The BLS Office of Compensation and Working Conditions developed and produced this bulletin. The Directorate of Survey Processing coordinated the data file formation and tabulations. Field economists from the BLS
regional offices, under the direction of the Assistant Regional Commissioners for Operations, collected the survey
data. BLS thanks all survey respondents for their cooperation, without which this bulletin would not have been possible.
The data presented in this bulletin also are displayed in
a Portable Document Format (PDF) on the BLS Internet
site at http://www.bls.gov/ncs/home.htm. Material in the
bulletin is in the public domain and, with appropriate

he National Compensation Survey (NCS) provides
comprehensive measures of occupational earnings,
compensation cost trends, benefit incidence, and detailed
benefit provisions. This bulletin focuses on occupational
earnings.
The NCS replaced the Occupational Compensation
Survey. The major difference between these two surveys
is that the Occupational Compensation Survey used the
same preselected list of occupations for all localities. The
NCS uses a probability-based sample of establishments and
occupations that are intended to represent more fully the
employment patterns and occupational mix of every
locality.
This bulletin presents aggregated pay data from the
metropolitan and nonmetropolitan local area surveys conducted in the East North Central census division. (See
Technical Note.) It provides estimates of occupational pay
for the census division, as well as selected data by worker
and establishment characteristics.
NCS bulletins are published for each of the nine census
divisions: New England, Middle Atlantic, East North
Central, West North Central, South Atlantic, East South
Central, West South Central, Mountain, and Pacific.

Central Census Division, 2000

his bulletin provides 2000 National Compensation
Survey (NCS) estimates of occupational pay in the
East North Central census division. The bulletin highlights average (mean) hourly pay for workers by seven
characteristics:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

$13.07. Table 2 provides an overview of average pay data
by worker and establishment characteristics in
metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. For example,
white-collar workers in metropolitan areas averaged $18.98
per hour, blue-collar workers averaged $14.43, and service
workers $9.70. Corresponding averages in nonmetropolitan areas were $18.37, $13.28, and $9.91. See the Technical Note for definitions of metropolitan and
nonmetropolitan areas.
Among the nine census divisions, average earnings
were generally highest in the New England, Middle
Atlantic, and Pacific regions. Average earnings for all
census divisions, and for other characteristics, can be seen
in tables 1 and 2.
Full-time, part-time, and combined average pay rates
for occupations in private industry and in State and local
governments are shown in tables 3, 4, and 5. These tables
contain wage rates and mean weekly hours for individual
occupations and for the major occupational groups. For
example, all registered nurses averaged $20.84 per hour
(table 3). Registered nurses in private industry averaged
$20.61 (table 4), while their counterparts in State and local
government averaged $22.26 per hour (table 5). Laborers,
except construction, averaged $10.52 in private industry
and $13.09 in State and local government. Janitors and
cleaners, a service occupation, averaged $9.06 in private
industry and $11.77 in State and local government.
Earnings by occupational group and work level are
shown in table 6. Generally, earnings increased as work
levels became higher. For example, mean hourly earnings
for white-collar workers ranged from $7.11 at level 1 to
$72.68 at level 15. For blue-collar workers mean hourly
earnings ranged from $8.44 at level 1 to $27.13 at level 10.
Mean hourly earnings for service workers ranged from
$6.87 at level 1 to $27.14 at level 10. The Bureau applies
an “occupational leveling” technique with 10 criteria to
determine the work level. The Technical Note has more
information on occupational leveling.
Table A in the Technical Note shows the number of
workers represented by the surveys in the East North
Central census division by major occupational group, such
as professional specialty and technical, sales, and transportation and material moving. Table B shows the number of
establishments studied in the East North Central census
division by employment size; more establishments were
studied in the group having 100 to 499 workers than in any
other size category.

Wages in the East North Central census division averaged $15.75 per hour during 2000. Workers in private industry in the East North Central region averaged $15.03
per hour, while pay of workers in State and local government averaged $20.91 per hour. The nationwide hourly
average for all workers covered by the survey was $15.80.
Table 1 provides an overview of average pay for workers in private industry and State and local government by
selected worker and establishment characteristics. For example, white-collar workers in private industry averaged
$17.93 per hour; blue-collar workers averaged $14.17; and
service workers, $8.43. Corresponding averages in State
and local government were $23.98, $16.54, and $15.09.
Generally, average hourly earnings for private industry
workers were lower than those for State and local government workers. Part of this difference can be explained by
differences in the occupational and industrial mix of the
two sectors. For example, professional specialty and technical occupations are more prevalent in State and local
government than in private industry. Conversely, few
State and local government workers are in goods-producing industries other than construction.
Full-time workers in the East North Central region averaged $16.55 per hour, while part-time workers averaged
$9.00. In private industry, full-time workers averaged
$15.84 an hour and part-time workers averaged $8.69. For
workers in State and local government, average hourly pay
was $21.39 and $13.22, respectively. Full-time or parttime designation is based on the employer’s definition of
those terms.
Workers in the largest establishments, those with 2,500
or more employees, earned $22.29 per hour. Workers in
the smallest establishments (1 to 99 employees) averaged

