              AVERAGE ANNUAL PAY BY STATE AND INDUSTRY, 2001
     

   The average annual pay of all workers covered by state and federal
unemployment insurance (UI) programs rose by 2.5 percent to $36,214 in
2001, according to preliminary data released today by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor.  This compares with a 
5.9 percent rise in 2000.  The annual pay of private industry workers,
comprising 84.3 percent of the nation's employment, grew by 2.3 percent in
2001, while pay for government workers rose by 3.6 percent.  In 2000, the
increase in pay for private sector workers was 6.3 percent and for government 
workers, 4.1 percent.
   
   This release provides the first annual data that use the 2002 version
of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the basis
for the assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry.  The NAICS
structure is significantly different than that of the 1987 Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC), system which had been used for industry
classification purposes until this year.  This difference results in NAICS-
based data that are not comparable with historical SIC-based data.  For
more information, see the Industry and the Change in Industry Classification 
Systems sections of this release.
   
   Pay growth for U.S. workers in 2001, at 2.5 percent, was the third lowest 
in the 1991-2001 period.  As the economy slowed in 2001, pay growth dropped 
below 3 percent for the first time since 1994.  Average annual pay for workers 
grew by 47.3 percent from 1991 to 2001, a gain of $11,636.  The attached 
tables contain pay data for the nation, each of the 50 states, the District of 
Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.  (Data for Puerto Rico and the 
Virgin Islands are not included in the national averages.)
   
   Annual pay data are compiled from reports submitted by employers subject
to state and federal unemployment insurance (UI) laws, covering 129.7
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.)  Pay
differences among states reflect the varying composition of employment by
occupation, industry, and hours of work, as well as other factors.  Pay
differences among industries are similarly affected.  For example, average
annual pay levels in retail trade industries are reduced by the relatively
large share of part-time workers.  Correspondingly, pay levels in construc-
tion industries reflect the prevalence of part-year employment due to weather 
and seasonal factors.  Over-the-year pay changes may reflect shifts in the 
composition of employment, as well as changes in the level of average pay.

                                  - 2 -

States
   
   Among the states, Connecticut had the highest average pay level
($46,963) in 2001, followed by New York ($46,664), Massachusetts ($44,976),
New Jersey ($44,285), and California ($41,358).  (See table 2.)  The 2001
pay levels of these five highest-ranking states, accounting for 25 percent
of the nation's employment, ranged from 14 to 30 percent higher than the
U.S. average.  Occupying the remaining top 10 pay positions for states
were, in order of 2001 pay levels, Illinois, Delaware, Maryland, Colorado,
and Washington.  Michigan, Virginia, and Minnesota also had pay levels
above the U.S. average.  Among the jurisdictions covered in this release,
the District of Columbia had the highest annual average pay level ($56,024).
   
   Among the states with annual pay below the U.S. average, Montana posted
the lowest average pay ($25,194) in 2001.  The next lowest pay levels were
in South Dakota ($25,600), North Dakota ($25,707), Mississippi ($25,919),
and Arkansas ($27,258).  These five states continued to have the lowest
average wages in the nation, as they have since 1988.  The 2001 average
annual pay figures for these states, which account for only 3 percent of
the nation's workers, were 25 to 30 percent below the national average.
Average annual pay levels for 37 states were below the U.S. average in 2001;
combined, workers in these states accounted for 56 percent of the nation's
covered employment.
   
   Overall, pay gains declined sharply in 2001 compared with the previous
year.  Annual pay grew by at least 4 percent in 30 states and the District 
of Columbia in 2000, whereas only 11 states and the District of Columbia 
reached this growth rate in 2001.  While 12 states posted pay increases of 
6 percent or higher in 2000, no states attained this level of growth in 2001.  
Only seven states and the District of Columbia experienced higher annual pay 
growth in 2001 than was experienced in 2000.  The seven states were Alabama, 
Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, North Dakota, and West Virginia.  In 
contrast, 41 states experienced higher annual pay growth rates in 2000 
compared with 1999 growth rates.
   
   On the high end of the growth scale in 2001, the District of Columbia and 
Delaware experienced the largest percentage increases in pay from 2000 to 
2001 (5.8 and 5.2 percent, respectively).  (See table 3.)  The next highest 
pay increase was registered in Maryland (5.1 percent), followed by Vermont 
(4.6 percent) and Louisiana (4.5 percent).  No state reported a decline in 
average annual pay in 2001.  Idaho registered the smallest increase in pay 
(0.2 percent).  Following Idaho were California (0.4 percent), Washington and 
Michigan (1.0 percent each), and Oregon (1.3 percent).  The 2001 growth rates 
for all of these states were lower than their pay growth in 2000.  California 
experienced the largest slowdown in pay growth among all the states, moving 
from a 9.6 percent increase in 2000 to a 0.4 percent increase in 2001.

