AVERAGE ANNUAL PAY BY STATE AND INDUSTRY, 1994
The average annual pay of all workers covered by State and Federal
Unemployment Insurance (UI) programs was $26,939 in 1994, a 2.2 percent
increase over the 1993 national average, according to preliminary data
released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor. The annual pay of private industry workers, who comprise 83.6
percent of the nation's employment, rose 2.2 percent in 1994, while pay for
government workers rose 2.5 percent. In 1993, the increase in pay for
government workers (3.1 percent) had outpaced that of private sector
employees (1.5 percent.)
Annual pay data are compiled from reports submitted by employers
subject to state UI laws, covering 112.6 million full- and part-time
workers. Average annual pay is computed by dividing total annual payrolls
of employees covered by UI programs by the average monthly number of these
employees. (See Technical Note beginning on page 3.) The attached tables
contain data for the nation, each of the 50 states, and the District of
Columbia.
States
The District of Columbia led the nation with an average annual pay
level of $40,919 in 1994. (See table 2.) The District of Columbia has
reported the highest average pay level since 1987. Connecticut had the
highest pay level among the states in 1994 ($33,811), followed by New
Jersey ($33,439), New York ($33,438), and Alaska ($32,657). The 1994 pay
levels of these five highest ranking jurisdictions ranged from 21 to 52
percent more than the U.S. average of $26,939. Since 1987, the same 10
states and the District of Columbia have held the top 11 pay level
positions, although there have been shifts in individual rankings. The
other six states in this listing were California, Delaware, Illinois,
Maryland, Massachusetts, and Michigan. Also, from 1988 until 1993, these
10 states and the District of Columbia were the only ones with average
annual pay exceeding the national average. In 1994, they were joined by
Pennsylvania, which exceeded the national average pay for the first time
since 1980.
South Dakota's average annual pay was the lowest among the states
during 1994--$19,255, followed by North Dakota ($19,893), Montana
($20,219), Mississippi ($20,382), and Arkansas ($20,898). These states
have posted the five lowest annual average pay figures every year since
1988. The 1994 average annual pay levels of the bottom five ranked states
were 22 to 29 percent less than the U.S. average of $26,939. Oklahoma
moved into the 10 lowest wage states for the first time since the Bureau of
Labor Statistics began publishing state annual wage data in 1979. Wyoming
entered the lowest bracket in 1992 and, in 1994, was the state with the
- 2 -
eighth lowest pay. Ten years earlier, Wyoming and Oklahoma ranked 15th and
21st, respectively, among the highest paying jurisdictions.
Michigan experienced the largest percentage increase in pay from 1993
to 1994 (4.5 percent), followed by the District of Columbia (4.4 percent)
and Alabama (3.6 percent). (See table 3). Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, and
South Dakota tied for the next highest increase (3.5 percent). A total of
15 states and the District of Columbia had increases of 3.0 percent or
higher. This was in contrast to 1993, when just three states and the
District of Columbia had such increases, and the highest was 3.3 percent.
For the seventh straight year, no state reported a decline in average
annual pay. Nevada's 0.9 percent increase in average annual pay was the
smallest for 1994. Alaska had the next smallest increase (1.0 percent),
followed by Vermont (1.1 percent) and Oklahoma (1.3 percent). California,
Montana, and Wyoming each had the next smallest increase, 1.4 percent.
Twenty-three states had percentage growth rates of less than 2.5 percent.
In comparison, 37 states fell below the 2.5 percent mark in 1993. However,
in 1990, only one state had an average pay increase of less than 2.5
percent, and in 1991 and 1992, all states had average wage growth exceeding
2.5 percent.
For the nation as a whole, the 2.2 percent increase in average annual
pay for 1994 was larger than the 1993 increase in average annual pay (1.8
percent), but otherwise was the lowest recorded for all other years since
the Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing annual average pay data in
1979. The largest recorded increase in national average annual pay was
9.2 percent, in both 1980 and 1981. (The annual pay data cited in this
release are not adjusted for inflation.)
Industry
Average annual pay levels for the nation varied widely by industry.
(See table 4.) The mining industry, which accounts for less than 1 percent
of private sector employment, had the highest average annual pay--$43,653.
The next highest pay level--$36,061--was in finance, insurance, and real
estate and was 17 percent lower than average pay in the mining industry.
The lowest average annual pay, $14,385, was in the retail trade industry,
which employs a large proportion of part-time workers. The average annual
pay level for the government sector, which includes local, state, and
federal government establishments, was $29,205.
