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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, and n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately. IN
THIS SURVEY, THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL INDUSTRIES AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS SHOULD INTERPRET THESE RESULTS
WITH THIS LIMITATION IN MIND.

1 Earnings are the straight-time weekly 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.
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 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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.
5 Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a
week, exclusive of overtime.
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. IN THIS SURVEY,
THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL INDUSTRIES AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY
EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS SHOULD INTERPRET THESE RESULTS WITH THIS LIMITATION IN MIND.

1 Earnings are the straight-time annual 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.
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 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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.
5 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, and n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified. Overall occupational
groups may include data for categories not shown separately. IN THIS SURVEY,
THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL INDUSTRIES AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY
EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS SHOULD INTERPRET THESE RESULTS WITH THIS LIMITATION IN MIND.

1 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is
used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more
information.
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 appendixes C and D for more information.
3 All workers include full-time and part-time workers.
4 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.
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, and n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.
IN THIS SURVEY, THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL INDUSTRIES
AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS
FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS SHOULD INTERPRET
THESE RESULTS WITH THIS LIMITATION IN MIND.

1 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is
used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more
information.
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 appendixes C and D 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 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.
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, and n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.
IN THIS SURVEY, THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL INDUSTRIES
AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS
FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS SHOULD INTERPRET
THESE RESULTS WITH THIS LIMITATION IN MIND.

1 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is
used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more
information.
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 appendixes C and D 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 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.
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, and n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.
IN THIS SURVEY, THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL INDUSTRIES
AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS
FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS SHOULD INTERPRET
THESE RESULTS WITH THIS LIMITATION IN MIND.

4 Union workers are those whose wages are determined through
collective bargaining.
5 Time workers’ wages are based solely on an 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 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

1 Percentiles are calculated from average hourly wages for sampled
establishment jobs within each occupation. The percentiles describe the
distribution of an occupation’s employment by the average wage rates for
its jobs. For example, at the 10th percentile hourly wage for an
occupation, one-tenth of the occupation’s employment are found in
sampled establishment jobs whose average wages are the same or less,
and nine-tenths are in jobs averaging the same or more. The calculations
of the 25th, 50th, 75th, 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, holidays,
nonproduction bonuses, and tips.
2 All workers include full-time and part-time workers.
3 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations
is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for
more information.
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. IN THIS SURVEY, THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL
INDUSTRIES AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS
SHOULD INTERPRET THESE RESULTS WITH THIS LIMITATION IN
MIND.

1 Percentiles are calculated from average hourly wages for sampled
establishment jobs within each occupation. The percentiles describe the
distribution of an occupation’s employment by the average wage rates for
its jobs. For example, at the 10th percentile hourly wage for an
occupation, one-tenth of the occupation’s employment are found in
sampled establishment jobs whose average wages are the same or less,
and nine-tenths are in jobs averaging the same or more. The calculations
of the 25th, 50th, 75th, 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, holidays,
nonproduction bonuses, and tips.
2 All workers include full-time and part-time workers.
3 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations
is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for
more information.
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. IN THIS SURVEY, THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL
INDUSTRIES AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS
SHOULD INTERPRET THESE RESULTS WITH THIS LIMITATION IN
MIND.

1 Percentiles are calculated from average hourly wages for sampled
establishment jobs within each occupation. The percentiles describe the
distribution of an occupation’s employment by the average wage rates for
its jobs. For example, at the 10th percentile hourly wage for an
occupation, one-tenth of the occupation’s employment are found in
sampled establishment jobs whose average wages are the same or less,
and nine-tenths are in jobs averaging the same or more. The calculations
of the 25th, 50th, 75th, 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, holidays,
nonproduction bonuses, and tips.
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 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations
is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for
more information.
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. IN THIS SURVEY, THE NONRESPONSE RATE FOR ALL
INDUSTRIES AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY EXCEEDED REGULAR SURVEY STANDARDS FOR PUBLICATION. ACCORDINGLY, USERS
SHOULD INTERPRET THESE RESULTS WITH THIS LIMITATION IN
MIND.

