Preface

This bulletin presents the results of a study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of hourly 

expenditures made during 1972 by the 50 State governments to compensate their employees 

(excluding those in higher education). A summary of the survey results was published in 

Bureau of Labor Statistics Report 433, State Government Employee Compensation: U.S.

Summary, 1972, issued in February 1975. Individual reports on compensation of employees 

in each of the State governments were issued in late 1974 and early 1975 in the Report 433 

series.

Data are presented on the level and structure of State employee compensation in the 

United States as a whole, and for nine economic regions, as well as for each of the 50 States. 

Separate data are presented for two large functional sectors of State government: Hospitals 

and highways. Compensation of State government employees is analyzed in Part I and in Part 

II the use of paid leave and work hours is described. Data on State government policies and 

practices affecting selected compensation elements are analyzed in Part III. In Part IV the 

structure of compensation in State governments is compared with that in the Federal 

Government and the private nonfarm sector of the economy.

Data for the study were collected by the Bureau of the Census as part of the 1972 

Quinquennial Census of Governments, and were reviewed, tabulated, and analyzed by the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics. This bulletin was prepared in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and 

Industrial Relations, Division of General Compensation Structures. The analysis was prepared 

by Theodore Bleecker, Charlotte D. Brashears, and Paul L. Scheible. The statistical tabulations 

were designed and produced by Melvin D. Eggleston and Patricia B. Smith. The project was executed under the direction of Alvin Bauman.

Introduction

This study measures the direct and indirect payments 

made by the States to their employees in order to 

determine total employee compensation. Direct payments 

to workers include pay for hours worked, leave, certain 

bonuses and awards, and severance pay. Indirect payments 

include payments to third parties for employee benefits 

which provide a measure of protection against the economic hazards of old age, death, disability, illness, and 

unemployment. Third parties include government trust 

funds (such as those for social security, unemployment 

insurance, and State retirement plans) as well as private 

insurance carriers, and service organizations (such as Blue 

Cross), which provide health benefits and disability and life 

insurance.

The data relate to both full-time and part-time workers 

who are employed on a temporary, probationary, or 

permanent basis. Only employees of agencies and institutions in higher education (i.e. colleges and universities) are 

excluded.1

The compensation concept employed in this study is 

essentially the same as that for similar studies of the private 

sector conducted by the Bureau. An important difference is 

the method by which vacation and sick leave is measured. 

In the private sector studies, such leave is measured by the 

amount of time used during the year, regardless of when it 

was earned. In this study, it was not practical to obtain data 

on leave used. Consequently, the amount of leave time 

earned during the survey reference week was utilized as the 

measure and projected to a full year. In most State 

jurisdictions each employee acquires a set amount of 

vacation and sick leave for each period in which he is in pay 

status; this amount is regarded as earned leave. Leave may 

be used at some time during the employee’s period of 

service (subject to restrictions such as the maximum 

amount which may be accumulated). Since many employees do not in a given year use all the leave acquired in

that year—particularly sick leave—earned leave generally 

exceeds leave which is used, and therefore is often a larger 

portion of compensation. For example, in the Federal 

Government during calendar 1973 earned annual leave 

exceeded used leave by less than 5 percent, while earned 

sick leave was 33 percent larger than the amount used.2

The hours and expenditures for both of these types of 

leave as well as civic and personal leave were estimated from 

the amounts earned during the pay period including 

October 15, 1972.3 This method probably yields results 

which could differ from the actual annual figures, especially 

data for items which are sporadic or seasonal, such as 

personal and vacation leave and data for agencies, such as 

highways departments, where employment may be seasonal.

Some elements of compensation that exist in the private 

sector are rarely, if ever, found in State governments. 

Among these are employer contributions to employee 

savings and thrift plans, vacation and holiday funds, and 

outlays for supplemental unemployment benefits.

This bulletin shows expenditures per work hour (hours 

devoted to the output of governmental services) rather than 

per paid hour (which includes leave hours). The former 

better shows the cost to the employer and the benefit to 

the employee for each hour actually worked. Also the data 

are more nearly comparable to those available for the 

private sector and the Federal Government. (See Part IV.)

Comparisons of both the level and structure of compensation among individual States or groups of States, the 

Federal Government, and the private sector should be made 

cautiously. Although differences among the averages may 

reflect varying levels of pay and other components of 

compensation for identical occupations, the averages also 

reflect differences in the occupational composition of the 

work forces.

Part I. Level and Structure of Compensation

All agencies

' Compensation of the approximately 1,700,000 employees of State governments4 within the scope of the survey 

averaged $5.40 per work hour (table 1). Of this amount, 

$4.04, or 74.9 percent, was in the form of pay for working 

time.5 Slightly in excess of 9 percent of total compensation 

(49 cents per work hour) consisted of employer contributions to retirement programs, while 48 cents or 8.9 percent 

were outlays for annual, holiday, and personal leave. 

Expenditures by the States for life and health insurance and 

accident compensation were 37 cents per hour of work, or 

6.8 percent: Only very small sums were devoted by State 

governments, to unemployment insurance6 and severance 

pay, and to special awards or other nonproduction bonuses 

(chart 1).

Over three-fifths of all employees (61.9 percent) were 

concentrated in the 36 States where total hourly compensation ranged between $4 and $5.49 (table 2). Two States, 

Arkansas and Tennessee, paid between $3.50 and $3.98, 

five States, Alaska, Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey, and 

New York, expended $6.50 or more per work hour. Chart 2 

shows a percent distribution of State government employment by total compensation per hour of work and 

function.

Pay for working time. State government employees averaged $4.04 per hour as pay for working time. Over 90 

percent of all workers were employed in the 45 States 

where average pay for working time ranged from $3 to 

$4.99 per hour of work (table 2). Only 2 States, New 

Jersey and Alaska, exceeded hourly pay for working time 

of $5. Arkansas, Tennessee, and West Virginia paid less than 

$3 an hour.

Pay for working time amounted to approximately 

three-fourths of all compensation. Over four-fifths of all 

State government employees were working in the 40 State 

governments where the ratio of pay for working time to 

total compensation was 74 percent but less than 80 percent 

(table 3); nearly half (47.3 percent) were in the 21 States 

where the ratio was at least 76 percent but under 78 

percent. Only in South Dakota, pay for working time 

exceeded 80 percent of total compensation.