Industry
   
   Industrial classification has changed significantly with the introduction 
of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).  While there 
were 9 major industry divisions in the private sector under the Standard 
Industrial Classification (SIC) system, there are 19 industrial sectors under 
NAICS.  The NAICS-based industry data for 2001 are not comparable to the 
SIC-based data for earlier years.  For example, retail trade accounted for 
21.2 percent of private sector employment under the SIC in 2000, whereas 
retail trade under NAICS accounts for only 13.9 percent of 2001 private

                                  - 3 -  

sector employment.  This large shift is not economic in nature, but is 
caused by the substantially different industrial classification principles 
found in the NAICS system.  (See the following section on the change in 
industry classification systems.)  Another example can be drawn from the 
services industry.  Under the SIC system, the services division accounted 
for over 34 percent of private sector employment.  This group no longer 
exists under NAICS.  Establishments formerly assigned to the SIC services 
division have been distributed across most of the sectors in the service-
providing domain.  For more information, see "Implementing the North American 
Industry Classification System at BLS" (http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2001/12/
art2full.pdf) and "A first look at employment and wages using NAICS" 
(http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2001/12/art3full.pdf) in the December 2001 issue 
of the Monthly Labor Review.

   Average annual pay levels for the nation varied widely by industry.
(See table 4.)  The highest average annual pay for 2001 was in the
management of companies and enterprises industry--$69,069.  Workers within 
management of companies and enterprises received pay that was 91 percent 
greater than the national average for all private sector workers in 2001.  
The next highest pay level was in utilities ($65,582), which was 81 percent 
higher than the average pay for all private industry workers.  The lowest 
pay level in 2001 occurred in accommodation and food services ($13,669).  
The pay level of workers in this industry was 62 percent below the national 
average for all private industry workers.
   
   The largest over-the-year percentage pay increase in the private sector was 
registered in the administrative and waste services industry (5.9 percent).  
The next largest increase was in finance and insurance (4.9 pecent), followed 
by health care and social assistance (4.6 percent) and educational services 
and construction (4.1 percent each).  Combined, these five sectors account 
for 32 percent of private industry employment.  The smallest pay gain among 
the 19 major private industry sectors occurred in professional and technical 
services (1.2 percent).  Two industries that experienced negative pay growth 
were information (-1.7 percent) and management of companies and enterprises 
(-0.6 percent).  The information industry is dominated by the telecommunica-
tions and information services groups.
   
   The average annual pay level for the public sector, which includes
federal, state, and local government establishments, was $36,510 in 2001,
1.0 percent higher than the $36,159 average pay level for the private
sector.  With the exception of the year 2000, private pay has been below
government pay since BLS first published these figures in 1982.  Public
sector pay was 0.2 percent lower than private sector pay in 2000, 2 percent
higher in 1999, 4 percent higher in 1998, and 10 percent higher in 1994.
Pay differentials between the public and private sectors reflect many
variables, including work activity and occupational structure.
   
   This is the first year since 1994 that average annual pay gains in the
government sector have outpaced those in the private sector.  In 2001, 
average annual pay in the public sector grew 3.6 percent compared with 
2.3 percent pay growth in the private sector.  Since 1996, pay has grown by 
18 percent in the public sector, 9 percentage points below the 27 percent 
growth rate in the private sector.  Over the past 10 years, average annual 
pay for government employees rose by 37 percent, while pay for private 
industry workers increased by 50 percent.

Change in Industry Classification Systems
   
   Beginning with the release of data for 2001, publications presenting data 
from the Covered Employment and Wages program use the 2002 version of the 
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the 
assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry.  NAICS is the product 
of a cooperative effort on the part of the statistical agencies of the United 
States, Canada, and Mexico.  Due to differences in NAICS and SIC structures, 
industry data for 2001 are not comparable to the SIC-based data for earlier 
years.
                                  
   NAICS uses a production-oriented approach to categorize economic units.
Units with similar production processes are classified in the same industry.  
NAICS focuses on how products and services are created, as opposed to the SIC 
focus on what is produced.  This approach yields significantly different 
industry groupings than those produced by the SIC approach.
   
