Overview
The National Compensation Survey (NCS) provides comprehensive measures of occupational
earnings, compensation cost trends, benefit incidence, and detailed benefit provisions. This bulletin
presents estimates of occupational pay that originate from localities in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Ohio, and Wisconsin and are weighted to represent the East North Central Census Division as a
whole. (For a list of the localities surveyed, see appendix C.) The estimates include pay for workers
in major sectors of the U.S. economy in 2008 - the civilian, private, and State and local government
sectors, and by various occupational and establishment characteristics. The civilian economy, by
NCS definition, excludes Federal government, agricultural, and household workers.
Questions regarding these data and recent and historical NCS wage data can be addressed by
calling the information line at (202) 691-6199 or by e-mailing to NCSInfo@bls.gov. Information is
available to sensory-impaired individuals on request - Voice phone: (202) 691-5200; Federal Relay
Service: 1 (800) 877-8339). Data requests also may be sent by mail to the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Division of Compensation Data Analysis and Planning, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE,

Room 4175, Washington, DC 20212. Material in this publication is in the public domain and, with
appropriate credit, may be reproduced without permission.
U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) field economists collected and reviewed the survey data. The
Office of Compensation and Working Conditions, in cooperation with the Office of Field Operations
and the Office of Technology and Survey Processing, designed the survey, processed the data, and
prepared the survey for publication. The survey could not have been conducted without the
cooperation of the many private businesses and government jurisdictions that provided pay data
included in this report. BLS thanks these respondents for their cooperation.

Occupational earnings tables: East North Central Census Division,
December 2007 – January 2009 (average reference date July 2008)
The 2008 NCS East North Central Census Division bulletin includes occupational earnings tables 121; relative standard errors of the estimates for tables 11-13, 15-17, and 19-21; and appendix
tables 1 and 2. The relative standard error tables are titled and numbered to correspond to their
respective earnings-estimates tables. Appendix tables 1 and 2 are part of appendix A.
Summary table. Table 1 presents an overview of data reported in this bulletin. Mean hourly
earnings, weekly hours, and relative standard errors are given for civilian, private industry, and
State and local government workers by selected worker and establishment characteristics. Worker
characteristics include high-level and intermediate occupational aggregation, full-time and part-time
status, union and nonunion status, and time and incentive pay status. Establishment characteristics
include goods-producing industries, service-providing industries, and size of establishment.
Table 1. Summary: Mean hourly earnings and weekly hours for selected worker and
establishment characteristics.

Work levels. Work levels are standardized measures of duties and responsibilities that apply to all
occupations. The NCS designates 15 work levels; level 1 is the lowest and level 15 is the highest.
Tables 2 through 4 present average wages by work level. Table 5 shows average wages by
combined work levels. (For more information on how work levels are determined, see appendix A.)
Table 2. Civilian workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and part-time workers by work
levels.
Table 3. Private industry workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and part-time workers
by work levels.
Table 4. State and local government workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and parttime workers by work levels.
Table 5. Combined work levels for civilian workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and
part-time workers.

Percentiles. Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are calculated from
individual worker earnings and the hours those workers are scheduled to work. Tables 6 through 10
provide estimates on the mean hourly wage for the 10th percentile, the 25th percentile, the 50th
percentile (the median), the 75th percentile, and the 90th percentile of occupational wages, by
ownership sector and for full- and part-time workers within these sectors.

Table 8. State and local government workers: Hourly wage percentiles.
Table 9. Full-time civilian workers: Hourly wage percentiles.
Table 10. Part-time civilian workers: Hourly wage percentiles.

Full-time and part-time workers. Employees are classified as full time or part time on the basis
of definitions used by each establishment. Tables 2 through 5, above, provide mean hourly earnings
estimates for full-time and part-time workers by occupational group for the civilian sector, State and
local government, and private industry, by work level. Tables 11 through 13 provide occupational
mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings estimates, as well as mean weekly and
annual hours worked for full-time workers, by ownership sector.
Table 11. Full-time civilian workers: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings
and mean weekly and annual hours.
Table 12. Full-time private industry workers: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual
earnings and mean weekly and annual hours.
Table 13. Full-time State and local government workers: Mean and median hourly, weekly,
and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours.

