Overview
The National Compensation Survey (NCS) provides comprehensive measures of occupational
earnings, compensation cost trends, benefit incidence, and detailed benefit provisions. This bulletin
presents estimates of occupational pay that originate from localities in Alabama, Kentucky,
Mississippi, and Tennessee and are weighted to represent the East South Central Census Division as a
whole. (For a list of the localities surveyed, see appendix C.) The estimates include pay for workers
in major sectors of the U.S. economy in 2008 - the civilian, private, and State and local government
sectors, and by various occupational and establishment characteristics. The civilian economy, by
NCS definition, excludes Federal government, agricultural, and household workers.
Questions regarding these data and recent and historical NCS wage data can be addressed by
calling the information line at (202) 691-6199 or by e-mailing to [email protected]. Information is
available to sensory-impaired individuals on request - Voice phone: (202) 691-5200; Federal Relay
Service: 1 (800) 877-8339). Data requests also may be sent by mail to the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Division of Compensation Data Analysis and Planning, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE,
Room 4175, Washington, DC 20212. Material in this publication is in the public domain and, with
appropriate credit, may be reproduced without permission.
U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) field economists collected and reviewed the survey data. The
Office of Compensation and Working Conditions, in cooperation with the Office of Field Operations
and the Office of Technology and Survey Processing, designed the survey, processed the data, and
prepared the survey for publication. The survey could not have been conducted without the
cooperation of the many private businesses and government jurisdictions that provided pay data
included in this report. BLS thanks these respondents for their cooperation.
Occupational earnings tables: East South Central Census Division,
December 2007 – January 2009 (average reference date July 2008)
The 2008 NCS East South Central Census Division bulletin includes occupational earnings tables 121; relative standard errors of the estimates for tables 11-13, 15-17, and 19-21; and appendix
tables 1 and 2. The relative standard error tables are titled and numbered to correspond to their
respective earnings-estimates tables. Appendix tables 1 and 2 are part of appendix A.
Summary table. Table 1 presents an overview of data reported in this bulletin. Mean hourly
earnings, weekly hours, and relative standard errors are given for civilian, private industry, and
State and local government workers by selected worker and establishment characteristics. Worker
characteristics include high-level and intermediate occupational aggregation, full-time and part-time
status, union and nonunion status, and time and incentive pay status. Establishment characteristics
include goods-producing industries, service-providing industries, and size of establishment.
Table 1. Summary: Mean hourly earnings and weekly hours for selected worker and
establishment characteristics.
Work levels. Work levels are standardized measures of duties and responsibilities that apply to all
occupations. The NCS designates 15 work levels; level 1 is the lowest and level 15 is the highest.
Tables 2 through 4 present average wages by work level. Table 5 shows average wages by
combined work levels. (For more information on how work levels are determined, see appendix A.)
Table 2. Civilian workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and part-time workers by work
levels.
Table 3. Private industry workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and part-time workers
by work levels.
Table 4. State and local government workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and parttime workers by work levels.
Table 5. Combined work levels for civilian workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and
part-time workers.
Percentiles. Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are calculated from
individual worker earnings and the hours those workers are scheduled to work. Tables 6 through 10
provide estimates on the mean hourly wage for the 10th percentile, the 25th percentile, the 50th
percentile (the median), the 75th percentile, and the 90th percentile of occupational wages, by
ownership sector and for full- and part-time workers within these sectors.