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, weighted by hours.
2 In this census division, collection was conducted between June 1999 and
April 2001. The average reference period was July 2000.
3 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 Technical Note.
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 480 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See Technical Note for more information.
6 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-producing
industries applies to private industry only.
7 Estimates include private establishments employing 1 to 99 workers and
State and local government establishments employing 50 to 99 workers.
8 Data are presented for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area divisions as
well as nine census divisions. See Technical Note for a list of survey areas in each
census division and the States comprising the nine census divisions.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or 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, weighted by hours.
2 Metropolitan areas can be a Metropolitan Statistical Area or Consolidated
Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by the Office of Management and Budget,
1994. Nonmetropolitan areas are counties that do not fit the definitions above. For
more information, see Technical Note.
3 In this census division, collection was conducted between June 1999 and
April 2001. The average reference period was July 2000.
4 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 Technical Note.
5 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.
6 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See Technical Note for more information.
7 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-producing
industries applies to private industry only.
8 Estimates include private establishments employing 1 to 99 workers and
State and local government establishments employing 50 to 99 workers.
9 See Technical Note for a list of survey areas in each census division and the
States comprising the nine census divisions.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or 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,
weighted by hours.
2 Total includes full-time and part-time workers. 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 In this census division, collection was conducted between June 1999 and April 2001.

The average reference period was July 2000.
4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all
workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note.
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 Technical Note.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." 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,
weighted by hours.
2 Total includes full-time and part-time workers. 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 In this census division, collection was conducted between June 1999 and April 2001.

The average reference period was July 2000.
4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all
workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note.
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 Technical Note.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." 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,
weighted by hours.
2 Total includes full-time and part-time workers. 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 In this census division, collection was conducted between June 1999 and April 2001.

The average reference period was July 2000.
4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all
workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note.
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 Technical Note.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall occupational groups may
include data for categories not shown separately.

1 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all
workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note.
2 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated based
on 10 factors, including knowledge, complexity, work environment, etc. Points are assigned
based on the occupation’s rank within each factor. The points are summed to determine the
overall level of the occupation. See the Technical Note 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,

weighted by hours.
4 In this census division, collection was conducted between June 1999 and April 2001.
The average reference period was July 2000.
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 Technical Note.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall occupational groups may
include data for categories not shown separately.

he data in this bulletin are based on the National Compensation Survey (NCS) conducted by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics throughout the year. The surveys are locality-based and cover establishments in private industry and
State and local governments. Bulletins are issued for individual localities when sufficient data meet publication standards. Agriculture, private households, and the Federal
Government are excluded from the scope of the survey.
Survey scope. In the East North Central census division,
the NCS studied 3,431 establishments representing approximately 16,137,900 workers within the scope of the survey.
Beginning with the 1999 NCS, private sector establishments with one or more workers are included in the survey.
State and local governments with 50 or more workers also
are included. The number of workers represented by the
survey is shown in table A, and the number of establishments is shown in table B. For purposes of this survey, an
establishment is an economic unit that produces goods or
services, a central administrative office, or an auxiliary unit
providing support services to a company. For private industries in this survey, the establishment is usually at a
single physical location. For State and local governments,
an establishment is defined as all locations of a government
entity.

In the second stage, the sample of establishments was
drawn by first stratifying the sampling frame by ownership
and industry. The number of sample establishments allocated to each stratum is approximately proportional to the
stratum employment. Each sampled establishment is selected within a stratum with a probability proportional to its
employment. Use of this technique means that the larger
an establishment’s employment, the greater the establishment’s chance of selection. Weights were applied to each
establishment when the data were tabulated so that the
establishment represents similar units (by industry and
employment size) in the economy that were not selected
for collection.
The third stage of sample selection was a probability
sample of occupations within a sampled establishment. In
the East North Central region, collection was conducted
between June 1999 and April 2001 with an average reference period of July 2000.

