Preface
This bulletin provides results of a December 1994 survey of occupational
pay in the Denver, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area. This survey was
conducted as part of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational
Compensation Survey Program. Data from this program are for use in
implementing the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990. The
survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Kansas City, under
direction of Stanley W. Suchman, Assistant Regional Commissioner for
Operations.
The survey could not have been conducted without the cooperation of the
many private firms and government jurisdictions that provided pay and
benefit data included in this bulletin. The Bureau thanks these respondents
for their cooperation.

Introduction

Earnings
The A-series tables provide estimates of straight-time weekly or hourly earnings
by occupation. Tables A-1 through A-5 provide data for selected white- and bluecollar occupations common to a variety of industries. Tables A-6 through A-10
include similar information, but are limited to establishments employing 500
workers or more. Tables A-11 and A-12 present separate occupational pay
information for the health services industry.
Occupational earnings information is presented for all industries covered by the
survey and, where possible, for private industry (e.g., for goods- and serviceproducing industries) and for State and local governments. Within private
industry, more detailed information is presented to the extent that the survey
establishment sample can support such detail.

This survey of occupational pay in the Denver, CO Primary Metropolitan
Statistical Area (Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson Counties) was
conducted as part of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational
Compensation Survey Program. The survey is one of a number of metropolitan
areas surveyed annually throughout the United States. (See listing of reports for
other surveys at the end of this bulletin.)
A major objective of the Occupational Compensation Survey Program is to
describe the level and distribution of occupational pay in a variety of the Nation's
local labor markets, using a consistent survey approach. Another Program
objective is to provide information on the incidence of employee benefits among
and within local labor markets. However, no benefits data were collected for this
survey.
The Program develops information that is used for a variety of purposes,
including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and assistance in
determining business or plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S.
Department of Labor in making wage determinations under the Service Contract
Act, and by the President's Pay Agent (the Secretary of Labor and Directors of the
U.S. Office of Personnel Management and the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget) in determining local pay adjustments under the Federal Employee Pay
Comparability Act of 1990. This latter requirement resulted in: (1) Expanding the
survey's industrial coverage to include more professional, administrative, technical,
and protective services occupations in the tables specific to State and local
governments.

Appendixes
Appendix A describes the concepts, methods, and coverage used in the
Occupational Compensation Survey Program. It also includes information on the
area's industrial composition and the reliability of occupational pay estimates.
Appendix B includes the descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify
workers in the survey occupations.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments,
attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not bonuses, under
cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and methods used to
compute means, medians, and middle ranges.

Less than 0.5 percent.
Workers were distributed as follows: 10 percent at $2,000 and under $2,100; 7 percent at $2,100 and under $2,200; and 1
percent at $2,300 and under $2,400.

NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual intervals may not equal 100 percent. Dashes indicate that no data were reported
or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation or occupational levels may include data for categories not shown
separately.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments,
attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not bonuses, under
cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and methods used to
compute means, medians, and middle ranges.

3

Less than 0.5 percent.
4
Workers were distributed as follows: 18 percent at $900 and under $950; 10 percent at $950 and under $1,000; 5 percent at
$1,000 and under $1,050; and 4 percent at $1,050 and under $1,100.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual intervals may not equal 100 percent. Dashes indicate that no data were reported
or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation or occupational levels may include data for categories not shown
separately.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments,
attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not bonuses, under
cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and methods used to

compute means, medians, and middle ranges.

Less than 0.5 percent.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual intervals may not equal 100 percent. Dashes indicate that no data were reported
or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation or occupational levels may include data for categories not shown

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments,
attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not bonuses, under
cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and methods used to

compute means, medians, and middle ranges.
3
Less than 0.5 percent.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual intervals may not equal 100 percent. Dashes indicate that no data were reported
or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation or occupational levels may include data for categories not shown
separately.

PROTECTIVE SERVICE
OCCUPATIONS

1
Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments,
attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not bonuses, under
cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and methods used to

compute means, medians, and middle ranges.
3
Less than 0.5 percent.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual intervals may not equal 100 percent. Dashes indicate that no data were reported
or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation or occupational levels may include data for categories not shown
separately.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments,
attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not bonuses, under
cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and methods used to

compute means, medians, and middle ranges.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2
Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are performance
bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing
payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases, but not
bonuses, under cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included. See Appendix A for definitions and
methods used to compute means, medians, and middle ranges.
3
Less than 0.5 percent.