Table 8. State and local government workers: Hourly wage percentiles.
Table 9. Full-time civilian workers: Hourly wage percentiles.
Table 10. Part-time civilian workers: Hourly wage percentiles.
Full-time and part-time workers. Employees are classified as full-time or part-time on the basis
of definitions used by each establishment. Tables 2 through 5, above, provide mean hourly earnings
estimates for full-time and part-time workers by occupational group for the civilian sector, State and
local government, and private industry, by work level. Tables 11 through 13 provide occupational
mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings estimates, as well as mean weekly and
annual hours worked for full-time workers, by ownership sector.

earnings and mean weekly and annual hours.
Table 13. Full-time State and local government workers: Mean and median hourly, weekly,
and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours.
Size of establishment. Estimates of mean hourly earnings for workers in major occupational
groups by size of private industry establishment—1-49 workers, 50-99 workers, 100-499 workers,
and 500 or more workers—are shown in table 14. Tables 15 and 16 show estimates of mean and
median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for full-time private
industry workers by detailed occupation in establishments with fewer than 100 workers and for
those in establishments with 100 workers or more, respectively.

hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for full-time workers.
Table 16. Private industry establishments with 100 workers or more: Mean and median
hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for full-time workers.
Union and nonunion workers. Union workers are workers whose wages are determined through
collective bargaining. Table 17 provides mean hourly earnings of union and nonunion workers in the
civilian, State and local government, and private sectors, by major occupational group. (For more
information on union workers, see appendix A.)
Table 17. Union and nonunion workers: Mean hourly earnings by major sector and for
major occupational groups.
Time and incentive workers. Time workers are those whose wages are based solely on an hourly
rate or salary. Incentive workers are those whose wages are based at least partially on productivity
payments, such piece rates, commissions, or production bonuses. Table 18 provides hourly earnings
estimates for workers in the civilian and private sectors, who are paid on a time or an incentive
basis.
Table 18. Workers paid on time or incentive basis: Mean hourly earnings for civilian and
private industry workers in major occupational groups.
Private industry sector. Table 19 shows estimates of mean hourly earnings for workers, by
industry sector, for major occupational groups. Industry sectors meeting publication criteria in the
East South Central Census Division are: manufacturing, trade, transportation, and utilities, financial
activities, education and health services, and leisure and hospitality.
Table 19. Private industry sector: Mean hourly earnings for major occupational groups.
Hospitals. Hospitals include establishments matching NAICS code 622000: general medical and
surgical hospitals, psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals, and specialty (except psychiatric and
substance abuse) hospitals. Table 20 shows mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings
and mean weekly and annual hours, for full-time civilian workers in hospitals, by detailed
occupation and level.

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, weighed 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 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
6 Estimates for goods-producing and service-providing industries are published
for private industry only. Industries are determined by the 2007 North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS).
NOTE: Dashes indicate 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, weighed 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 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated
based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts,

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, weighed 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.

based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts,

and physical environment. See appendix A for more information.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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 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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed 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 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. See appendix A for more information.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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 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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
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 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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 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 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less 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 designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less 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 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 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less 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 designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less 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 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 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less 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 designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less 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 data did not meet publication criteria. Overall

1 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
3 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
4 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less 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 data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
3 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
4 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less 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 data did not meet publication criteria. Overall

1 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. See appendix A for more information.
2 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less 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 designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less 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 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 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
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 earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees.
6 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees.
NOTE: Dashes indicate 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 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
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 earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees.
6 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees.
NOTE: Dashes indicate 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 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. 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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
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 earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees.
6 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
3 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
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, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
3 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees.

