Weekly earnings in 1985 :
a look at more than 200 occupations
EARL F. MELLOR
This summary presents 1985 annual average data on the
median weekly earnings of workers in more than 200 occupational categories . The data are obtained through the Current Population Survey (cps), a nationwide sample survey
conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by the Bureau
of the Census . Covered are wage and salary workers (excluding the incorporated self-employed) who usually work
full time (35 hours or more per week).
First published in 1982, this annual series is also available
in unpublished form back to 1979 .1 When making year-toyear comparisons, several caveats must be taken into account. One concerns the occupational classification system .
The present system, developed for the 1980 census, was
introduced into the cps in 1983 .2 Because the new classification system is vastly different from the previous one, 198385 data are not comparable with those available for 197982 .
Another caveat relates to the procedure currently used to
estimate median weekly earnings . Prior to 1983, medians
were estimated using the linear interpolation of $50- to
$100-wide intervals . Medians for 1983 and 1984 were initially estimated via the interpolation of $10-wide uncentered
intervals. This change was introduced to reduce a systematic
upward bias resulting from the use of wider uncentered
intervals for earnings data, which are subject to a high
incidence of rounding by cps respondents . In 1985, the
procedure was changed back to $50-wide intervals, but
these were centered on multiples of $50. This newer procedure lessens the sometimes erratic movements in medians
caused by having a large number of narrow intervals. The
data for 1983 and 1984 have been revised using the new
procedure and are available from BLS on request, but earlier
medians are still based on the old (pre-1983) procedures .
As in previous years, the data in table 1 are limited to
those occupations with at least 50,000 employed wage and

salary workers who usually work full time . The table presents median weekly earnings in 230 non-overlapping occupational groupings, and male-female comparisons are
shown for 85 such groupings.
Obviously, within each of the occupations shown, there
is likely to be a wide range of money earned among individual workers. This is because each occupational group still
has many different jobs for which data are not tallied separately . Each occupation has specialties with differences in
skill levels, market demand for the jobs, and other variables.
Also, workers in each specialty may have different duties,
responsibilities, work schedules, and job tenure .
In addition, caution must be used in interpreting differences between groups, particularly when either the number
of workers in a job category is small or there are comparatively small differences between earnings medians. This is
because the estimates are based on a sample and, accordingly, are subject to sampling errors .

r Data for 1981 appear in "1981 Weekly Earnings of Men and Women
Compared in 100 Occupations" (News Release, March 7, 1982) and in
Nancy F. Rytina, "Earnings of men and women: a look at specific occupations," Monthly Labor Review, April 1982, pp . 25-31. For 1982 data, see
Earl F. Mellor, "Investigating the differences in weekly earnings of women
and men," Monthly Labor Review, June 1984, pp . 17-28. For 1983 data,
see Earl F. Mellor, "Weekly earnings in 1983 : a look at more than 200
occupations," Monthly Labor Review, January 1985, pp . 54-59; however,
these data were subsequently revised . The revised data for 1983 and 1984
are available by either writing to the Bureau of Labor Statistics or calling
(202) 523-1371 . For more information on the nationwide sample survey
from which these earnings data were obtained, see Earl F. Mellor, Technical Description of the Quarterly Data on Weekly Earningsfrom the Current
Population Survey, Bulletin 2113 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1982), or

1986).
2 The system evolved from the Standard Occupational Classification
System which was adopted in 1977 and revised in 1980 . See Standard
Occupational Classification Manual (U .S . Department of Commerce, Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, 1980). The relationship
between the 1980 census system and the classification system is shown in
Census of Population: 1980, Classified Index of Industries and Occupations, Report Prtc80-R4, final ed . (U .S . Bureau of the Census, 1983).
3 For information on the standard error and other limitations of the data,
see Technical Description of the Quarterly Data on Weekly Earnings from
the Current Population Survey, Bulletin 2113 (Bureau of Labor Statistics,
1982). For information on other data series on earnings from the Current
Population Survey and other BLs surveys, see ins Measures of Compensation.
