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 impaired
individuals upon request. Voice phone: 202-606-STAT; TDD phone:
202-606-5897; TDD message referral phone number: 1-800-326-2577.
Reliability
In any sample survey, variations in the data can occur by chance because
a sample, rather than the whole of the population, is surveyed. 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 and
information on estimating standard errors, see the "Explanatory Notes and
Estimates of Error" section of the February 1994 and subsequent issues of
Employment and Earnings.
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-to-
24 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 week at
their sole or principal job.
Part-time workers. Workers who usually work fewer than 35 hours per week
at their sole or principal job.
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.