Size of establishment. Estimates of mean hourly earnings for workers in major occupational
groups by size of private industry establishment—1-49 workers, 50-99 workers, 100-499 workers,
and 500 or more workers—are shown in table 14. Tables 15 and 16 show estimates of mean and
median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for full-time private
industry workers by detailed occupation in establishments with fewer than 100 workers and for
those in establishments with 100 workers or more, respectively.
Table 14. Size of establishment: Mean hourly earnings of workers in private industry
establishments for major occupational groups.

hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for full-time workers.
Table 16. Private industry establishments with 100 workers or more: Mean and median
hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for full-time workers.

Union and nonunion workers. Union workers are workers whose wages are determined through
collective bargaining. Table 17 provides mean hourly earnings of union and nonunion workers in the

civilian, State and local government, and private sectors, by major occupational group. (For more
information on union workers, see appendix A.)
Table 17. Union and nonunion workers: Mean hourly earnings by major sector and for
major occupational groups.

Time and incentive workers. Time workers are those whose wages are based solely on an hourly
rate or salary. Incentive workers are those whose wages are based at least partially on productivity
payments, such piece rates, commissions, or production bonuses. Table 18 provides hourly earnings
estimates for workers in the civilian and private sectors, who are paid on a time or an incentive
basis.
Table 18. Workers paid on time or incentive basis: Mean hourly earnings for civilian and
private industry workers in major occupational groups.

Private industry sector. Table 19 shows estimates of mean hourly earnings for workers, by
industry sector, for major occupational groups. Industry sectors meeting publication criteria in the
East North Central Census Division are: manufacturing, education and health services, leisure and
hospitality, and other services.
Table 19. Private industry sector: Mean hourly earnings for major occupational groups.
Hospitals. Hospitals include establishments matching NAICS code 622000: general medical and
surgical hospitals, psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals, and specialty (except psychiatric and
substance abuse) hospitals. Table 20 shows mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings
and mean weekly and annual hours, for full-time civilian workers in hospitals, by detailed
occupation and level.
Table 20. Civilian full-time workers in hospitals: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and
annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours by work levels.

Supervisory occupations. Table 21 includes estimates of mean and median weekly and annual
earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for workers with supervisory responsibility, in the
civilian sector.

Establishment characteristics

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
2 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
3 Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a week,
exclusive of overtime.
4 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Union workers are those whose
wages are determined through collective bargaining. Wages of time workers are based

solely on hourly rate or salary; incentive workers are those whose wages are at least
partially based on productivity payments such as piece rates, commissions, and
production bonuses.
5 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
6 Estimates for goods-producing and service-providing industries are published
for private industry only. Industries are determined by the 2007 North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS).
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
2 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
3 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated
based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts,

and physical environment. See appendix A for more information.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
2 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
3 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated
based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts,

and physical environment. See appendix A for more information.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
2 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
3 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated
based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts,

and physical environment. See appendix A for more information.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
2 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
3 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated
based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts,

23.95
–

and physical environment. See appendix A for more information.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Combined work levels simplify the presentation of work levels by combining
levels 1 through 15 into four broad groups. Group I combines levels 1-4, group II
combines levels 5-8, group III combines levels 9-12, and group IV combines levels
13-15.
2 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
3 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one

Relative
error5

establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
2 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
3 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are

paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
2 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
3 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are

paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.

1 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
2 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
3 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are

paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.

1 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
2 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
3 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in

a week, exclusive of overtime.
4 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall

1 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
2 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
3 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in

a week, exclusive of overtime.
4 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.