   Data users will be able to work with new NAICS industrial groupings that 
better reflect the workings of the U.S. economy.  For example, a new industry 
sector called Information brings together units which turn information into a 
commodity with units which distribute that commodity.  Information's major 
components are publishing, broadcasting, telecommunications, information 
services, and data processing.  Under the SIC system, these units were spread 
across the manufacturing, communications, business services, and amusement 
services groups.  Another new sector of interest is Professional and technical 
services.  This sector is comprised of establishments engaged in activities 
where human capital is the major input.

   Users interested in more information about NAICS can access the Bureau
of Labor Statistics Web page at http://www.bls.gov/bls/NAICS.htm and the
Bureau of the Census Web page at http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html.

Service (NTIS) Web page at http://www.ntis.gov/.

 |    Average annual pay for 2001 and other data from the Covered       |
 |  Employment and Wages (CEW) program will be available on the BLS Web |
 |  site at http://www.bls.gov/cew/ in mid-October.                     |

Technical Note
   

   These data are the product of a federal-state cooperative program known
as Covered Employment and Wages (CEW), or the ES-202 program.  The data are
derived from summaries of employment and total pay of workers covered by
unemployment insurance (UI) legislation and provided by State Employment
Security Agencies (SESAs).  The summaries are a byproduct of the adminis-
tration of state unemployment insurance programs that require most employers 
to pay quarterly taxes based on the employment and wages of workers covered 
by UI.  Data for 2001 are preliminary and subject to revision.
   
   Effective January 2001, the CEW program began assigning Indian Tribal
Councils and related establishments to local government ownership.  This
action by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) was in response to a change 
in federal law dealing with the way Indian Tribes are treated under the 
Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA).  This law requires federally recognized 
Indian Tribes to be treated similarly to state and local governments.  In the 
past, the CEW program coded Indian Tribal Councils and related establishments 
in the private sector.  As a result of the new law, CEW data will reflect 
significant shifts in employment and wages between the private sector and 
local government from 2000 to 2001.  BLS incorporated this change in first
quarter 2001 data because of the immediate effectiveness of the law, signed
December 21, 2000.  Data will also reflect industry changes.  In addition
to the change to local government, the industry codes of federally
recognized Indian Tribal Councils were changed.  Those accounts previously
assigned to civic and social organizations were assigned to tribal
governments.  There were no required industry changes for related
establishments owned by these Tribal Councils.  These tribal business
establishments continued to be coded according to the economic activity 
of that entity.
     
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 employment and pay data included in
this release are derived from microdata summaries of 8.0 million employer 
reports of employment and wages submitted by states to BLS.  These reports 
are based on place of employment rather than place of residence.
   
   UI and UCFE coverage is broad and basically comparable from state to
state.  In 2001, UI and UCFE programs covered workers in 129.7 million
jobs.  The estimated 124.8 million workers in these jobs (after adjustment
for multiple jobholders) represented 99.7 percent of wage and salary
civilian employment.  Multiple jobholder estimates are produced by the
Current Population Survey.  Covered workers received $4.695 trillion in
pay, representing 94.8 percent of the wage and salary component of personal
income and 46.6 percent of the gross domestic product.
   
   Major exclusions from UI coverage during 2001 are self-employed workers, 
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 was computed by dividing total annual pay of
employees covered by UI programs by the average monthly number of these
employees.  In addition to salaries, average annual pay data include 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, and stock options.  Monthly employment is based 
on the number of workers who 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, corpora-
tion officials, executives, supervisory personnel, and clerical workers.  
Workers on paid vacations and part-time workers also are included.  Percent 
changes in average annual pay were computed using preliminary North American 
Industry Classification System (NAICS)-based 2000 data as the base.  These 
preliminary NAICS-based 2000 data will differ from the Standard Industrial 
Classification (SIC)-based 2000 data previously published.
   
   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.  Also, 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.
   
   In order to insure the highest possible quality of data, SESAs verify
with employers and update, if necessary, the industry, location, and
ownership classification of all establishments on a 3-year cycle.  Changes
in establishment classification codes resulting from the verification
process are introduced with the data reported for the first quarter of the
year.  Changes resulting from improved employer reporting also are introduced 
in the first quarter.  For these reasons, some data, especially at more 
detailed industry levels, may not be strictly comparable with earlier years.
   
   Data in table 4 are presented separately for the private sector and for
government.  Government data include federal, state, and local establishments.
   
   A few covered employers provided insufficient information on the nature
of their businesses to enable the SESA to assign a specific NAICS code.  
The establishments of these employers therefore could not be classified by 
industry sector.  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.