The ratio of pay for working time to total compensation 

varies inversely with the level of compensation. However, 

the pattern is less pronounced in State governments than in 

the private sector.7 Among the 17 States where total 

compensation exceeded the national average of $5.40, the 

ratio of pay for working time to total compensation was

73.4 percent, or 1.5 percentage points below the national 

ratio; in the 33 States where compensation was below the 

national average the ratio was 76.8 percent, or 1.9 points 

above the national ratio.

Although all States reported premiums for work beyond 

the normal work day or week, such as for overtime, 

weekend and holiday work, or late shifts, these differentials 

were a very small portion of pay for working time. Such 

payments amounted to 3 cents per work hour on tha 

average (table 4) and were only 0.5 percent of total 

compensation (table 5). Nearly half of all workers (47 

percent) were in States where such payments were less than 

2 cents per hour; the remainder were highly concentrated in 

States where premium pay was between 2 and 8 cents an 

hour. Nearly 90 percent of all workers were employed in

States where premium pay was less than 1 percent of total 

compensation. Premium pay did not exceed 2 percent of 

compensation in any State (table 5).

Retirement programs. State expenditures for retirement 

programs (including contributions to State government 

pension and retirement systems and to the Federal Social 

Security Program-OASDHI), which represented the second 

largest element in the compensation package, averaged 49 

cents an hour (9.1 percent of total compensation). Retirement programs alone accounted for 36 percent of all 

employer outlays beyond pay for working time.

In 1972, nearly 9 out of 10 full-time State employees 

(including those in higher education) were covered by a 

retirement program by a State government, and 3 out of 4 

were covered by Social Security.

Eighty-four percent of State government workers were 

concentrated in States where retirement outlays ranged 

between 30 and 60 cents an hour; 10 percent worked for 

States where outlays were at least 70 cents. All States 

devoted at least 5 percent of compensation to retirement 

programs; 2 out of 5 workers were employed in States 

which spent between 8 and 9 percent of compensation for 

retirement.

Over two-thirds of retirement program outlays were for 

State pension plans, which amounted to 33 cents per hour,

or 6.1 percent of total compensation. Three-fourths of all 

State government employees worked in States where 

government contributions were at least 3 but less than 7 

percent of total compensation. Nearly two-thirds (65 

percent) of all State employees were in States where 

pension plan outlays were at least 20 cents but less than 50 

cents an hour (twenty-four percent alone were between 25 

and 30 cents).

The New York State retirement system exerted a 

substantial influence on the national totals since it accounted for a quarter of all State pension plan contributions and 

nearly 1 of every 12 State government workers. New York 

was the only State where contributions to State plans 

exceeded 70 cents an hour and provided as much as 10 

percent of total compensation. Additionally, only New 

York covers all pension plan costs (all other plans are 

financed both by the State and by those employees 

participating in the plan). If New York’s contributions were 

excluded from the national totals, retirement outlays would 

have averaged only 27 cents an hour or 5.2 percent of total 

compensation.

Social security expenditures were 16 cents an hour when 

averaged over all States and 18 cents an hour for States 

reporting social security outlays. These expenditures accounted for one-third of retirement costs in all States, and 

almost three-eighths in the 45 States (with 90 percent of all

workers) providing coverage.8 In fiscal year 1972, employers were required to pay 5.2 percent of only the first 

$8,5009 of each employee’s annual salary into the social 

security fund. Furthermore, in some States substantial 

numbers of workers were not covered by the system. Thus, 

on a national basis, the average for social security outlays 

was less than 5 percent of payroll.

Over three-fifths of all workers, and seven-tenths of 

those workers in States with social security expenses, were 

in States where these outlays amounted to between 3 and 4 

percent of total compensation. Hourly costs of 16 to 18 

cents were reported by States employing 2 of every 5 

workers, and a fifth of all workers were employed in States 

where outlays were between 20 and 25 cents per hour.

Pay for leave (except sick leave). Pay for leave (except sick 

leave), the third largest component of compensation, 

amounting to 48 cents per work hour or 8.9 percent of 

total compensation, constituted more than one-third (35.5 

percent) of all compensation beyond pay for working time. 

All workers were in States where outlays for leave were at 

least 30 cents an hour and 84 percent were fairly evenly 

spread among States in which expenditures were between 

30 and 60 cents an hour. Over half of all employees were in 

States where leave outlays were between 9 and 10 percent 

of total compensation, and nearly one-fourth were in States 

where leave pay constituted between 8 and 9 percent of all 

compensation.

The provision of vacation leave is universal among State 

governments. In 1972, the hourly cost of vacation leave 

earned by State employees was 28 cents an hour, or just 

under three-fifths of all leave pay and over 5 percent of 

total compensation. Practically all employees were in States 

where hourly outlays averaged between 18 and 50 cents, 

and over one-third were concentrated in States with 

expenditures between 25 and 30 cents per hour. Over half 

of all workers were in States where earned vacation leave 

was 5 to 6 percent of total compensation, and nearly 

three eighths were in the 4- to 5-percent bracket.

All 50 States had paid holidays for their employees. The 

expense generated by these holidays averaged 18 cents an 

hour and accounted for three-eighths of the total leave 

component. Overall, holiday payments represented 3.4 

percent of total compensation. Employment was evenly but 

narrowly distributed about this mean. For 3 out of 5 

workers, State employers paid out between 3 and 4 percent 

of compensation for this leave item.

Civic and personal leave (including military leave) in 

some form was paid for by all the States, but this type of 

leave is not taken by employees on a regular basis. To some 

extent this leave is seasonal, mainly because military leave is 

taken chiefly in spring or summer. Since this survey was 

conducted in mid-October, the amount of leave taken was 

probably understated.10 Thus, during the survey period, 1 

in 14 workers was employed in a State which provided no 

outlays for civic or personal leave. Moreover, more than 90 

percent of workers in States with such outlays were in

States where civic and personal leave expenses constituted 

less than 1 percent of total compensation. As a result, civic 

and personal leave averaged nationally only 2 cents an hour, 

or 0.4 percent of total compensation.