Appendix A: Technical note
Appendix table 1. Number of workers represented by the survey. (TXT) (PDF 10K)
Appendix table 2. Survey establishment response. (TXT) (PDF 10K)
This section provides basic information on survey procedures and concepts. For a complete
description, see the BLS Handbook of Methods, Chapter 8, "National Compensation Measures," on
the Internet at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/homch8.pdf.
Survey scope
The NCS defines civilian workers as those who are employed in private industry or in State and local
government. Workers employed in the Federal government, the military, agriculture, private
households and the self-employed are excluded from the scope of the survey. For purposes of the
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 the survey, the establishment usually operates out of a single physical location. For
State and local governments, an establishment is defined as an agency or entity such as a school
district, hospital, or administrative body.
Sampling frame
The list of establishments from which the survey sample is selected (the sampling frame) is
developed from State unemployment insurance reports. Due to the volatility of industries within the
private sector, the most recent month of reference available at the time the sample is selected is
used to develop sampling frames. Approximately one-fifth of the private industry sample is
reselected each year. The sampling frame for State and local government establishments is revised
every 10 years.
Data collection
Field economists collect the data by contacting each establishment in the survey through a variety
of methods, such as a personal visit, telephone and secured email.
Industry classification
The NCS sample is classified by the 2007 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
For more detail on NAICS, see www.bls.gov/bls/naics.htm.
Occupational selection and classification
The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, as do all Federal
statistical agencies. See the entire list of SOC occupational categories at
www.bls.gov/soc/soc_majo.htm. Note that the NCS excludes major group 23 (23-0000), militaryspecific occupations.
Identification of the occupations for which data are to be collected is a multi-step process:
1.
Selection of establishment jobs by probability proportional to size
2.
Classification of jobs into occupations based on the SOC system
3.
Characterization of jobs as full-time or part-time, union or nonunion, and time or incentive
4.
Determination of the level of work of each job
Union workers. The NCS defines a union worker as any employee in a job represented by a union
when all of the following conditions are met: a labor organization is recognized as the bargaining
agent for all workers in the job; wage and salary rates are determined through collective bargaining
or negotiations; and settlement terms, which must include earnings provisions and may include
benefit provisions, are embodied in a signed, mutually binding collective bargaining agreement. A
nonunion worker is an employee in a job not meeting the conditions for union coverage.
Supervisory occupations. Supervisors usually assign and review the work of subordinates. Typically,
supervisors have the authority to hire, transfer, lay off, promote, reward, and discipline other
employees. By NCS definitions, first-line supervisors direct their staff through face-to-face meetings
and are responsible for conducting the employees' performance appraisals. Second-line supervisors
typically direct the actions of their staffs through first-line supervisors.
Work levels. Work levels are a ranking of the duties and responsibilities within an occupation, and
these levels permit comparisons of wages across occupations. Work levels are determined by the
total number of points given for specific aspects, or factors, of the work. For a complete description
of point factor leveling, refer to the publication "National Compensation Survey: Guide for
Evaluating Your Firm's Jobs and Pay," on the Internet at www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/sp/ncbr0004.pdf.
This bulletin includes earnings estimates by work level. It also includes a table that simplifies the
presentation of work levels by combining them into four broad groups. The groups are determined
by combinations of knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts, physical environment, and
supervisory duties and are meant to be comparable across different occupations.
Areas surveyed
The NCS program collects data in geographic areas defined by the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). (For a list of all areas included in the 2008 East South Central Census Division
earnings estimates, see appendix C.)
Collection period
Survey data were collected over a 13-month period for the 87 larger areas; for the 140 smaller
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 data for the East
South Central Census Division bulletin were compiled from locality data collected between
December 2007 and January 2009. The average reference period was July 2008.
Earnings
Earnings are defined as regular payments from the employer to the employee as compensation for
straight-time hourly work or for any salaried work performed. The following components are
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 are not considered straight-time earnings:
• Uniform and tool allowances
• Free or subsidized room and board
• Payments made by third parties (for example, tips)
• On-call pay
The following forms of payments are considered benefits and not 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)
The number of weeks worked annually is determined as well. Because salaried workers who are
exempt from overtime provisions often work beyond the assigned work schedule, the typical
number of hours they actually worked is collected.
Work Schedules
To calculate earnings for various periods (hourly, weekly, and annual), the NCS collects data on
work schedules, including the hours worked per day and per week, and the number of weeks
worked annually. For hourly workers, scheduled hours worked per day and per week, exclusive of
overtime, are recorded. For salaried workers, field economists record the typical number of hours
actually worked because those exempt from overtime provisions often work beyond the assigned
work schedule.
The earnings estimates for aircraft pilots, flight engineers, and flight attendants include flight pay
and flight hours only; these estimates may not reflect the total earnings and hours worked. For
more information on work schedules, see: http://www.bls.gov/opub/cwc/cm20080722ar01p1.htm.
Estimation, weighting, and nonresponse
The wage series in the tables are computed by combining the wages for each occupation sampled.
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. The sample weight reflects the inverse of each unit's probability of
selection at each sample selection stage and four weight adjustment factors:
1. The first factor adjusts for initial establishment nonresponse.
2. The second factor adjusts for initial occupational nonresponse.
3. The third factor adjusts for any special situations that may have occurred during data
collection.
4. The fourth factor, poststratification, or benchmarking, is the adjustment of employment
weights to insure that the survey data reflect industry ownership employment counts in
proportions consistent with the private industry, State government, and local government
sectors at the time of collection.
Imputation. The National Compensation Survey is voluntary, so 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 one or more occupations. For those situations in which previous
wage data cannot be updated, an estimate for the missing data is imputed, using information
obtained from similar establishments and occupations.
Employment counts. Occupational structures differ among establishments; therefore the number of
workers surveyed by the NCS, and the total number of workers represented by the survey that is
given in appendix table 1, are not intended to convey an accurate employment count; rather, they
indicate only the relative importance of the occupational group studied in the survey.
Publication criteria. Not all calculated series meet the criteria for publication. Before any series is
published, it is reviewed to make sure it meets specified statistical reliability and confidentiality
criteria. This review prevents the publication of a series that could reveal information about a
specific establishment or has a large sampling error.
Data reliability
The data in this report are estimates from a scientifically selected probability sample. Two types of
errors are possible in an estimate based on a sample survey: sampling errors and nonsampling
errors.
Sampling errors occur because observations come only from a sample and not from an entire
population. The sample used for the NCS is one of a number of possible samples of the same size
that could have been selected under the sample design. Estimates derived from the different
samples would differ from one another. The standard error, or sampling error, is a measure of the
variation among these differing estimates that 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 many of the presented tables in this report. The relative standard error can be used
to calculate a confidence interval around a sample estimate. For example, if the mean hourly
earnings for all civilian, full-time workers is $20.62 per hour and the relative standard error is 0.7
percent, at the 90-percent level, the confidence interval for this estimate is from $20.38 to $20.86
($20.62 × 1.645 × 0.007 = $0.2374393, rounded to $0.24; $20.62 − 0.24 = $20.38; $20.62 +
0.24 = $20.86). In other words, 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 and 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, and mistakes in recording or coding the data
obtained. Although not specifically measured for this report, the nonsampling errors were expected
to be minimal due to the extensive training of the field economists who gathered the survey data, to
computer edits of the data, and to a detailed data review.

