Technical information: Media contact: (202) 606-6378 606-5902 USDL 97-21 For release 10:00 A.M. EST Friday, January 24, 1997 USUAL WEEKLY EARNINGS OF WAGE AND SALARY WORKERS: FOURTH QUARTER 1996 Median weekly earnings of the nation's 91.3 million full-time wage and salary workers were $499 in the fourth quarter of 1996, an increase of 3.1 percent from a year earlier, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Over the same period, prices also rose 3.1 percent as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). Data on usual earnings are collected as part of the Current Population Survey, a nationwide sample survey of households in which respondents are asked, among other things, how much each wage and salary worker usually earns. (See explanatory note.) Highlights from the fourth-quarter data are: ---Women who usually worked full time had median earnings of $425 per week, 75.2 percent of the $565 median for men. The female-male earnings ratios for blacks (87.7 percent) and for workers of Hispanic origin (86.8 percent) were higher than for whites (74.7 percent). (See table 1.) ---Median earnings for black men working at full-time jobs were $413 per week, 70.5 percent of the median for white men ($586). By contrast, the median for black women ($362) was 82.6 percent of that for their white counterparts ($438). Overall, the median earnings of Hispanics ($342) continue to lag behind the medians for blacks ($390) and whites ($514). (See table 1.) ---Among men, those in the 45-to 54-year-age group had the highest median weekly earnings ($699). They were followed by 55-to 64-year-old men, with median earnings of $648. Earnings for women also were highest among those 45 to 54 years old ($494), followed by the 35-to 44-year-olds ($467). (See table 2.) ---For both men and women, workers in managerial and professional specialty occupations had the highest earnings, $859 for men and $631 for women. Men and women who worked in service and farm occupations earned the least. (See table 3.) ---Workers age 25 and over with less than a high school diploma had median weekly earnings of $320 for full-time work, compared with $451 for high school graduates (no college) and $767 for college graduates. Among college graduates with advanced degrees (master's degree or higher), the highest 10 percent of male workers earned $1,922 or more, while the highest 10 percent of their female counterparts made $1,472 or more. (See table 4.) Annual Averages for 1995 and 1996 In addition to the data for the fourth quarter, this release includes 1995 and 1996 annual average weekly earnings for major demographic, occupation, and education groups (tables 6, 7, and 8). Annual average information on median usual earnings for men and women by detailed occupational categories will appear in the January 1997 issue of Employment and Earnings. Explanatory Note The estimates in this release were obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), which provides the basic information on the labor force, employment, and unemployment. The survey is conducted monthly for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by the Bureau of the Census from a scientifically selected national sample of about 50,000 households, with coverage in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The earnings data are collected from one-quarter of the CPS monthly sample and are limited to wages and salaries. The data, therefore, exclude self-employment income. Information in this release will be made available to sensory individuals upon request.

The standard error is a measure of such potential variation. The chances are about 68 out of 100 that an estimate from the survey differs from a figure that would be obtained from a complete census by less than one standard error. The chances are about 90 out of 100 that such a difference would be less than 1.6 standard errors. All statements of comparisons in the text of this release are significant at 1.6 or more standard errors. For a full discussion of the reliability of data from the CPS information on estimating standard errors, see the "Explanatory Notes and and Estimates of Error" section of the February 1994 and subsequent issues Employment and Earnings. of Definitions The principal definitions used in connection with the earnings series are described briefly below. Usual weekly earnings. Data represent earnings before taxes and other deductions and include any overtime pay, taxes, commissions, or tips usually received (at the main job in the case of multiple jobholders.) Prior to 1994, respondents were asked how much they usually earned per week. Since January 1994, respondents have been asked to identify the easiest way for them to report earnings (hourly, weekly, biweekly, twice monthly, monthly, annually, other) and how much they usually earn in the reported time period. Earnings reported on a basis other than weekly are converted to a weekly equivalent. The term "usual" is as perceived by the respondent. If the respondent asks for a definition of usual, interviewers are instructed to define the term as more than half the weeks worked during the past 4 or 5 months. Medians (and other quantiles) of weekly earnings. The median (or upper limit of the second quartile) is the amount which divides a given earnings distribution into two equal groups, one having earnings above the median and the other having earnings below the median. Ten percent of a given distribution have earnings below the upper limit of the first decile (90 percent have higher earnings); 25 percent have earnings below the upper limit of the first quartile (75 percent have higher earnings); 75 percent have earnings below the upper limit of the third quartile (25 percent have higher earnings); and 90 percent have earnings below the upper limit of the ninth decile (10 percent have higher earnings). The estimating procedure places each reported or calculated weekly earnings value into $50-wide intervals which are centered around multiples of $50. The actual value is estimated through the linear interpolation of the interval in which the quantile boundary lies. Over-the-year changes in the medians (and other quantile boundaries) for specific groups may not necessarily be consistent with the movements estimated for the overall quantile boundary. The most common reasons for this possible anomaly are: (1) There could be a change in the relative weights of the subgroups. For example, the medians of both 16-to-24 year olds and those 25 years and over may rise; but if the lower-earning 16-to24 group accounts for a greatly increased share of the total, the overall median could actually fall. (2) There could be a large change in the shape of the distribution of reported earnings, particularly near a quantile boundary. This could be caused by survey observations that are clustered at rounded values, e.g., $250, $300, $400. An estimate lying in a $50-wide centered interval containing such a cluster or "spike" tends to change more slowly than one in other intervals. Wage and salary workers. Workers who receive wages, salaries, commissions, tips, payment in kind, or piece rates. The group includes employees in both the private and public sectors but, for the purposes of the earnings series, excludes self-employed persons whose businesses are incorporated. - 2 Full-time workers. Workers who usually work 35 hours or more per their sole or principal job. Part-time workers. Workers who usually work fewer than 35 hours at their sole or principal job. week per at week Constant dollars. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) is used to convert current dollars to constant (1982) dollars. Hispanic origin. Refers to persons who are of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or of other Hispanic origin or descent. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race; hence, they are included in the numbers for the white and black populations. Table 1.