Life insurance and health benefit programs. Life insurance 

and health benefit programs (including earned sick leave) 

were wholly or partially provided in some form by every 

State at an average cost of 37 cents per work hour.11 These 

expenditures represented 6.8 percent of total compensation 

and accounted for somewhat more than one-fourth of 

compensation beyond pay for working time. About onethird of all State government employees were in States 

where hourly costs for this group of compensation items 

ranged between 20 and 30 cents; another third were 

employed by States with hourly expenditures of 30 to 40 

cents, one-quarter were in States with expenditures of 50 to 

60 cents (table 4).

Well over two-thirds of all expenditures for those 

programs represented the value of sick leave earned. Sick 

leave is the sole protection afforded State government 

employees and their families against loss of income due to 

temporary absence from work because of the worker’s 

illness or injury. One-half of all workers were employed in 

States where earned sick leave expenditures ranged from 18 

to 25 cents hourly, and one-fourth were in States that spent 

25 to 30 cents.

Sick leave, which on the average accounted for nearly 

4.7 percent of employee compensation, ranged from 3 to 6 

percent of total compensation for 94 percent of all 

employees. In Iowa and Maryland, however, the value of 

earned sick leave slightly exceeded 9.0 percent, reflecting 

the 30 days of leave which their employees earned 

annually.

Life, accident, or health insurance was provided by 45 of 

the 50 States, employing nearly 90 percent of all State 

government workers. Half of all workers were employed in 

States where outlays for insurance programs were between 

6 and 12 cents per hour, and nearly a fifth were in States 

where insurance outlays ranged between 16 and 25 cents an 

hour. In 1972, life, accident, and health insurance plans 

represented less than 5 percent of total compensation in all 

States. Of the workers in States with these programs, nearly 

two-thirds were in States where expenditures amounted to 

less than 2 percent of compensation. The remainder were in 

States which spent between 2 and 5 percent of total 

compensation for such insurance.

Although all but three States reported outlays for 

workers’ disability compensation in 1972, it was a relatively 

small component of compensation. Such expenditures 

averaged 2 cents an hour and 0.5 percent of total 

compensation. Less than one-fourth of all workers were in 

States where workers’ disability compensation cost more 

than 4 cents an hour.

Unemployment benefit programs. Expenditures for unemployment benefit programs averaged only 1 cent an hour

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
and represented a mere 0.2 percent of compensation, 

largely because 3 out of 8 State employees worked for 

States that did not provide them with such protection. 

Almost one-half (48 percent) were employed by States that 

did have unemployment insurance—but because of few 

layoffs, these States spent less than 2 cents an hour for it. 

By contrast, private industry spent on the average 5 cents a 

work hour in 1972 for unemployment insurance.

Severance pay is a relatively minor item in State 

employee compensation. Seventeen percent of all employees worked in States where no expenditure was reported, 

and 75 percent of all employees were concentrated in 

States where expenditures for this item were less than 2 

cents an hour. In no State did outlays for severance pay 

amount to as much as 1 percent of compensation.

Highway agencies

Total compensation of highway employees, who constituted 17 percent of all State workers (except those in 

higher education), at $5.37 per hour of working time, was 

only slightly less than the national average for all State 

employees surveyed. As can be seen in table 1, the structure 

of compensation of highway workers follows, with only 

minor deviations, the pattern for all State government 

workers studied.

More than two-thirds of all highway workers were in the 

34 States where their total compensation fell between $4 

and $6. The distribution of State highway departments and 

their employees by compensation per hour of work is 

shown below:

$5.50—$ 5 .9 9 ....................... 10 18.1

$6.00 and o v e r................. 13 25.4

Note: Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding.

Pay for working time averaged $4.05 per hour worked 

by employees of highway agencies in State governments, or

75.4 percent of their compensation. Four of every 5 State 

highway workers were employed in the 38 States where 

hourly pay for working time was between $3 and $5 per 

hour.

Straight-time pay amounted to $4.01 per hour worked, 

or 74.7 percent of total compensation. Over four-fifths 

(81.9 percent) of all workers were in the 39 States where 

straight-time pay was between $3 and $5.

Expenditures by State governments for retirement benefits for highway workers represented 8.6 percent of total 

compensation and amounted to 46 cents per hour worked. 

These outlays were somewhat less than the national levels 

of 9.1 percent and 49 cents per hour for all State

employees. Most of the highway workers (85 percent) were 

employed in States where retirement program outlays were 

between 30 and 60 cents an hour, and two-fifths were in 

the range between 8 and 9 percent of total compensation.

The 3-cents-an-hour difference between retirement plan 

contributions for highway employees and for all State 

employees is entirely due to the lower level of contributions to the State retirement plan for highway employees. The other retirement expense—social security taxes— is 

almost the same for both groups.

Social security contributions by State highway agencies 

were 17 cents an hour, or 3.2 percent of total compensation. If employees of States where no such outlays were 

made (12 percent of all highway employees) are excluded, 

outlays equaled 19 cents per hour and were 3.6 percent of 

total compensation. About two-thirds of all highway 

department employees were concentrated in States where 

their social security costs averaged between 16 and 25 cents 

an hour, or 3 to 5 percent of compensation.

Pay for leave of highway workers cost State governments 

48 cents per hour worked, and accounted for 9 percent of 

total compensation. Although every State provided its 

highway workers both vacation and holiday leave, States 

employing 2 of every 5 highway workers recorded no civic 

and personal leave during the October survey period. Since 

all States provide for such leave for a majority of their 

workers, the omission was probably due to the concentration of this leave at other times of the year.12

About 90 percent of all highway workers were in States 

paying from 30 up to 70 cents per working hour for leave, 

and 3 out of 5 were in States where expenditures were 

between 30 and 50 cents.

The largest component of pay for leave is vacation pay. 

Highway agencies laid out 28 cents an hour for this 

component, representing 34 percent of total compensation. 

Vacation pay for over four-fifths of all highway workers 

ranged from 20 to 40 cents an hour; for nearly two-fifths, it 

fell between 25 and 30 cents.

Civic and personal leave accounted only for 2 cents an 

hour when all States were averaged and 3 cents when only 

States reporting such leave were averaged. Only one-fourth 

of all workers were in States where this type of leave cost as 

much as 2 cents per hour.

Financing by State governments of life insurance and 

health benefits for highway employees amounted to 36 

cents an hour, or 6.8 percent of compensation, which is 

roughly equivalent to the national averages for all State 

employees. About 2 of every 5 employees were employed 

in highway administration agencies where hourly outlays 

for these benefits ranged from 30 to 40 cents, representing 

between 5 and 7 percent of compensation.