1 The 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 to other statistical series to measure
employment trends or levels.
2 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is
used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more
information.

1 The list of establishments from which the survey sample was selected
(sampling frame) was developed from State unemployment insurance
reports and is based on the 2007 North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). For private industries, an establishment is usually a single
physical location. For State and local governments, an establishment is
defined as all locations of a government entity.

Appendix B. Standard Occupational
Classification System
The Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system is used by all Federal statistical agencies. Workers are classified into one of approximately 800 detailed occupations. To facilitate classification, occupations are combined to form
major groups, minor groups, and broad occupations. Each item in the hierarchy is designated by a six-digit code. Major group codes end with 0000, minor groups end with 000, and broad occupations end with 0. The following list is
used by the National Compensation Survey (NCS) for publication.

Appendix C: Survey areas and geographic coverage
The NCS uses Office of Management and Budget (OMB) area definitions in selecting areas for the
survey. See http://www.census.gov/population/www/estimates/metrodef.html for a list of current
and historical OMB definitions.
This appendix lists the 227 geographic areas surveyed under the National Compensation Survey.
Data from areas within Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee were used to compile the
estimates for the East South Central Census Division. An asterisk (*) denotes metropolitan areas
that include counties in States within different Census divisions. For these metropolitan areas, data
are divided by county among the respective States and contribute to the estimates of the
appropriate Census division.