4
Workers were distributed as follows: 55 percent at $1,200 and under $1,300; 12 percent at $1,300 and under $1,400;
and 33 percent at $1,400 and under $1,500.
5
All workers were at $1,100 and under $1,200.

NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual intervals may not equal 100 percent. Dashes indicate that no data were
reported or that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall occupation or occupational levels may include data for
categories not shown separately.

Appendix A.
Scope and Method
of Survey

Scope
This survey of the Denver, CO Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area covered
establishments employing 50 workers or more in goods producing industries
(mining, construction, and manufacturing); service producing industries
(transportation, communications, electric, gas, and sanitary services; wholesale
trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; health services; and services
industries); and State and local governments.1 Private households, agriculture, the
Federal Government, and the self-employed were excluded from the survey. Table
1 in this appendix shows the estimated number of establishments and workers
within scope of the survey and the number actually included in the survey sample.

occupations, the larger the establishment sample in that stratum. An upward
adjustment to the establishment sample size also was made in strata expected to
have relatively high sampling error for certain occupations, based on previous
survey experiences. (See section on "Reliability of estimates" below for discussion
of sampling error.)
Data collection and payroll reference
Data for the survey were obtained primarily by personal visits of the Bureau's field
economists to a sample of establishments within the Denver, CO Primary
Metropolitan Statistical Area. Collection for the survey was from September 1994
through February 1995 and reflects an average payroll reference month of
December 1994. Data obtained for a payroll period prior to the end of December
1994 were updated to include general wage changes, if granted, scheduled to be
effective through that date.

Sampling frame
The list of establishments from which the survey sample was selected (the
sampling frame) was developed from the State unemployment insurance reports for
the Denver, CO Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (June 1991). Establishments
with 50 workers or more during the sampling frame's reference period were
included in the survey sample even if they employed fewer than 50 workers at the
time of the survey.
The sampling frame was reviewed for completeness and accuracy prior to the
survey and, when necessary, corrections were made: Missing establishments were
added; out-of-business and out-of-scope establishments were removed; and
addresses, employment levels, industry classification, and other information were
updated.

Occupational earnings
Occupations surveyed are common to a variety of public and private industries,
and were selected from the following employment groups: (1) Professional and
administrative; (2) technical and protective service; (3) clerical; (4) maintenance
and toolroom; and (5) material movement and custodial.
Occupational
classification was based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take
account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. Occupations
selected for study are listed and described in appendix B, along with corresponding
occupational codes and titles from the 1980 edition of the Standard Occupational
Classification Manual.
Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles are for all
industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations for all industries
combined (or for some industry divisions within the scope of the survey) are not
presented in the A-series tables because either (1) data did not provide statistically
reliable results, or (2) there was the possibility of disclosure of individual
establishment data. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are
included in data for all industries combined.

Survey design
The survey design includes classifying individual establishments into groups
(strata) based on industry and employment size, determining the size of the sample
for each group (stratum), and selecting an establishment sample from each stratum.
The establishment sample size in a stratum was determined by expected number of
employees to be found (based on previous occupational pay surveys) in professional,
administrative, technical, protective service, and clerical occupations. In other
words, the larger the number of employees expected to be found in designated
A-1

Some sampled establishments had a policy of not disclosing salary data for certain
employees. No adjustments were made to pay estimates for the survey as a result of
these missing data which affected one of the occupational work levels published in
this bulletin. The proportion of employees for whom data were not available was
less than 5 percent.

Occupational earnings data are shown for full-time workers, i.e., those hired to
work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime
and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also excluded are bonuses and
lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as
well as profit-sharing payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end
bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Pay increases—but not bonuses—under
cost-of-living allowance clauses and incentive payments, however, are included in
the earnings data. Weekly hours for professional, administrative, technical,
protective service, and clerical occupations refer to the standard workweek (rounded
to the nearest tenth of an hour) for which employees receive regular straight-time
salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average
weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest dollar. A-series
tables provide distributions of workers by earnings intervals.
Average earnings reflect areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ
in pay levels and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for
each job. Therefore, average earnings may not reflect the earnings differential
among jobs within individual establishments. Job descriptions used to classify
employees in this survey usually are more generalized than those used in individual
establishments to allow for minor differences among establishments in specific
duties performed.
The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and
dividing by the number of workers. The median designates position—one-half of
the workers receive the same as or more and one-half receive the same as or less
than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay; one-fourth of
the workers earn the same as or less than the lower of these rates and one-fourth
earn the same as or more than the higher rate. Medians and middle ranges are not
provided when they do not meet reliability criteria.
Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments
within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because
occupational structures among establishments differ, estimates of occupational
employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to
indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied.

