National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the West North Central Census Division, July 2010 U.S. Department of Labor Hilda L. Solis, Secretary U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Keith Hall, Commissioner May 2011 Bulletin 2755 Contents Overview Occupational earnings tables: West North Central Census Division, December 2009 — January 2011 (average reference date July 2010) Relative standard error (RSE) tables to accompany mean hourly, weekly, and annual earnings tables Appendix A: Technical note Appendix B: Survey occupations (PDF) Appendix C: Survey areas and geographic coverage 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 in the West North Central Census Division. These estimates are based on data collected from a sample of establishments within sampled localities in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota and are weighted to represent the Division as a whole. (See Appendix C for a list of the survey areas.) The estimates include pay for workers in major sectors of the U.S. economy in 2010—the civilian, private, and State and local government sectors—and by various occupational and establishment characteristics. The civilian sector, by NCS definition, excludes Federal government, agricultural, and household workers. For more information about these data and recent and historical NCS wage data, call the information line at (202) 691-6199 or send an email to [email protected]. Information is available to sensoryimpaired individuals on request, (Voice phone: (202) 691-5200; Federal Relay Service: 1 (800) 8778339). 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 the pay data included in this report. BLS thanks these respondents for their cooperation. Occupational earnings tables: West North Central Census Division, December 2009 – January 2011 (average reference date July 2010) The 2010 NCS West North Central Census Division bulletin includes occupational earnings tables 1—21; 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, service providing, 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 part-time workers by work levels. Table 5. Combined work levels for civilian workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and parttime 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 (or 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 6. Civilian workers: Hourly wage percentiles. Table 7. Private industry workers: Hourly wage percentiles. 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 workers. Employees are classified as full time or part time on the basis of definitions used by each establishment. Tables 2 through 5 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, by ownership sector. Table 11. Full-time civilian workers: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours. Table 12. Full-time private industry workers: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual 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. Table 14 shows 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. Tables 15 and 16 show estimates of mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for detailed occupations of full-time private industry workers in establishments with fewer than 100 workers and for those in establishments with 100 workers or more, respectively. Table 14. Size of establishment: Mean hourly earnings of workers in private industry establishments for major occupational groups. Table 15.

Private industry establishments with 100 workers or more: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours by occupation 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 sector as a whole, State and local government, and private industry, by major occupational group. (For more information on union workers, see Appendix A.) Table 17. Union and nonunion workers: Mean hourly earnings by ownership and major occupational group. Time and incentive workers. Time workers are workers whose wages are based solely on an hourly rate or salary. Incentive workers are workers whose wages are based at least partially on productivity payments, such as piece rates, commissions, and production bonuses. Table 18 provides hourly earnings estimates for workers in the civilian and private sectors who are paid based on time or an incentive. Table 18. Time and incentive workers: Mean hourly earnings for major occupational groups. Private industry sector.

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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 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 earnings are determined through collective bargaining. Earnings of time workers are based solely on hourly rate or salary; incentive workers are those whose earnings are at least partially based on productivity payments such as piece rates, commissions, and production bonuses. For more information, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 5 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 6 Estimates for goods-producing and service-providing industries are published for private industry only. The NCS uses the 2007 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) to determine the industry of each sampled establishment. NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria.

They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers, weighted by hours. 2 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. For more information, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook – – 5.0 5.2 16.7 – – 4.1 2.1 – of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 4 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Compensation Survey.

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 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. For more information, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 4 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Compensation Survey.

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 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. For more information, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook Relative error5 of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 4 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Compensation Survey.

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. See chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm, 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, weighted 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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Compensation Survey.

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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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.

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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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. Broad occupational groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Compensation Survey.

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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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.

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 NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 1.7% 3.0% 3.2 2.7 4.8 1.5 2.6 5.8 1.4 3.1 4.7 2.7 2.4 2.2 5.7 5.8 5.2 9.3 3.2 4.4 7.5 2.5 4.1 – 3.9 4.6 8.1 6.2 6.4% 5.3 6.7 6.3 3.1 9.4 16.2 6.2 6.4 – 5.0 12.9 9.1 15.4 7.2 3.6 11.1 1.9 2.3 5.5 1.8 4.4 – 7.5 2.3 3.8 3.0 2.3 6.5 1.8 5.8 3.5 9.6 3.3 11.9 – 9.1 7.5 6.9 19.8 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.

Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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, weighted by hours. 3 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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. Broad occupational groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Compensation Survey.

Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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, weighted by hours. 3 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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.

For more information, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 2 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings distribution at which 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.

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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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. 10.6 3.9 8.5 Weekly earnings5 Mean $688 600 480 545 461 589 480 Annual earnings6 Relative error4 Mean Relative error4 9.2% 4.0 8.6 10.6 $31,283 31,198 24,918 28,352 9.2% 4.0 8.6 10.6 11.9 7.3 8.4 23,932 30,616 24,942 11.9 7.3 8.4 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 5 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime. 6 Mean annual earnings are based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime.

Mean Relative error4 $11.81 15.48 12.02 10.6% 3.9 8.5 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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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.

It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For more information about RSEs, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 5 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime. 6 Mean annual earnings are based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime.

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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 5 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime. 6 Mean annual earnings are based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime. NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately.

Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 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, weighted 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 4 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime. 5 Mean annual earnings are based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime. NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately.

Number of workers represented by the survey. Appendix table 2. Survey establishment response. This section provides basic information on survey procedures and concepts. For a more 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 those who are 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. 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, including personal visit, telephone, and secure 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 55 (55-0000), military-specific occupations. Identification of the occupations for which wage data are to be collected is a multistep process: 1. Selection of establishment jobs by the NCS Probability Selection of Occupations (PSO) technique. Using this technique, the probability of selecting a given job is proportional to the number of workers in the job in the establishment. 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 an 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; 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 an occupation 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," online 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 metropolitan and micropolitan areas defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and a sample of counties located outside those defined areas. (For a list of all areas included in the 2010 West North 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 West North Central Census Division were compiled from locality data collected between December 2009 and January 2011. The average reference period is July 2010. 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) 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 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. 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 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: initial establishment nonresponse; initial occupational nonresponse; special situations (for example, a sample unit is one of two establishments owned by a given company and the company provides aggregate data for both locations instead of only the sampled unit); and benchmarking (poststratification) to ensure the data reflect the most recent industry-ownership employment counts in to private industry, State government, and local government sectors. Imputation. Participation in the NCS 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 for one or more occupations during a subsequent contact. For those situations in which previous wage data cannot be updated, information obtained from similar establishments and occupations is used to impute an estimate for the missing data. 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 groups 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 a series that has a large sampling error. Data reliability The data in this report are estimates from a scientifically selected probability sample and thus are subject to sampling error. The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error divided by the estimate. For more information on data reliability see page 9 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, chapter 8, "National Compensation Measures," on the Internet at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/homch8.pdf.

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.

program collects data in metropolitan and micropolitan areas defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and a sample of counties located outside those defined areas. See 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 in the National Compensation Survey. Data from areas within Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota were used to compile the estimates for the West North Central Census Division. An asterisk (*) denotes metropolitan areas that cross 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.