Earned sick leave was valued at 25 cents per hour and 

represented 4.7 percent of total compensation, reflecting 

the tendency already noted for States to use sick leave as 

the chief means of maintaining incomes of employees 

incapacitated by illness or injury. About three-tenths of the 

workers were in States where earned sick leave amounted to

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
between 20 and 25 cents an hour, a similar proportion of 

workers were concentrated where it was 25 to 30 cents. 

Sick leave for nearly 90 percent of all employees ranged 

between 3 and 6 percent of total compensation.

Life and health insurance benefits paid for in whole or 

part by State governments amounted to 8 cents per hour 

for all highway employees and 10 cents per hour for 

highway employees of those States providing these types of 

benefits, which employed over four-fifths of all highway % workers. This distribution of employees .by size 

of hourly payment for these benefits showed a wide 

range (table 6), from less than 2 cents to nearly 50 

cents an hour. However, nearly half of the employees were in States where expenditures ranged from 6 

up to 12 cents an hour.

Expenditures for life, accident, and health insurance 

were less than 2 percent of total compensation, and 

represented less than one-quarter of outlays for all life 

insurance and health benefits. For nearly 80 percent of all 

highway employees and 95 percent of those in States with 

such expenditures, these outlays amounted to less than 3 

percent of total compensation (table 7).

Workers’ disability compensation is a relatively insignificant program in State governments. In States employing 4 

out of 5 workers it amounted to less than 1 percent of 

compensation.

Expenditures for unemployment benefits for highway 

workers were less than those for all State government 

workers because of the much lower incidence of such 

benefits for the former group. The substantial difference in 

their incidence is shown by the following tabulation:

Hospitals

State hospitals expended $4.80 per hour of work to 

compensate their employees, who constituted approximately one quarter of all State employees outside of higher 

educational institutions. This hourly rate was 11 percent 

lower than the rate for all State workers ($5.40) mainly 

because hospitals have an exceptionally high proportion of 

low-paying jobs (table 2). Approximately one-half of 

hospital workers were in 31 States where total compensation for such workers averaged less then $4.50 (table 2); 

only one-fifth of all employees were in the 14 States which 

averaged less than this amount.

Pay for working time amounted to $3.56 an hour, or

74.3 percent of total compensation. This was a slightly 

smaller percentage than for other employees chiefly because pay for working time was lower, while components

which are not part of wages and salaries (such as expenditures for State retirement plans and for life insurance and 

health benefit programs) were approximately the same. Pay 

for working time ranged from $2.50 to $4 an hour in the 

39 States employing over two-thirds of all hospital workers.

Straight-time pay for State hospital employees amounted to $3.52, or 73.5 percent of total compensation. 

Straight-time pay for hospital workers, like total pay for 

time worked, was well below the level for all State 

employees because of the higher proportion of low-paid 

workers. Approximately one-quarter of the employees 

worked in the 19 States where hourly straight-time pay was 

less than $3, and slightly over two-fifths worked in States 

where average hourly straight-time pay was $3 but less than 

$4. Few employees worked in hospitals where straight-time 

pay was as high as $5 an hour. About 3 of every 4 hospital 

workers were in States whose straight-time pay ranged 

between 72 percent of total compensation to nearly 80 

percent (table 3).

Pay for leave of hospital workers amounted to 43 cents 

per work hour, or 5 cents less than for all State workers, 

mainly reflecting the lower level of hourly compensation 

(table 8). However, leave pay was 8.9 percent of total 

compensation (table 9)—the same as the proportion for all 

State agencies—and its structure generally followed the 

pattern for all State workers.

Retirement programs for hospital workers amounted to 

45 cents per hour, or 9.4 percent of total compensation. 

While the hourly expenditure was slightly lower than for all 

State workers, the proportion of total compensation for 

hospital workers’ retirement programs slightly exceeded 

that for all State employees.

Social security outlays by State governments averaged 

14 cents an hour for hospital employees, or less than 3 

percent of their compensation. Two-thirds of all employees 

(78 percent of all workers in States with social security 

contributions) were in states where such outlays amounted 

to 12 to 25 cents per hour, and nearly four-fifths were 

employed in States where social security outlays were from

3 to 5 percent of compensation.

Hourly expenditures for State-administered pension and 

retirement systems for hospital workers varied widely from

4 cents per hour to $1.40 per hour reported by New York 

State. However, over 40 percent of all hospital workers 

were in States where outlays for State pension plans were 

between 20 and 40 cents per hour and 3 to 5 percent of 

total compensation.

Outlays for insurance and health benefits for hospital 

workers in 1972 came to 34 cents an hour, 3 cents less than 

for all State employees. However, these programs were 7.1 

percent of total compensation of State hospital employees, 

compared to 6.8 percent for such expenditures for all State 

employees.

Over 70 percent of State outlays in this group were for 

sick leave, which amounted to 24 cents an hour and 

represented nearly $1 of every $20 of total compensation. 

Over half of all employees were in States where sick leave

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
ranged between 20 and 30 cents an hour (about two-thirds 

of these—32 percent of all employees— were concentrated 

in the narrower interval ranging between 25 and 30 cents 

hourly.

Expenditures for life, accident, and health benefits 

amounted to 8 cents an hour, similar to those for other 

State employees, and less than 2 percent of total compensation of State hospital workers.

Unemployment programs were a minor portion of the 

total compensation of hospital employees, amounting to 1 

cent an hour, or 1.2 percent of total compensation. Over 

half of all State hospital agency workers were in States 

without expenditures for either unemployment insurance 

or severance pay.

Regional differences

Though total employee compensation varied widely 

among the nine economic regions defined by the Office of 

Management and Budget,13 compensation structures were 

fairly similar, with the exception of one region, as shown 

below and in tables lOa-lOi:

Compensation was highest in the Middle Atlantic region 

($6.66 an hour)—56 percent more than the low of $4.28 

per hour recorded in the East South Central States. Pay for 

working time ranges between 75.0 and 77.4 percent of total 

compensation in every region but the Middle Atlantic, 

where it represented only 70.4 percent of compensation: in 

this instance, State pension plan expenditures were 9.6 

percent of compensation, as compared to 5.9 percent in the 

next highest region. The high proportion of compensation 

devoted to State pension plans in the Middle Atlantic 

region largely reflects pension expenditures in New York 

State, which accounted for 14.0 percent of compensation. 

