Preface
This bulletin provides results of a March 1996 survey of occupational
pay and employee benefits in the St. Louis, MO—IL, Metropolitan
Statistical Area. This survey was conducted as part of the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics Occupational Compensation Survey Program. Data from
this program are for use in implementing the Federal Employees Pay
Comparability Act of 1990. The survey was conducted by the Bureau's
regional office in Kansas City, MO, under the direction of Stanley W.
Suchman, Assistant Regional Commissioner for Operations.
The survey could not have been conducted without the cooperation of

Introduction

Pay
The A-series tables provide estimates of straight-time weekly or hourly pay by
occupation. Tables A-1 through A-5 provide data for selected white- and bluecollar occupations common to a variety of industries. Tables A-6 through A-10
include similar information, but are limited to establishments employing 500
workers or more.
Occupational pay information is presented for all industries covered by the
survey and, where possible, for private industry (e.g., for goods- and serviceproducing industries) and for State and local governments. Within private
industry, more detailed information is presented to the extent that the survey
establishment sample can support such detail.

This survey of occupational pay and employee benefits in the St. Louis, MO—IL
Metropolitan Statistical Area (Clinton, Jersey, Madison, Monroe and St. Clair
County, IL; and Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln, St. Charles, St. Louis, and Warren
Counties, MO; and Sullivan city in Crawford County, MO and the city of St.
Louis, MO) was conducted as part of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Occupational Compensation Survey Program. The survey is one of a number
conducted annually in metropolitan areas throughout the United States. (See
listing of reports for other surveys at the end of this bulletin.)
A major objective of the Occupational Compensation Survey Program is to
describe the level and distribution of occupational pay in a variety of the Nation's
local labor markets, using a consistent survey approach. Another Program
objective is to provide information on the incidence of employee benefits among
and within local labor markets.
The Program develops information that is used for a variety of purposes,
including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and assistance in
determining business or plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S.
Department of Labor in making wage determinations under the Service Contract
Act, and by the President's Pay Agent (the Secretary of Labor and Directors of the
U.S. Office of Personnel Management and the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget) in determining local pay adjustments under the Federal Employee Pay
Comparability Act of 1990. This latter requirement resulted in: (1) Expanding the
survey's industrial coverage to include all private nonfarm establishments (except
households) employing 50 workers or more and to State and local governments and
(2) adding more professional, administrative, technical, and protective service
occupations to the surveys.

Establishment practices and benefit tables
The B-series tables provide information on paid holidays; paid vacations; and
insurance, health, and retirement plan provisions for full-time, white- and bluecollar employees.
Appendixes
Appendix A describes the concepts, methods, and coverage used in the
Occupational Compensation Survey Program. It also includes information on the
area's industrial composition and the reliability of occupational pay estimates.
Appendix B includes the descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify
workers in the survey occupations.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments,
attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not bonuses, under
cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and methods used to

compute means, medians, and middle ranges.

Less than 0.5 percent.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual intervals may not equal 100 percent. Dashes indicate that no data were reported
or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation or occupational levels may include data for categories not shown
separately.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments,
attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not bonuses, under
cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and methods used to

compute means, medians, and middle ranges.

Less than 0.5 percent.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual intervals may not equal 100 percent. Dashes indicate that no data were reported
or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation or occupational levels may include data for categories not shown
separately.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing
payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not
bonuses, under cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and

methods used to compute means, medians, and middle ranges.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments,
attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not bonuses, under
cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and methods used to

compute means, medians, and middle ranges.

Less than 0.5 percent.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual intervals may not equal 100 percent. Dashes indicate that no data were reported
or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation or occupational levels may include data for categories not shown
separately.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing
payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not
bonuses, under cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and

methods used to compute means, medians, and middle ranges.

Less than 0.5 percent.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual intervals may not equal 100 percent. Dashes indicate that no data were
reported or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation or occupational levels may include data for

Payments other than "length of time" are converted to an equivalent time basis; for example, 2 percent of
annual earnings was considered as 1 week’s pay. Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily
reflect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in proportions at 20 years include changes
between 15 and 20 years. Estimates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 weeks’ pay for 20
years include those eligible for at least 3 weeks’ pay after fewer years of service.