Within the private sector, manufacturing had the largest percentage
increase in annual pay in 1994--3.5 percent. The next largest gain was in
mining (2.9 percent), followed by retail trade and wholesale trade, which
each posted 2.8 percent increases. The construction industry ranked fifth
of the eight major private industry divisions, with a 2.7 percent gain,
after ranking last among all divisions for 3 consecutive years. Pay growth
in government was 2.5 percent.
Annual pay for finance, insurance and real estate stagnated in 1994
with an increase of only 0.1 percent. This division had served as the
leader in percentage increases in both 1992 (12.3 percent) and 1993 (3.4
percent). Fourteen states recorded declines in annual average pay in
finance, insurance, and real estate in 1994, with New York State having the
largest decline, falling 2.8 percent. At the national level, services (1.8
percent) was the only other division to experience a pay increase of under
2.0 percent, and no industry divisions had a decrease in annual average pay.

Technical Note
These data are the product of a federal-state cooperative program in
which State Employment Security Agencies (SESAs) prepare summaries of
employment and total pay of workers covered by Unemployment Insurance
legislation. The summaries are a by-product of the administration of state
unemployment insurance (UI) programs that require most employers to pay
quarterly taxes based on the employment and wages of workers covered by UI.
Data for 1994 are preliminary and subject to revision.
Coverage
Employment and wage data for workers covered by state UI laws and for
federal civilian workers covered by the Unemployment Compensation for
Federal Employees (UCFE) program are compiled from quarterly contribution
reports submitted to the SESAs by employers. In addition to the quarterly
contribution reports, employers who operate multiple establishments within
a state complete a questionnaire, called the "Multiple Worksite Report,"
which provides detailed information on the location and industry of each of
their establishments. Average annual pay data are derived from summaries
of employment and wages submitted by states to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
UI and UCFE coverages are broad and basically comparable from state to
state. In 1994, UI and UCFE programs covered workers in 112.6 million jobs
representing 96.2 percent of wage and salary civilian employment. Covered
workers received $3.034 trillion in pay, representing 92.5 percent of the
wage and salary component of personal income and 45.0 percent of the gross
domestic product.
Major exclusions from UI coverage during 1994 included most
agricultural workers on small farms, all members of the Armed Forces,
elected officials in most states, most employees of railroads, some
domestic workers, most student workers at schools, and employees of certain
small nonprofit organizations.
Concepts and methodology
Average annual pay is computed by dividing total annual pay of
employees covered by UI programs by the average monthly number of these
employees. Included in the annual payroll data are bonuses, the cash value
of meals and lodging when supplied, tips and other gratuities, and, in some
states, employer contributions to certain deferred compensation plans such
as 401(k) plans. Monthly employment is based on the number of workers who
- 4 -
worked during or received pay for the pay period including the 12th of the
month. With few exceptions, all employees of covered firms are reported,
including production and sales workers, corporation officials, executives,
supervisory personnel, and clerical workers. Workers on paid vacations and
part-time workers also are included. Percentage changes in average annual
pay for 1994 were computed using final 1993 data as a base.
Average annual pay is affected by the ratio of full-time to part-time
workers as well as the number of individuals in high-paying and low-paying
occupations. When comparing average annual pay levels between industries
and/or states, these factors should be taken into consideration. Annual
pay data only approximate annual earnings, because an individual may not be
employed by the same employer all year or may work for more than one
employer. Year-to-year changes in average annual pay can result from a
change in the proportion of employment in high- and low- wage jobs, as well
as from changes in the level of average annual pay.
Data in table 4 are presented separately for the private sector and
for government. Average annual pay for employment in the private sector is
presented by industry division as defined in the 1987 Standard Industrial
Classification Manual. Government data include federal, state, local, and
international establishments.
A few covered employers provided insufficient information on the
nature of their businesses to assign a specific SIC classification and
therefore could not be classified by industry division. The wages for
these nonclassifiable establishments, along with data for the agricultural
division, are not shown separately, but are included in the averages for
state and national totals.
Additional statistics and other information
BLS issues two other regular reports which provide data from state UI
and UCFE programs. A news release on average annual pay for the nation's
metropolitan areas is scheduled to be issued in October. Also published
from this program is the comprehensive bulletin, Employment and Wages,
which features information by detailed industry on establishments,
employment, and wages for the nation and all states. The report, which is
due to be issued in late 1995, will be for sale from the Superintendent of
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.