The next greatest relative expenditure for such plans was in 

Maine, 9.6 percent. However, employees of Maine, unlike 

those of New York, were not covered by the Federal social 

security program. In all other States without social security 

outlays, payments to State pension plans exceeded the 

national percentage of compensation for this item. However, with the exception of Maine, none of these States 

exceeded the national pattern for total retirement expenditures. Other significant differences from the national 

pattern were few.

Contrary to the naitional pattern, paid leave was second 

in importance to pay for working time in all but the Middle 

Atlantic and East North Central regions, where retirement 

programs ranked second t In the Middle Atlantic region, as 

previously noted, the difference was attributable to unusually high expenditures for retirement; in the East North 

Central region it was due to the low level of leave 

expenditures—7.9 percent of compensation, compared to 

8.9 percent nationally.

Expenditures for life insurance and health benefit plans 

ranged from 5.8 percent of compensation in the East South 

Central region to 8.2 percent in New England, the only 

region in which such programs were relatively more 

important than retirement plans.

Contrary to the pattern for all employees, highway 

workers in the Pacific region had a higher level of 

compensation than those in the Middle Atlantic region— 

$6.69 and $6.37 per hour of work, respectively (tables 

1 la-1 li). In both of these regions, hourly expenditures for 

each major component of compensation were higher than 

those in the seven other regions. Compared to the Middle 

Atlantic States, in the Pacific region pay for working time 

and for leave was higher, although there were lower 

expenditures for retirement and health and insurance 

benefits.

In 5 of the 9 regions, pay for leave, retirement outlays, 

life insurance and health benefits, and expenses for unemployment benefits shared the same order of magnitude after 

pay for working time as the national pattern for highway 

workers. However, in the Middle Atlantic, East North 

Central, and the East South Central regions, retirement 

outlays were the leading components after pay for working 

time. In New England, where pay for leave was the chief 

component of pay for other than working time, life 

insurance and health benefits replaced retirement outlays as 

the second most important compensation expenditure, 

mainly reflecting the low outlays for social security contributions in the region. The order of importance of the 

various components after pay for working time for highway agencies is shown in the following tabulation:

Hospital employees in the Middle Atlantic States were 

paid $6.17 an hour, 12 percent more than in the next 

highest region (the Pacific States, with $5.50 per hour) and 

nearly 80 percent more than the national average of $4.80 

an hour. Every component of a hospital employee’s pay 

was higher in the Middle Atlantic States than ill the other 

regions (tables 12a-12iand 13a-13i).

Although pay for working time in the Middle Atlantic 

States was the highest nationally, the proportion of total 

compensation in the form of pay for working time was 

lowest (69.5 percent) chiefly because of exceptionally large 

outlays for retirement programs (58 cents an hour, or 

almost 14 percent of total compensation), particularly 

State retirement plans, which accounted for three-fourths

of all retirement outlays (compared to two-thirds nationally). This high proportion largely reflects exceptionally 

heavy retirement outlays in the State of New York.

The large outlays for retirement in the Middle Atlantic 

and East North Central States made retirement expenditures the largest component, on a national basis, of total 

compensation after pay for work, despite the fact that in 

each of the seven other regions they were less than 

expenditures for leave. Since State employees in Maine and 

Massachusetts do not have Federal social security benefits, 

outlays for life insurance and health benefit plans in New 

England exceeded those for retirement but did not match 

pay for leave hours.

Part II. Paid Hours of Work and Leave

All agencies

Nearly 85 percent of all hours (paid or earned) for which 

State governments compensated their employees were 

working hours. Hours paid for at straight-time rates 

amounted to nearly 84 percent of total paid time, and only 

1 percent of paid time was worked as overtime or outside 

the regular workweek. (See tables 14 through 18.)

Five of every 6 employees were in the 41 States where 

paid worktime ranged from 83 percent to 86.9 percent of 

all paid time. Nearly three-fifths of these were in the 27 

States where the proportion was from 85 to 86.9 percent, 

as shown in the tabulation:

86 to 86.9 ............................... 11 21.8

87 to 87.9 ............................... 3 7.4

The ratio of working time to all paid hours was highest 

in South Carolina (87.4 percent) and lowest in Maryland 

(77.1 percent). The relatively high proportion of working 

time to all paid hours in North Carolina reflected the low 

proportion of total paid time which all major forms of leave 

constituted. The reverse of this pattern was demonstrated 

by Maryland, where sick leave was more than double the 

national level, and other types of leave well exceeded the 

national average.

All States provided their employees some form of paid 

vacation, in addition to sick and holiday leave (table 6). 

Only three States, with 7 percent of all employees, did not 

pay for civic, personal, or military leave during the survey 

period.14

Vacation hours earned made up 5.6 percent of all paid 

hours; earned sick leave accounted for 5.2 percent and 

holidays 3.9 percent. Civic, military, and personal leave 

hours (annualized) accounted for only 0.4 percent of all 

hours.

Vacations ranged from a low of 3;9 percent of all paid 

'hours for employees of the State of Ohio to a high of 7.8 

percent in Hawaii. However, 96 percent of all employees 

were in States where earned vacation hours ranged from 4 

to less than 7 percent of all paid hours, and 59 percent were

in States in which the proportion of vacation hours ranged 

from 5 to less than 6 percent.

Although paid holiday hours ranged from 2 percent to 6 

percent of all paid hours overall, more than half of all 

employees worked in States where paid holidays accounted 

for 3 to 4 percent of all paid hours, one-third of all 

employees were in States where holidays were more than 4 

and less than 5 percent of all paid hours.

Nearly 90 percent of all State employees were in States 

where earned sick leave hours ranged from 4 to less than 6 

percent of all paid hours.

Highway agencies and hospitals

With only one exception, the pattern of allocation of 

paid hours for personnel of State highway departments and 

hospitals resembled that for all agencies—nationally, by 

region, and by State. Overall, about 15 percent of paid 

hours consisted of leave, and the distribution of the various 

types of leave closely matched that for all agencies. 