Appendix A: Technical Note
T
his section provides basic information on the
procedures and concepts used to produce the data
contained in this bulletin. It is divided into three parts:
Planning for the survey; data collection; and processing
and analyzing the data. Although this section answers
some questions commonly asked by data users, it is not a
comprehensive description of all the steps required to
produce the data.
Sample design
The sample for this survey area was selected using a twostage stratified design with probability proportional to
employment sampling at each stage. The first stage of
sample selection was a probability sample of
establishments. The sample of establishments was drawn
by first stratifying the sampling frame by industry and
ownership.
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 it
represents similar units (by industry and employment size)
in the economy that were not selected for collection. See
appendix table 2 for a count of establishments in the survey
by employment size.
The second stage of sample
selection, detailed below, was a probability sample of
occupations within a sampled establishment.
Planning for the survey
The overall design of the survey includes questions of
scope, frame, and sample selection.
Survey scope
This survey covered establishments employing 50 workers
or more in goods-producing industries (mining,
construction and manufacturing); service-producing
industries (transportation, communications, electric, gas,
and sanitary services; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance,
insurance, and real estate; and services industries); and
State and local governments. Agriculture, private
households, and the Federal Government were excluded
from the scope of the survey. 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 St. Louis, MO–IL, Metropolitan Statistical Area
includes the city of St. Louis, the part of the city of
Sullivan in Crawford County, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln,
St. Charles, St. Louis, and Warren Counties, MO; and
Clinton, Jersey, Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair Counties,
IL.
Data collection
The collection of data from survey respondents required
detailed procedures. Field economists collected the data,
working out of the Regional Office and visiting each
establishment surveyed. Other contact methods, such as
mail and telephone, were used to follow-up and update
data.
Occupational selection and classification
Identification of the occupations for which wage data were
to be collected was a multistep process:
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 v. part-time,
union v. nonunion, and time v. incentive
4. Determination of the level of work of each job
Sampling frame
The list of establishments from which the survey sample
was selected (sampling frame) was developed from State
unemployment insurance reports. 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
sampling frame was reviewed prior to the survey and,
when necessary, missing establishments were added, outof-business and out-of-scope establishments were
removed, and addresses, employment levels, industry
classification, and other information were updated.
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.
A-1
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 number of jobs collected in each establishment was
based on an establishment’s employment size as shown in
the following schedule:
Number
of employees
Number
of selected jobs
50–99
100–249
250–999
1000–2,499
2,500+

20
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.
Each occupational classification is an element of a
broader classification known as a major occupational group
(MOG). Occupations can fall into any of the following
MOGs:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Professional specialty and technical
Executive, administrative, and managerial
Sales
Administrative support, including clerical
Precision production, craft, and repair
Machine operators, assemblers, and inspectors
Transportation and material moving
Handlers, equipment cleaners, helpers, and laborers
Service occupations
Appendix B contains a complete list of all individual
occupations, classified by the MOG to which they belong.
In step three, certain other job characteristics of the
chosen worker 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,
A-2
rather than solely on hours worked. Finally, the worker
was identified as being in a union job or a nonunion job.
See the “Definition of Terms” section on the following
page for more detail.
Generic leveling through point factor analysis
In the last step before wage data were collected, the work
level of each selected job was determined using a “generic
leveling” process. Generic leveling ranks and compares all
occupations randomly selected in an establishment using
the same criteria.
For this survey, the level of each occupation in an
establishment was determined by an analysis of each of 10
leveling factors. Nine of these factors are drawn from the
U.S. Government Office of Personnel Management’s
Factor Evaluation System, which is the underlying
structure for evaluation of General Schedule Federal
employees. The tenth factor, supervisory duties, attempts
to account for the effect of supervisory duties. It is
considered experimental. The 10 factors are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Knowledge
Supervision received
Guidelines
Complexity
Scope and effect
Personal contacts
Purpose of contacts
Physical demands
Work environment
Supervisory duties
Each factor contains a number of levels, and each level
has an associated written description and point value. The
number and range of points differ among the factors. For
each factor, an occupation was assigned a level based on
the written description that best matched the job. Within
each occupation, the points for nine factors (supervisory
duties was excluded) were recorded and totaled. The total
determines the overall level of the occupation.
A
description of the levels for each factor is shown in
appendix C.
Tabulations of levels of work for occupations in the
survey follow the Federal Government’s white-collar
General Schedule. Point ranges for each of the 15 levels
are shown in appendix D. It also includes an example of a
job with its associated leveling factors, and a guide to help
data users evaluate jobs in their firms
Wage data collected in prior surveys using the new
generic leveling method were evaluated by BLS
researchers using regression techniques. For each of the
major occupational groups, wages were compared to the 10
generic level factors (and levels within those factors). The
analysis showed that several of the generic level factors,
most notably knowledge and supervision received, had
strong explanatory power for wages. That is, as the levels
within a given factor increased, the wages also increased.

bonuses, or other incentives based on production or sales.
Collection period
Survey data were collected over a 13-month period for 60
metropolitan areas in the NCS program. For 20 small
metropolitan areas, data were collected over a 4-month
period. For each establishment in the survey, the data
reflect the establishment’s most recent information at the
time of collection. The payroll reference month shown in
the tables reflects the average date of this information for
all sample units.

