BLS does not present wages for the subcategories used in the previous analysis. Since wages for appropriate subcategories could not be identified in the ECEC or other, wages from the 2001 ECEC were used and adjusted to 2008 average values using Employment Cost Index (see ECI Wages and Benefits Indexes tab). Wages were pulled from BLS Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC), 2001 (http://www.bls.gov/news.release/History/ecec_06292001.txt). Wages pulled 2/27/08. Informations for State Wages: Information for Facility and Contractor Wages: Wages were pulled from BLS Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) web pages, (http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm). Wages pulled 2/20/09. Hourly wages were adjusted from Qtr 2 2007 to 2008 average values using Employment Cost Index values (see ECI Wages and Benefits Indexes tab).
