National Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the New England Census Division, June 2006 U.S. Department of Labor Elaine L. Chao, Secretary U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Philip L. Rones, Deputy Commissioner September 2007 SUMMARY OF CHANGES The National Compensation Survey program publishes occupational for each of the nine census divisions. Between 1997 and August 2006, the census division publications classified occupations under the Occupational Classification System (OCS), based on the 1990 Census of Population, and identified establishments by the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. The census division publications have recently undergone a number of major changes. Beginning with these estimates, the following changes have been introduced: 1. The 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system 2. The 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 3. Imputation for temporary nonresponse situations 4. Benchmarking of estimated employment 5. New tables New classification systems The 2000 SOC system defines more than 800 detailed occupations and is designed to reflect the current occupational structure in the United States better than previous occupational systems. Detailed occupations are combined into broad occupations, broad occupations are combined into minor groups, and minor groups are then combined into major groups. This design of several levels of aggregation is intended to meet the widely varying needs of data users. In addition, the 2002 NAICS system was used to classify establishments by industry. Imputation for temporary nonresponse of establishments For the first time, the census division program is imputing data for temporary nonresponse situations. The National Compensation Survey is voluntary, and a company official may refuse to participate in the initial survey or may be unwilling or unable to update previously collected data during a subsequent contact. For those situations where previous wage data cannot be updated, an estimate for the missing data is imputed using information obtained from similar establishments and occupations. Benchmarking of estimated employment Post stratification, also known as benchmarking, has been introduced to adjust survey sample weights so that these weights reflect the current count of employment by industry. Initial weights are derived when the sample of establishments are selected, reflecting employment distribution by industry at that time. Those weights may be up to 7 years old for the oldest panel of five sample rotation panels at the time of publication. Benchmarking adjusts those weights to reflect the employment distribution by industry for the reference date of the data. New tables In addition to presenting wage data classified according to the SOC, the census division publications have added the following new tables: • Table that combines work levels into four bands -- levels 1 through 4, levels 5 through 8, levels 9 through 12, and levels 13 through 15. The publication of combined levels is intended to make the wage estimates more useful to compensation analysts. • Tables that present detailed occupational data by size of establishment--specifically, those with fewer than 100 workers and those with 100 or more workers. • Table with detailed occupational data for supervisory workers. • Hourly wage percentiles to describe the distribution of hourly earnings for individual workers within each published occupation. Data are provided for the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. • Hourly, weekly, and annual average wages for full-time workers in a single table. • Tables with detailed occupational data for hospitals. ii Contents Page Tables: Table 1: Summary: Mean hourly earnings and weekly hours for selected worker and establishment Characteristics, New England, June 2006………………………………………………………… 3 Table 2: Civilian workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and part-time workers by work levels, New England, June 2006…………………………. ……………………….……………………… 4 Table 3: Private industry workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and part-time workers by work levels, New England, June 2006……………………. ……………………….…………………… 21 Table 4: State and local government workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and part-time workers by work levels, New England, June 2006………..……. ………………………………………… 35 Table 5: Combined work levels for civilian workers: Mean hourly earnings for full-time and part-time workers, New England, June 2006………..……………………………………………………… 40 Table 6: Civilian workers: Hourly wage percentiles, New England, June 2006………..…………………. 54 Table 7: Private industry workers: Hourly wage percentiles, New England, June 2006…………………... 61 Table 8: State and local government workers: Hourly wage percentiles, New England, June 2006………. 67 Table 9: Full-time civilian workers: Hourly wage percentiles, New England, June 2006…………………. 70 Table10: Part-time civilian workers: Hourly wage percentiles, New England, June 2006………………… 77 Table 11: Full-time civilian workers: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours, New England, June 2006…………………………………………… 80 Table 12: Full-time private industry workers: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours, New England, June 2006………………………………………. 89 Table 13: Full-time state and local government workers: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours, New England, June 2006………………………… 97 Table 14: Size of establishment: Mean hourly earnings of private industry establishments for major occupational groups, New England, June 2006………………………………………………….. 100 Table 15: Establishments with fewer than 100 workers: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual Earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for full-time industry workers, New England, June, 2006………………………………………………………………………………………… 101 Table 16: Establishments with 100 workers or more: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual Earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for full-time industry workers, New England, June, 2006………………………………………………………………………………… ……... 104 Table 17: Union and nonunion workers: Mean hourly earnings for major occupational groups, New England, June 2006 …………………………………………………………………………. 109 Table 18: Time and incentive workers: Mean hourly earnings for major occupational groups, New England, June 2006 …………………………………………………………………………. 110 1 Contents-Continued: Table 19: Industry sector: Mean hourly earnings for private industry workers by major occupational Group, New England, June 2006…………………………………………………………………. 111 Table 20: Civilian workers in hospitals: Mean and median hourly, weekly, and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours for full-time workers by work levels, New England, June 2006 ………………………………………………………………………………………… 112 Table 21: Civilian workers in management occupations by supervisory responsibility: Mean and median Weekly and annual earnings and mean weekly and annual hours, New England, June 2006 115 Table 22: Summary: Mean hourly earnings and weekly hours for selected worker and establishment characteristics, New England, June 2006…………………………………………………………. 116 Technical Note ……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Worker characteristics4,5 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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 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 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information. 6 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-providing industries applies to private industry only. Industries are determined by the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria.