Deviating from the general pattern was overtime work in 

highway departments, which accounted for 2.1 percent of 

all paid hours, compared to 0.8 percent of paid hours in all 

agencies. The importance of work hours in highways and 

hospitals is shown in tables 15 and 16 and in the following 

tabulation:

All State highway and hospital agencies reported that 

their employees had used paid vacation or annual leave 

during the year, and almost all workers were employed by 

States where annual or vacation leave ranged from 4.0 

percent to 6.9 percent of all paid hours.

agencies and hospitals: over 90 percent of all highway

employees and nearly all hospitals workers were employed 

in agencies reporting leave hours ranging from 2.0 percent 

to 5.9 percent of all paid hours.

Over four-fifths (83 percent) of all highway and hospital 

workers were in agencies which reported sick leave hours 

ranging from 4 percent to less than 6 percent of all paid 

hours. Two States—Iowa and Maryland—permitted their 

employees to earn as much as 30 days of sick leave a year. 

As a result, highway workers in Iowa and Maryland 

recorded sick leave as 10.7 percent and 9.4 percent 

respectively of total paid leave; in State hospitals, the ratios 

for these two States were 10.5 and 11.6 percent.

Much less common was the use of civic, personal, and 

military leave in highway agencies and hospitals. During the 

survey period, over 40 percent of all highway workers and 

over 31 percent of hospital workers were in organizations 

where no such leave hours were reported during the pay 

period surveyed.

Regional patterns

Worktime as a proportion of all paid hours did not vary 

more than 1.7 percent from the national level in any of the 

functional sectors. This relationship can be seen in table 14 

and in the following tabulation (worktime as percent of 

paid hours):

All agencies Highways Hospitals

points registered for highway workers in New England, as 

shown below:

AH agencies Highways Hospitals

Although overtime amounted to only 1.1 percent of all 

paid time nationally, it varied among regions. In the three 

northeastern regions—New England, Middle Atlantic, and 

East North Central—and in the Pacific region, overtime was 

consistently a higher proportion of paid time than in the 

other regions. This pattern is shown in the following 

tabulation (overtime as a percent of all paid hours):

AH agencies Highways Hospitals

All regions .. 1.1 2.1 1.0

Northeastern and Pacific

regions........................ 1.6 2.8 1.4

All other regions.......... 0.6 1.6 0.5

In New England all but one State reported ratios of 

overtime to all paid time which were above those representing the Nation as a whole. In the Middle Atlantic region, 

the percentage for overtime in one State was double the 

national level and in two States, the ratio equaled or 

slightly exceeded the national average. In the East North 

Central region, overtime in excess of the national average 

was reported in two States, and in one State, the national 

percentage was equaled. The high level in the Pacific region 

reflects unusually high percentages in 3 of the 5 States.

A similar pattern exists for overtime in highway agencies 

as a group, but in New England unusually high figures were 

reported for two States and only one State had a 

percentage below the national average. In the Middle 

Atlantic region the ratio of overtime to total paid hours was

2.3 percent, slightly above the national level for highways. 

In the East North Central region, all but one State had 

ratios substantially in excess of the national average; all 

States but one in the Pacific region reported overtime ratios 

well in excess of the national level.

Part III. Selected Compensation Policies and Practices

This portion of the study examines the incidence of 

State policies concerning hours of work, paid leave, and 

retirement and insurance programs. Because it is difficult to 

obtain data on the precise number of employees in each 

State covered by a given policy, policies which affect a 

majority of the employees in a State were assumed to apply 

to all employees. This probably overstates coverage for one 

or more of the following reasons: Some agencies do not 

follow policies applicable to the majority of workers in the 

State; temporary, part-time, or probationary employees 

failing to meet length-of-service requirements may not be 

covered by a particular policy or benefit; finally, some 

employees may decline coverage for certain optional 

benefits.

Standard hours

The standard workweek (as defined by law or regulations) for the average State government worker in 1972 was

39.3 hours. Thirty-nine States, with more than threefourths of all workers, had a workweek of 40 hours, while 

the remainder had workweeks of 35 to 38.8 hours. 

Although no State had a generally applicable standard 

workweek in excess of 40 hours, some State agencies had a 

44-hour standard workweek. The pattern of workweek 

hours for all State agencies combined is shown in the 

following tabulation:

Vacation leave

In 1972 State government employees who had completed 1 year of service earned an average of 12.4 days of 

vacation (annual) leave; those who had completed 5 years, 

14.8 days; 15 years, 18.7 days; 20 years, 19.8 days; and 

those who had completed more than 25 years, 20.3 days 

(table 19). Over 57 percent of all employees worked in 28 

States which provided less than 13 days of vacation leave 

after completion of 1 year of service. After 5 years of

service 40 States, with over 80 percent of all employees, 

provided 15 days or more of vacation leave. After 25 years 

of service, workers in 38 States representing nearly 81 

percent of all employees could earn 20 or more days of 

annual leave.

If length of service is disregarded, the maximum amount 

of leave which could be earned in 1 year ranged from 15 to 

30 days.15 The largest number of States (28, employing 

more than 60 percent of all employees) provided a 

maximum of 20 or 21 days, as shown in the following

Although all States permitted employees to accumulate 

leave from 1 year to the next, a maximum amount of leave 

which an employee could accumulate was stipulated by all 

but three States. The greatest number of States (34), with 

75 percent of all workers, established ceilings between 30 

and 45 days. The distribution of States and their employees

In 15 States, with 35.4 percent of all State employees, 

the maximum amount of leave accumulation was geared 

directly or indirectly to length of service. States with 

graduated ceilings are included in the preceding tabulation 

according to the maximum number of days which could be 

accumulated.

Twenty-four States representing 52 percent of all employees required a minimum of 6 months’ service before 

annual leave could be earned or taken. Eighteen States, 

accounting for 37 percent of all State government employees, required 1 month of service or less. This is shown

Holidays

The 50 States granted an average of 11.3 holidays per 

employee in 1972. The most common practice (found in 15 

States with one-quarter of the employees) was to give 11 

holidays. The distributions of States and their workers by 

the number of holidays granted are shown in text table 1.

Christmas Day. All but one granted Veterans Day and all 

but two granted Memorial Day. The incidence of these and 

other holidays is shown in text table 2.

Among the “additional holidays” alluded to in table 2 

above are a State Admission Day observed in eight States, 

with 17.8 percent of all workers; Confederate Memorial 

Day (5 States, with 9.8 percent of employment); Robert E. 

