State average annual pay for 1993 and 1994 and percent change States ranked by average annual pay for 1994, 1993 and 1994 States ranked by 1993 to 1994 growth in annual pay, 1993 and State and industry average annual pay for 1993 and 1994 and Technical information: Media contact: (202) 606-6567 606-5902 USDL 95-376 For release: 10:00 A.M. EDT Tuesday, September 19, 1995 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. - 3 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. Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request. Voice phone: 202-606-STAT; TDD phone: 202-606-5897; TDD message referral phone number: 1-800-326-2577.