Reliability of estimates
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 from a sample, not the
entire population. The particular sample used in this survey is one of a number of
all 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. For
example, if the estimated average weekly salary of Secretaries Level IV is $500 and
the standard error is $8, the RSE is 1.6 percent, or $8/$500x100 = 1.6%.
Estimates of relative standard errors for this survey vary among the occupational
work levels depending on such factors as the frequency with which the job occurs,
the dispersion of salaries for the job, and the survey design. The distribution of
published work levels for one relative standard error was as follows:
Relative standard
error
Less than 1 percent
1 and under 3 percent
3 and under 5 percent
5 percent and over

Survey nonresponse
Data were not available from 8.8 percent of the sample establishments
(representing 33,504 employees covered by the survey). An additional 2.4 percent
of the sample establishments (representing 12,813 employees) were either out of
business or outside the scope of the survey.
If data were not provided by a sample member, the weights (based on the
probability of selection in the sample) of responding sample establishments were
adjusted to account for the missing data. The weights for establishments which
were out of business or outside the scope of the survey were changed to zero.

Percent of published
occupational work levels
13.5
67.0
11.0
8.5

The standard error can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a
sample estimate. For example, a 95 percent confidence interval is centered at the
sample estimate and includes all values within 2 times the estimate's standard error.
If all possible samples were selected to estimate the population value, the interval
from each sample would include the true population value approximately 95 percent
of the time.
Using the RSE example above, there is 95 percent confidence that the true
population value for Secretaries Level IV is between $484 and $516 (i.e., $500 plus
or minus 2 x $8).

matching company jobs to survey occupations. Once identified, the problems are
discussed promptly with the field economists while the data are still being collected.
Subsequently, the JMV results are tallied, reported to BLS staff, and become the
basis for remedial action for future surveys.
Approximately 2 percent of the 845 sampled job match decisions reviewed by the
JMV reviewers and checked with the respondents were subsequently changed by the
JMV reviewers. These results are from a similar survey conducted in 1993, see
Occupatonal Compensation Survey: Pay Only, Denver, CO, BLS Bulletin 3075-79.

Nonsampling errors can stem from many sources, such as inability to obtain
information from some establishments; difficulties with survey definitions; inability
of respondents to provide correct information; mistakes in recording or coding the
data obtained; and other errors of collection, response, coverage, and estimation of
missing data. Although not specifically measured, the survey's nonsampling errors
are expected to be minimal due to the high response rate, the extensive and
continuous training of field economists who gather survey data by personal visit,
careful screening of data at several levels of review, annual evaluation of the
suitability of job definitions, and thorough field testing of new or revised job
definitions.
To measure and better control nonsampling errors that occur during data
collection, a quality control procedure was applied to the survey design. The
procedure, job match validation (JMV), is designed to identify the frequency,
reasons for, and sources of incorrect decisions made by Bureau field economists in

1 For this survey, an establishment is an economic unit which produces goods or services, a central
administrative office, or an auxiliary unit providing support services to a company. In manufacturing
industries, the establishment is usually at a single physical location. In service-producing industries, all
locations of an individual company in a Metropolitan Statistical Area are usually considered an establishment.
In government, an establishment is defined as all locations of a government entity.

The Denver Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management and
Budget through October 1984, consists of Adams, Araphahoe, Denver, Douglas, and
Jefferson Counties. The "workers within scope of survey" estimates provide a reasonably
accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey.
Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other statistical series to measure
employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires establishment data
compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) establishments
employing fewer than 50 workers are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2
The Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by
industry.
3
Includes all establishments with at least 50 total employees. In goods producing, an
establishment is defined as a single physical location where industrial operations are
performed. In service producing industries, an establishment is defined as all locations of a
company in the area within the same industry division. In government, an establishment is

generally defined as all locations of a government entity.
4
Includes all workers in all establishments with total employment (within an area) at or
above the minimum limitations.
5
Separate data for this division are not shown in the A-series tables, but the division is
represented in the "all industries" and "goods producing" estimates.
6
Abbreviated to "Transportation and utilities" in the A-series tables. This division is
represented in the "all industries" and "service producing" estimates.
7
Separate data for this division are not shown in the A-series tables, but the division is
represented in the "all industries" and "service producing" estimates.
8
Health services includes establishments primarily engaged in furnishing medical,
surgical, and other health services to persons.
Note: Overall industries may include data for industry divisions not shown separately.