Lee’s Birthday (8 States with 17.5 percent of employment); 

and Jefferson Davis’ Birthday (5 States, with 9.4 percent of 

employment); the Friday after Thanksgiving (4 States with

10.4 percent of employment); and the day after Christmas 

(2 States with 6.3 percent of employment).

Sick leave

All 50 States granted their employees an average of 14.2 

days of sick leave a year in 1972. The most common 

amounts were 12 and 15 days, each of which was given in 

17 States, employing about one-third of the workers.

All but four States granted employees the same amount 

of sick leave regardless of length of service. The four States 

(with 6.6 percent of employment) which graduated the 

amount of sick leave earned by length of service are 

included in the following tabulation according to the 

maximum amount of sick leave that could be earned:

The imposition of limits on the maximum accumulation 

of sick leave was not as universal as the setting of 

maximums for annual leave accumulation. Half of the 

States with nearly half of all employees did not impose any 

limits at all, and even when limits were imposed, they were 

more generous than was the case for annual leave. Thus 21 

States with 43.5 percent of all employees, and 85 percent 

of all those in States imposing ceilings on accumulations, 

permitted accumulations of 90 days or more. In fact, the 

average for all States with ceilings was 104.7 days. The

Retirement and insurance programs

Programs providing retirement and insurance benefits 

may be classified as contributory or noncontributory (table 

20). Contributory programs are those which are jointly 

financed by the State governments and their employees; 

noncontributory programs are fully financed by the State. 

(Programs administered by the States but funded entirely 

by contributions of employees are not considered State 

programs.) For purposes of this report, the status of a

system as contributory or noncontributory depends upon 

the method by which the basic or minimum benefit is 

funded. Benefits which go beyond the minimum but which 

are paid for by the workers are not considered as benefits 

provided by the State; rather, they are regarded as similar 

to outside insurance or annuities which employees might 

otherwise purchase on their own. These most often take the 

form of coverage of dependents, or provide additional 

coverage (for example, supplemental life insurance benefits) 

at the option of the worker. State payments, whether or 

not contributory, may be expressed as: (1) a percentage of 

salary (or a part thereof); (2) a dollar-and-cents rate for 

each dollar of coverage; or (3) a fixed payment per 

employee. In contributory programs the State may pay a 

fixed percentage of the premium, with the employee 

responsible for the remainder.

Retirement programs are provided by all of the States; 

'all but one, New York’s,16 are contributory (table 20). 

Retirement programs are mainly financed by contributions 

by employees and state governments which are actuarially 

determined. These contributions are not necessarily matching: some State governments merely provide the difference 

between the workers’ contributions and the amounts 

required to meet the costs of currently payable benefits, or 

to keep the retirement fund in a financially sound state. In 

1972, according to Census Bureau records, 45 States with 

88 percent of all employees provided Federal social security 

coverage which employees had a right to elect or reject.

Health and medical insurance programs, most commonly 

Blue Cross-Blue Shield, were carried by 40 States having 

over four-fifths (82.9 percent) of all State workers. Eighteen States, encompassing more than half of all employees, 

cover all costs of the basic or minimum coverage. In most 

States where additional employee coverage or coverage for 

dependents is available, the employee pays for all of the 

additional coverage. In some instances, a State may make a 

contribution for the coverage of dependents or for additional benefits for the employee. In most States such 

additional coverage of the employee is optional.

Group life insurance programs are found in 31 States 

employing nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of all State 

workers. Twenty-seven States, with nearly three-fifths of all 

employees, had contributory programs.

Group disability income insurance—or nonoccupational 

sickness and accident insurance—is a form of income 

maintenance insurance that supplements sick leave. According to Census Bureau records, only nine States with less 

than one-fifth (18.3 percent) of all employees provide all or 

part of the costs of such insurance. In four States with 

slightly less than half of the employees in States with such 

programs, the employees and the State governments share 

the costs.

Part IV. Comparisons with the Federal Government and Private

Sectors

Great care must be taken in comparing data on the 

structure of compensation in State governments with 

similar BLS data for the Federal Government, the total 

private nonfarm sector, and that part of the private sector 

which consists of establishments within the scope of the 

BLS survey which is conducted to provide data for pay 

comparisons between private industry and the Federal 

Government17 (hereinafter called “the comparison 

frame”).

Although data for most of the components of compensation in State governments are generally comparable with 

those for the Federal Government and private industry, 

data on pay for vacation and sick leave and civic and 

personal leave are not. In State governments, data on pay 

for vacations and sick leave were estimated for the year on 

the basis of vacation and sick leave time earned during the 

pay period including October 15, 1972; data on pay for 

civic and personal leave for the year were estimated on the 

basis of leave time used during the same pay period. In the 

Federal Government and private industry, data on these 

types of leave relate to pay actually received by employees 

during the year. It is not possible to assess precisely how 

State data as estimated differ from those that would have 

been obtained had it been possible to collect data on pay 

actually received during the year. Information for Federal 

Government employees,18 the only group for which such 

data are available, indicates that the estimation procedure 

for the States exaggerates pay and hours for sick leave, and 

to a lesser extent, for vacations. In fiscal year 1973, time 

earned by Federal employees exceeded time used by 33 

percent and 5 percent for sick leave and vacations respectively. On the other hand, estimated annual data for civic 

and personal leave in the States (based on time used during 

October 1972) are probably understated, since most military leave (one of its chief components) for reserve and 

National Guard maneuvers occurs during the summer.

The structure of compensation of State government 

employees in 1972 more nearly resembled that of the 

Federal Government than that of the private nonfarm 

sector (table 21). Pay for working time was slightly less 

than three-fourths of all compensation in State governments and in the Federal Government, however, it represented approximately four-fifths of all compensation in the 

entire private nonfarm sector, and somewhat more than 

three-fourths in the comparison frame. Vacation and sick 

time earned by State employees would have had to exceed

time used by more than one-third before the ratio of pay 

for work time to total compensation would have equaled 

that in the comparison frame.

Retirement programs were the chief form of compensation beyond pay for working time for all four employer 

groups. The proportion of compensation devoted by the 

States as a group to such programs was smaller than in the 

Federal Government but larger than in the private sector, 

which included a large proportion of employers without a 

private retirement plan who paid only social security taxes. 

In the States these programs were 9.1 percent of total 

compensation, compared to 10.6 percent in the Federal 

Government. The primary difference between the two 

governments was the vehicle by which retirement programs 

were financed. In the States, about two-thirds of all 

retirement outlays went to State-administered plans, with 

the remainder devoted to the social security system. 