They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, 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. See appendix A for more information. 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. The knowledge factor is tailored to 24 families of closely related jobs. 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 appendix A for more information. 4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. 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.

They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, 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. See appendix A for more information. 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. The knowledge factor is tailored to 24 families of closely related jobs. 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 appendix A for more information. 4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. 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.

They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, 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. See appendix A for more information. 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. The knowledge factor is tailored to 24 families of closely related jobs. 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 appendix A for more information. 4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. 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.

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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 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 establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule. 4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. 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.

At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the 75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly wages are the straight-time 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. 2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information. NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria.

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 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. 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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are paid the same as or more 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 designates position - one-half of the hours are paid the same as or more 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 no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria.

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 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. 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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are paid the same as or more 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 designates position - one-half of the hours are paid the same as or more 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 no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria.

Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, 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. See appendix A for more information. 4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are paid the same as or more 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 designates position - one-half of the hours are paid the same as or more 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 no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria.

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 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. 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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are paid the same as or more 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 designates position - one-half of the hours are paid the same as or more 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 no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria.

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 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information. 6 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-providing industries applies to private industry only. Industries are determined by the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication criteria. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Compensation Survey. 116 Technical Note T Boston-Worcester-Lawrence, MA-NH-ME-CT, CMSA Cheshire County, NH Grafton County, NH Hartford, CT, MSA Orange County, VT Providence-Fall River-Warwick, RI-MA, MSA Springfield, MA, MSA he data in these tables are based on the National Compensation Survey (NCS) conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 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 New England Census Division, the NCS studied 1,952 establishments representing approximately 6,660,600 workers within the scope of the survey. (See Appendix tables.) The survey included establishments with one or more workers in private goods-producing industries, private service-providing industries, State governments; and local governments employing 50 or more workers. 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. The employment figures reflect for the first time post-stratification, to adjust survey sample weights to reflect current employment by industry. For more information, see the article at www.bls.gov/opub/cwc/cm20070122ar01p1.htm. Sampling frame. The list of establishments from which the survey sample was selected (sampling frame) was developed from 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. 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 was approximately proportional to the stratum employment. Each sampled establishment was 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 data collection. The third stage of sample selection was a probability sampling of occupations within a sampled establishment. Data collection. Collection was the responsibility of field economists, working out of the BLS regional offices, who contacted each establishment surveyed. Collection was conducted between December 2005 and January 2007. The average payroll reference month was June 2006. For each establishment in the survey, the data reflect the establishment’s practices on the day of collection. Identification of the occupations for which wage data were collected was a four-step process: 1. 2. Sample design. 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 152 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 (MSAs) or Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (CMSAs), as defined in 1994 by the U.S. 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 New England Census Division are: 3. 4. Probability-proportional-to-size selection of establishment jobs Classification of jobs into occupations based on the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 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 whose jobs could be characterized by the criteria identified in the last three steps. If a specific work level could not be determined, wages were still collected. 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 A-1 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 standard error can be used to calculate a “confidence interval” around a sample estimate. As an example, suppose a table shows that mean hourly earnings for all workers of $19.29 per hour and a relative standard error of 1.2 percent for this estimate. At the 90-percent level, the confidence interval for this estimate is from $18.91 to $19.67 ($19.29 x 1.645 x 0.012 = $0.3808, rounded to $0.38); ($19.29 - 0.38 = $18.91; $19.29 + 0.38 = $19.67). 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. These errors 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. Although such errors 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. 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. NCS now uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. A selected job may fall into any one of about 800 occupational classifications, from accountant to zoologist. For cases in which a job’s duties overlapped two or more SOC classification codes, the duties used to set the wage level were used to classify the job. Classification by primary duties was the fallback. Each occupational classification is an element of a broader classification known as a major group. Occupations can fall into any of 22 major groups (the group 55-0000, Military Specific Occupations, is not included). For more information on the SOC classification system and a complete list of all occupations, see the BLS Internet site www.bls.gov/soc/home.htm. 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 or incentive job, depending on whether any part of pay was directly based on the actual production of the worker, rather than solely on hours worked. The worker also 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 BLS field economist and the respondent, matches certain aspects of a job to specific levels of work with assigned point values. Points for each factor are then totaled to determine the overall work level for the job. For more information on occupational leveling and an example of how to use the criteria for leveling a job, see the publication “National Compensation Survey: Guide for Evaluating Your Firm’s Jobs and Pay,” available at the BLS Internet site http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/sp/ncbr0004.pdf.

The data in these tables are estimates from a scientifically selected probability sample. There are two types of errors possible in an estimate based on a sample survey, sampling errors and nonsampling errors. Sampling errors occur because observations come only 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 A-2 Appendix table 1.

Estimates of the number of workers provide a description of size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison to other statistical series to measure employment trends or levels. 2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system.

For private industries, an establishment is usually a single physical location. For State and local governments, an establishment is defined as all locations of a government entity.
