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 New England
Census Division. These estimates are based on data collected from a sample of
establishments within sampled localities in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont 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 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 the pay data included in this report. BLS thanks
these respondents for their cooperation.
Occupational earnings tables: New England Census
Division, December 2009 – January 2011 (average
reference date July 2010)
The 2010 NCS New England 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.)

part-time 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 (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 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.

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.

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.)


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 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.


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 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.

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 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

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.

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 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

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.

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 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.

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. 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.

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are calculated
from individual worker earnings and the hours they are scheduled to work. For more
information, see chapter 8 of the 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.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately.

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are calculated
from individual worker earnings and the hours they are scheduled to work. For more
information, see chapter 8 of the 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.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately.

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are calculated
from individual worker earnings and the hours they are scheduled to work. For more
information, see chapter 8 of the 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.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately.

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are calculated
from individual worker earnings and the hours they are scheduled to work. For more
information, see chapter 8 of the Handbook of Methods, at

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

1 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.
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.

1 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.
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.

1 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.
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.

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. 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. 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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

1 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.
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
Mean
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.

1 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.
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.

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. 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 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.

Appendix table 1. Number of workers represented by the survey. (This table is located
at the end of Appendix A.)

Appendix table 2. Survey establishment response. (This table is located at the end of
Appendix A.)
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, and 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 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 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 New England 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 New England 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 proportion to the
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. Appendix table 1

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, for example, to
measure employment trends or levels.
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 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 industry, an establishment is usually a single
physical location. For State and local government, 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 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 Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, and Vermont were used to compile the estimates for the New England
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.