and
Earnings
Earnings were defined as regular payments from the
employer to the employee as compensation for straighttime hourly work, or for any salaried work performed. The
following components were included as part of earnings:
•
•
•
•
•
Incentive pay, including commissions, production
bonuses, and piece rates
Cost-of-living allowances
Hazard pay
Payments of income deferred due to participation
in a salary reduction plan
Deadhead pay, defined as pay given to
transportation workers returning in a vehicle
without freight or passengers
The following forms of payments were not considered
part of straight-time earnings:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Shift differentials, defined as extra payment for
working a schedule that varies from the norm, such
as night or weekend work
Premium pay for overtime, holidays, and weekends
Bonuses not directly tied to production (such as
Christmas and profit-sharing bonuses)
Uniform and tool allowances
Free room and board
Payments made by third parties (for example,
bonuses given by manufacturers to department
store salespeople, referral incentives in real estate)
On-call pay
To calculate earnings for various periods (hourly,
weekly, and annual), data on work schedules also were
collected. For hourly workers, scheduled hours worked per
day and per week, exclusive of overtime, were recorded.
Annual weeks worked were determined. Because salaried
workers, exempt from overtime provisions, often work
beyond the assigned work schedule, their typical number of
hours actually worked was collected.
Definition of terms
Full-time worker. Any employee that the employer
considers to be full time.
Incentive worker. Any employee whose earnings are tied,
A-3
Nonunion worker. An employee in an occupation not
meeting the conditions for union coverage (see below).
Part-time worker. Any employee that the employer
considers to be part time.
Straight-time. Time worked at the standard rate of pay for
the job.
Time-based worker. Any employee whose earnings are
tied to an hourly rate or salary, and not to a specific level
of production.
Union worker. Any employee is in a union occupation
when all of the following conditions are met:
•
•
•
A labor organization is recognized as the
bargaining agent for all workers in the occupation
Wage and salary rates are determined through
collective bargaining or negotiations
Settlement terms, which must include earnings
provisions and may include benefit provisions, are
embodied in a signed, mutually binding collective
bargaining agreement
Processing and analyzing the data
Data were processed and analyzed at the Bureau’s National
Office following collection.
Weighting and nonresponse
Sample weights were calculated for each establishment and
occupation in the survey. These weights reflected the
relative size of the occupation within the establishment and
of the establishment within the sample universe. Weights
were used to aggregate the individual establishments or
occupations into the various data series. Some of the
establishments surveyed could not supply or refused to
supply information. If data were not provided by a sample
member, the weights of responding sample members in the
same or similar “cells” were adjusted to account for the
missing data. This technique assumes that the mean value
of the nonrespondents equals the mean value of the
respondents at some detailed “cell” level. Responding and
nonresponding establishments were classified into these
cells according to industry and employment size.
Responding and nonresponding occupations within
responding establishments were classified into cells that
were additionally defined by major occupation group and
job level.
Establishments that were determined to be out of
business or outside the scope of the survey had their
weights changed to zero. If only partial data were given by
a sample establishment or occupation, or data were
missing, the response was treated as a refusal.

occupation’s employment is in sampled establishment jobs
that had average hourly wages at the 10th percentile or less
for that occupation.
Note that the percentiles in earlier NCS bulletins for
this area (in the 3090 and 3095 bulletin series) were
calculated from individual-worker earnings rather than
from average wages for sampled establishment jobs.
Research has shown that using average-wage data for jobs
instead of individual-worker data has the effect of moving
percentile estimates toward the median (50th percentile).
This effect is greatest for occupations with a high degree of
wage dispersion. However, medians calculated using the
two methods are nearly identical.
129
Some surveys may have a high nonresponse rate for the
all industries or private industry iterations. Such instances
are noted in the bulletin table footnotes.
Estimation
The wage series in the tables are computed by combining
the wages for each sampled occupation. Before being
combined, individual wage rates are weighted by: the
number of workers; the sample weight, adjusted for
nonresponding establishments and other factors; and the
occupation’s scheduled hours of work.
Not all calculated series met the criteria for publication.
Before any series was published, it was reviewed to make
sure that the number of observations underlying it was
sufficient. This review prevented the publication of a
series that could have revealed information about a specific
establishment.
Estimates of the number of workers represent the total
in all establishments within the scope of the study, and not
the number actually surveyed. Because occupational
structures among establishments differ, estimates of the
number of workers obtained from the sample of
establishments serve to indicate only the relative
importance of the occupational groups studied.
Percentiles
The percentiles presented in tables 6–1 through 6–5 are
computed using average hourly wages for sampled
establishment jobs within each occupation. During this
phase of the ongoing NCS development, establishments in
the survey may report either individual-worker earnings or
average wage rates for each sampled job. If individualworker earnings are provided, an average hourly wage rate
is computed for the job and used in the calculation of
percentile estimates. The average hourly wages for each
sampled job are appropriately weighted and then arrayed
from lowest to highest.
The published 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th
percentiles describe the distribution of an occupation’s
employment by the average wage rates for its jobs. For
example, at the 10th percentile, 10 percent of a published
A-4
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. RSE data are
provided alongside the earnings data in the bulletin tables.
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 were $12.79, with a relative standard error
of 3.6 percent for this estimate. At the 90-percent level,
the confidence interval for the estimate is $13.55 to $12.03
(1.645 times 3.6 percent times $12.79 = $0.76, plus or
minus $12.79). 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 were not specifically
measured, the nonsampling errors were expected to be
minimal due to the extensive training of the field
economists who gathered the survey data by personal visit,
computer edits of the data, and detailed data review.

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 to other statistical series to measure employment
trends or levels. Both full-time and part-time workers were
included in the survey.