Appendix A.
Scope and Method
of Survey

Scope
This survey of the St. Louis, MO—IL Metropolitan Statistical Area covered
establishments employing 50 workers or more in goods producing industries
(mining, construction, and manufacturing); service producing industries
(transportation, communications, electric, gas, and sanitary services; wholesale
trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services industries); and
State and local governments.1 Private households, agriculture, the Federal
Government, and the self-employed were excluded from the survey. Table 1 in this
appendix shows the estimated number of establishments and workers within scope
of the survey and the number actually included in the survey sample.

designated occupations, the larger the establishment sample in that stratum. An
upward adjustment to the establishment sample size also was made in strata
expected to have relatively high sampling error for certain occupations, based on
previous survey experiences. (See section on "Reliability of estimates" below for
discussion of sampling error.)
Data collection and payroll reference
Data for the survey were obtained primarily by personal visits of the Bureau's
field economists to a sample of establishments within the St. Louis, MO—IL
Metropolitan Statistical Area. Collection for the survey was from January 1996
through June 1996 and reflects an average payroll reference month of March 1996.
Data obtained for a payroll period prior to the end of March 1996 were updated to
include general wage changes, if granted, scheduled to be effective through that
date.

Sampling frame
The list of establishments from which the survey sample was selected (the
sampling frame) was developed from the State unemployment insurance reports for
the St. Louis, MO—IL Metropolitan Statistical Area (March 1994). Establishments
with 50 workers or more during the sampling frame's reference period were
included in the survey sample even if they employed fewer than 50 workers at the
time of the survey.
The sampling frame was reviewed for completeness and accuracy prior to the
survey and, when necessary, corrections were made: Missing establishments were
added; out-of-business and out-of-scope establishments were removed; and
addresses, employment levels, industry classification, and other information were
updated.

Occupational pay
Occupational pay data are shown for full-time workers, i.e., those hired to work a
regular weekly schedule. Pay data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work
on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are bonuses and lump-sum
payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as
profit-sharing payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and
other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases—but not bonuses—under cost-ofliving allowance clauses and incentive payments, however, are included in the pay
data.
Unless otherwise indicated, the pay data following the job titles are for all
industries combined. Pay data for some of the occupations for all industries
combined (or for some industry divisions within the scope of the survey) are not
presented in the A-series tables because either (1) data did not provide statistically
reliable results, or (2) there was the possibility of disclosure of individual
establishment data. Pay data not shown separately for industry divisions are
included in data for all industries combined.

Survey design
The survey design includes classifying individual establishments into groups
(strata) based on industry and employment size, determining the size of the sample
for each group (stratum), and selecting an establishment sample from each stratum.
The establishment sample size in a stratum was determined by expected number of
employees to be found (based on previous occupational pay surveys) in
professional, administrative, technical, protective service, and clerical occupations.
In other words, the larger the number of employees expected to be found in
A-1

Some sampled establishments had a policy of not disclosing salary data for
certain employees. No adjustments were made to pay estimates for the survey as a
result of these missing data. In all but two of the occupational work levels
published in this bulletin, the proportion of employees for whom pay data were not
available was less than 5 percent. The two jobs were Personnel Specialist 2 (5.4
percent) and Personnel Assistant 3 (6.1 percent).

Average pay reflect areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in
pay levels and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each
job. Therefore, average pay may not reflect the pay differential among jobs within
individual establishments. A-series tables provide distributions of workers by pay
intervals
The mean is computed for each job by totaling the pay of all workers and
dividing by the number of workers. The median designates position—one-half of
the workers receive the same as or more and one-half receive the same as or less
than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay; one-fourth of
the workers earn the same as or less than the lower of these rates and one-fourth
earn the same as or more than the higher rate. Medians and middle ranges are not
provided when they do not meet reliability criteria.
Occupations surveyed are common to a variety of public and private industries,
and were selected from the following employment groups: (1) Professional and
administrative; (2) technical and protective service; (3) clerical; (4) maintenance
and toolroom; and (5) material movement and custodial.
Occupational
classification was based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take
account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. Occupations
selected for study are listed and described in appendix B, along with corresponding
occupational codes and titles from the 1980 edition of the Standard Occupational
Classification Manual. Job descriptions used to classify employees in this survey
usually are more generalized than those used in individual establishments to allow
for minor differences among establishments in specific duties performed.
Average weekly hours for professional, administrative, technical, protective
service, and clerical occupations refer to the standard workweek (rounded to the
nearest tenth of an hour) for which employees receive regular straight-time pay.
Average weekly pay for these occupations are rounded to the nearest dollar.
Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments
within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because
occupational structures among establishments differ, estimates of occupational
employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to
indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied.