Sampling frame. The list of establishments from which the
survey sample was selected (sampling frame) was developed from the State unemployment insurance reports. The
reference month for the public sector is June 1994. Due to
the volatility of industries within the private sector, sampling frames were developed using the most recent month
of reference available at the time the sample was selected.
The reference month for the private sector varied by area.
Sample design and data collection. The sample for this
survey was selected using a three-stage design. The first
stage consisted of the selection of areas. The nationwide
NCS sample consists of 154 metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas that represent the Nation’s 326 metropolitan
statistical areas and the remaining portions of the 50 States.
Metropolitan areas are designated Metropolitan Statistical
Areas (MSA) or Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (CMSA), as defined in 1994 by the Office of Management and Budget. Nonmetropolitan areas are counties that
do not fit the metropolitan area definition.
The NCS locality areas that contribute to the East North
Central census division are:

Occupational selection and classification. Identification
of the occupations for which wage data were collected was
a four-step process:

from a sample and not from an entire population. The
sample used for this survey is one of a number of 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. Tables in this
bulletin provide RSE data for indicated series.
The relative standard error can be used to calculate a
“confidence interval” around a sample estimate. As an
example, suppose the mean hourly earnings for all workers
were $15.80 per hour with a relative standard error of 1.2
percent for this estimate. At the 90-percent level, the
confidence interval for this estimate is $15.49 to $16.11
($15.80 x 1.645 x 0.012 = $0.312, round to $0.31); ($15.80
- .31 = $15.49; $15.80 + .31 = $16.11). If all possible
samples were selected to estimate the population value, the
interval from each sample would include the true population value approximately 90 percent of the time.
Nonsampling errors also affect survey results. They
can stem from many sources, such as inability to obtain information for some establishments, difficulties with survey
definitions, inability of the respondents to provide correct
information, or mistakes in recording or coding the data
obtained. A Technical Reinterview Program done in all
survey areas will be used in the development of a formal
quality assessment process to help compute nonsampling
error. Although they also were not specifically measured,
efforts were made to minimize nonsampling errors by the
extensive training of field economists who gathered survey
data by personal visit, computer editing of the data, and
detailed data review.

Classification of jobs into occupations based on the
Census of Population system
Characterization of jobs as full-time vs. part-time,
union vs. nonunion, and time vs. incentive
Determination of the level of work of each job

For each occupation, wage data were collected for those
workers who met all the criteria identified in the last three
steps. Special procedures were developed for jobs for
which a correct classification or level could not be
determined.
In step one, the jobs to be sampled were selected at
each establishment by the BLS field economist during a
personal visit. A complete list of employees was used for
sampling, with each selected worker representing a job
within the establishment. As with the selection of establishments, the selection of a job was based on probability
proportional to its size in the establishment. The greater
the number of people working in a job in the establishment, the greater its chance of selection.
The second step of the process entailed classifying the
selected jobs into occupations based on their duties. The
National Compensation Survey occupational classification
system is based on the 1990 Census of Population. A selected job may fall into any one of about 480 occupational
classifications, from accountant to wood lathe operator.
For cases where a job’s duties overlapped two or more
census classification codes, the duties used to set the wage
level were used to classify the job. Classification by
primary duties was the fallback.
In step three, certain other job characteristics of the
chosen workers were identified. First, the worker was
identified as holding either a full-time or part-time job,
based on the establishment’s definition of those terms.
Then the worker was classified as having a time versus incentive job, depending on whether any part of pay was directly based on the actual production of the workers, rather
than solely on hours worked. Finally, the worker was identified as being in a union or a nonunion job.
The fourth step in the job classification procedure was
to determine the work level of each of the establishment's
selected jobs, using an “occupational leveling” process.
This process, involving discussions between the Bureau’s
field economist and the respondent, ranks and compares all
selected establishment occupations using 10 leveling
factors. For more information on occupational leveling
and an example of how to use the criteria for leveling a job,
see appendixes C and D of any published NCS locality
bulletin or http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm. The
Web site also has a link to the NCS job descriptions.

Census area divisions. Data are tabulated by census
divisions defined as follows: New England—Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and
Rhode Island; Middle Atlantic—New Jersey, New York,
and Pennsylvania; East North Central—Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin; West North Central—
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South
Dakota, and Nebraska; South Atlantic—Delaware,
District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia;
East South Central—Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi,
and Tennessee; West South Central—Arkansas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas; Mountain—Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah,
and Nevada; and Pacific—Washington, Oregon,
California, Hawaii, and Alaska. Some census divisions
include CMSAs and MSAs that cross State lines. In the
East North Central census division, the Cincinnati CMSA
includes parts of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Data reliability. 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