Reliability of estimates
The data in this bulletin are estimates from a scientifically selected probability
sample. There are two types of errors possible in an estimate based on a sample
survey—sampling and nonsampling.
Sampling errors occur because observations come only from a sample, not the
entire population. The particular sample used in this survey is one of a number of
all possible samples of the same size that could have been selected using the
sample design. Estimates derived from the different samples would differ from
each other.
A measure of the variation among these differing estimates is called the standard
error or sampling error. It indicates the precision with which an estimate from a
particular sample approximates the average result of all possible samples. The
relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error divided by the estimate. For
example, if the estimated average weekly salary of Secretaries Level IV is $500
and the standard error is $8, the RSE is 1.6 percent, or $8/$500x100 = 1.6%.
Estimates of relative standard errors for this survey vary among the occupational
work levels depending on such factors as the frequency with which the job occurs,
the dispersion of salaries for the job, and the survey design. The distribution of
published work levels for one relative standard error was as follows:

Relative standard
error
Less than 1 percent
1 and under 3 percent
3 and under 5 percent
5 percent and over

Survey nonresponse
Data were not available from 18.0 percent of the sample establishments
(representing 117,238 employees covered by the survey). An additional 3.2
percent of the sample establishments (representing 23,160 employees) were either
out of business or outside the scope of the survey.
If data were not provided by a sample member, the weights (based on the
probability of selection in the sample) of responding sample establishments were
adjusted to account for the missing data. The weights for establishments which
were out of business or outside the scope of the survey were changed to zero.

Percent of published
occupational work levels
1.6
50.0
42.2
6.2

The standard error can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a
sample estimate. For example, a 95 percent confidence interval is centered at the
sample estimate and includes all values within 2 times the estimate's standard error.
If all possible samples were selected to estimate the population value, the interval
A-2

from each sample would include the true population value approximately 95
percent of the time.
Using the RSE example above, there is 95 percent confidence that the true
population value for Secretaries Level IV is between $484 and $516 (i.e., $500 plus
or minus 2 x $8).
Nonsampling errors can stem from many sources, such as inability to obtain
information from some establishments; difficulties with survey definitions;
inability of respondents to provide correct information; mistakes in recording or
coding the data obtained; and other errors of collection, response, coverage, and
estimation of missing data. Although not specifically measured, the survey's
nonsampling errors are expected to be minimal due to the high response rate, the
extensive and continuous training of field economists who gather survey data by
personal visit, careful screening of data at several levels of review, annual
evaluation of the suitability of job definitions, and thorough field testing of new or
revised job definitions.

Paid vacations (table B-2). Establishments reported their method of calculating
vacation pay (time basis, percent of annual pay, flat-sum payment, etc.) and the
amount of vacation pay provided. Vacation bonuses, vacation-savings plans, and
"extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic vacation plans were excluded.
Paid vacation provisions are expressed on a time basis. Vacation pay calculated
on other than a time basis is converted to its equivalent time period. Two percent
of annual pay, for example, is tabulated as 1 week's vacation pay. Paid vacation
provisions by length-of-service relate to all white-collar or blue-collar workers in
the establishment. Counts of these workers by actual length-of-service were not
obtained in the survey.
Insurance, health, and retirement plans (table B-3). Insurance, health, and
retirement plans include plans for which the employer pays either all or part of the
cost. The benefits may be underwritten by an insurance company, paid directly by
an employer or union, or provided by a health maintenance organization (HMO).
Workers provided the option of an insurance plan or an HMO are reported under
both types of plans. Federally required plans such as Social Security and Railroad
Retirement are excluded. Benefit plans legally required by State governments,
however, are included.
Life insurance includes formal plans providing indemnity (usually through an
insurance policy) in case of death of the covered worker.
Accidental death and dismemberment insurance is limited to plans which provide
benefit payments in case of death or loss of limb or sight as a direct result of an
accident.
Sickness and accident insurance includes only those plans which provide that
predetermined cash payments be made directly to employees who lose time from
work because of illness or injury, e.g., $200 week for up to 26 weeks of disability.
Sick leave plans are limited to formal plans2 which provide for continuing an
employee's pay during absence from work because of illness. Data collected
distinguish between (1) plans which provide full pay with no waiting period, and
(2) plans which either provide partial pay or require a waiting period.
Long-term disability insurance plans provide payments to totally disabled
employees upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sickness and accident
insurance, or after a predetermined period of disability (typically 6 months).
Payments are made until the end of the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for
retirement benefits. Full or partial payments are almost always reduced by Social
Security, workers' disability compensation, and private pension benefits payable to
the disabled employee.
Hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance provide at least partial payment
for: (1) Hospital room charges; (2) inpatient surgery; and (3) doctors' fees for
hospital, office, or home visits. Such benefits may be provided through either
independent health care providers or Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs).

Establishment practices and employee benefits
The incidence of selected establishment practices and employee benefits was
studied for full-time white- and blue-collar workers. White-collar workers include
professional, technical, and related occupations; executive, administrative, and
managerial occupations; sales occupations; and administrative support jobs,
including clerical. Blue-collar workers include precision production, craft, and
repair occupations; machine operators, assemblers, and inspectors; transportation
and material moving occupations; handlers, equipment cleaners, helpers, and
laborers; and service jobs, except private households. Part-time, seasonal, and
temporary employees are excluded from both the white- and blue-collar categories.
Employee benefit provisions which apply to a majority of the white- or
blue-collar workers in an establishment are considered to apply to all white- or
blue-collar workers in the establishment; a practice or provision is considered
nonexistent when it applies to less than a majority. Benefits are considered
applicable to employees currently eligible for the benefits. Retirement plans apply
to employees currently eligible for participation and also to those who will
eventually become eligible.
Paid holidays (table B-1). Holidays are included if workers who are not required to
work are paid for the time off and those required to work receive premium pay or
compensatory time off. They are included only if they are granted annually on a
formal basis (provided for in written form or established by custom). Holidays are
included even though in a particular year they fall on a nonworkday and employees
are not granted another day off.
Data are tabulated to show the percent of workers who (1) are granted specific
numbers of whole and half holidays and (2) are granted specified amounts of total
holiday time (whole and half holidays are aggregated) during the year.
A-3

Labor-management coverage
This survey collected the percent of workers covered by labor-management
agreements in this area. An establishment is considered to have an agreement
covering all white- or blue-collar workers if a majority of such workers is covered
by a labor-management agreement determining wages and salaries. Therefore, all
other white- or blue-collar workers are employed in establishments that either do
not have labor-management agreements in effect, or have agreements that apply to
fewer than half of their white- or blue collar workers. Because establishments with
fewer than 50 workers are excluded from the survey, estimates are not necessarily
representative of the extent to which all workers in the area may be covered by the
provisions of labor-management agreements.

Under PPOs, participants are free to choose any provider, but receive care at lower
costs if treatment is provided by designated hospitals, physicians, or dentists.
These plans typically cover other expenses such as outpatient surgery and
prescription drugs.
An HMO provides comprehensive medical care in return for pre-established fees.
Unlike insurance, HMOs cover routine preventive care as well as care required
because of an illness and do not have deductibles or coinsurance (although there
may be fixed copayments for selected services). HMOs may provide services
through their own facilities; through contracts with hospitals, physicians, and other
providers, such as individual practice associations (IPAs); or through a combination
of methods.
Dental care plans provide at least partial payment for routine dental care, such as
checkups and cleanings, fillings, and X-rays. Plans which provide benefits only for
oral surgery or other dental care required as the result of an accident are not
reported.
Vision care plans provide at least partial payment for routine eye examinations,
eyeglasses, or both.
Hearing care plans provide at least partial payment for hearing examinations,
hearing aids, or both.
Alcohol and drug abuse treatment plans provide at least partial payment for
institutional treatment (in a hospital or specialized facility) for addiction to alcohol
or drugs.
Retirement plans provide lifetime payments, a lump sum, or a limited number of
payments. Included are defined benefit plans in which the employer, promising to
pay the employee a specified amount at retirement, contributes at a rate sufficient
to fund these future payments. Defined contribution plans are those in which the
employer agrees to contribute a certain amount but does not guarantee how much
the plan will pay at retirement.

1 For this survey, an establishment is an economic unit which produces goods or services, a central
administrative office, or an auxiliary unit providing support services to a company. In manufacturing
industries, the establishment is usually at a single physical location. In service-producing industries, all
locations of an individual company in a Metropolitan Statistical Area are usually considered an
establishment. In government, an establishment is defined as all locations of a government entity.
2

An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the minimum number of
days of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave
allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

The St. Louis, MO-IL Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management
and Budget through June 1994, consists of Clinton, Jersey, Madison, Monroe, St. Clair County,
IL; and Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln, St. Charles, St. Louis, Warren County, MO; and the cities of
Sullivan in Crawford County, MO and St. Louis, MO. The "workers within scope of survey"
estimates provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor
force included in the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other
statistical series to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys
requires establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and
(2) establishments employing fewer than 50 workers are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2
The Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by
industry.
3
Includes all establishments with at least 50 total employees. In manufacturing, an
establishment is defined as a single physical location where industrial operations are performed.
In service producing industries, an establishment is defined as all locations of a company in the

area within the same industry division. In government, an establishment is generally defined as
all locations of a government entity.
4
Includes part-time, seasonal, temporary, and other workers excluded from separate whiteand blue-collar categories.
5
Separate data for this division are not shown in the A- and B-series tables. This division is
represented in the "all industries" and "goods producing" estimates.
6
Less than 0.5 percent.
7
Abbreviated to "Transportation and utilities" in the A-series tables. Separate data for this
division are not presented in the B-series tables, but the division is represented in the "all