Practically all Federal retirement outlays represent contributions to the Civil Service Retirement System and similar 

plans.

Since not all State employees were covered by social 

security at the time of the survey, social security was 

proportionately less in the States. However, the difference 

was more than offset by State retirement plans which, 

expressed as a percentage of compensation, exceeded 

private plans by over one-third in the comparison frame and 

by almost seven-eighths in all private industry.

Pay for vacations was proportionately less in State 

governments than in the Federal Government, but was 

greater than that provided in either of the private industry 

groups. Because vacations contributed significantly to total 

pay for leave time, all paid leave followed the same pattern. 

Holidays, however, accounted for a greater part of compensation in State government than in any other employer 

group. As was noted previously, vacation leave was probably somewhat overestimated (perhaps by about 5 percent) 

for the States; however, the amount of overestimation 

would have had to have been in excess of 20 percent to 

alter the relationship between State government and the 

other groups.

Health and insurance programs were a greater proportion 

of compensation in State governments than in the Federal 

Government or either private sector group. However, much 

of the difference is attributable to the fact that for the 

States data on sick leave relate to time earned, but for the 

other sectors they relate to time used. If sick leave earned

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
by State employees had exceeded sick leave used by 

one-third (as was the case for Federal Government employees—page 14), then sick leave used would have been 

about the same proportion in the States as in the Federal 

Government. Therefore, proportional expenditures for all 

health and insurance programs for all States would have 

approximated those in the Federal Government and in the 

comparison frame (between 5.2 and 5.4 percent of compensation), although they still would have been higher than the 

4.7 percent in the total private sector. Insurance repreFOOTNOTES

1 Total employment (i.e. full- and part-time workers) in institutions of higher education was 39 percent of all employment in State 

governments in 1972. See 1972 Census o f Governments, Compendium o f Public Employment, No. 2 of volume 3, Public Employment (Bureau of the Census, 1974) p. 15.

2 In the Federal Government, there is a limit of 30 days (240 

hours) of annual leave which may be carried over from year to year. 

There is no limit for sick leave.

3 These were adjusted to annual rates according to the length of 

the pay period. Thus, data for weekly pay periods were multiplied 

by 52; for biweekly pay periods, by 26; and for monthly periods, by 

12.

s Working time consists of all paid hours less leave hours. Time 

spent in the office or the plant of the State agencies on coffee 

breaks, rest periods, etc. is considered as work hours in accordance 

with the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

6 Although some States were covered by the Federal unemployment insurance program, they were not liable for their contributions 

until after June 30,1972.

7 For data on the private sector see Employee Compensation in

the Private Nonfarm Economy, 7972, Bull. 1873, (Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, 1975), p. 5 and table 22.

8 The 5 States for which no social security contributions were 

reported were Colorado, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, and Ohio.

In 1972, it was estimated that 75 percent of full time State government employees (including higher education) were covered 

by social security.

9 In calendar year 1971, the maximum amount of wages taxable 

for social security was $7,800 per year; 1972 the ceiling was $9,000.

In most States, fiscal year 1972 ended on June 30.

10 Moreover, personal leave in some States may be counted as 

annual leave.

11 Three-fourths of full-time workers (including those in higher 

education) were covered by health, hospitals, or disability insurance

sented 1.6 percent o f compensation in the States and 1.9

percent in the Federal Government, compared to 3.0

percent in the total private economy and 3.9 percent in the

comparison frame. '

Matching the pattern in the Federal Government, State

expenditures for unemployment programs and bonuses

were no more than 0.5 percent of compensation. In both

sectors of private industry these two programs, plus savings

and thrift plans which do not exist in government,

accounted for a little over 2 percent of compensation.

15 The maximum amount of leave earned in 1 year is not the same 

as maximum leave accumulation. The latter is a ceiling on the 

amount of leave which may be carried from year to year by the 

employee.

16 New York’s plan had been contributory until Jan. 1, 1964. 

Although it is noncontributory for workers employed since that 

date, some participants under the older arrangement elected to 

continue their contributions, mainly to purchase additional benefits.

Appendix: Survey Methods and Definitions of Terms

Scope of the survey

The survey covered State government agencies (except 

those in higher education), which employed 10 workers or 

more.1 These agencies accounted for 95 percent of all 

employment and 98 percent of gross payrolls.2 Data relate 

to fiscal year 1972 and are limited to outlays by State 

government for the compensation of employees and the 

hours paid for, including working hours and leave time.

Methods of collection and processing

Data were collected by the Bureau of the Census in 

conjunction with its Quinquennial Census of Governments. 

Data on fiscal year payrolls, and on full-time and part-time 

employment and payrolls for the pay period including 

October 15, 1972, were obtained from regular Census of 

Government returns from each government agency. Additional data required for this study were obtained from 

approximately 2,600 data collection forms mailed to State 

agencies and completed by them.

The information provided on these forms included fiscal 

year data on outlays by the State on behalf of its 

employees for social security, State retirement plans, 

unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, life, sickness, and accident, and health insurance, and nonproduction bonuses such as special awards for outstanding 

performance, prizes under suggestion programs, and for 

length of service. The forms also provided annual or fiscal 

year data on total paid hours, hours and pay for holiday 

leave, overtime hours and pay (straight-time and premiums), and premiums for holiday, weekend, and late-shift 

work. Information on hours and pay for earned sick and 

vacation leave and for civic and personal leave taken were 

obtained for the pay period including October 15. These 

were adjusted to annual rates, and related to annual hours 

and payroll. This procedure differed from the one used in 

the Bureau’s studies of compensation in private industry, in 

which actual hours and pay for leave are collected for the 

year, and was necessary because many States were unable 

to report these data for the year. Otherwise, the definitions 

and techniques of measuring compensation and its components were the same as those which the Bureau uses for 

its studies of compensation in private industry.

All returned data collection forms were reviewed by BLS 

staff for completeness, reasonableness, and consistency. 

Problems relating to the reporting of data were resolved

primarily through telephone calls to appropriate State 

officials. If data were not available from the reporting 

agency, they were estimated on the basis of data reported 

by other agencies of similar size and function within the 

State. Forms for a few smaller units were eliminated 

because gaps and inconsistencies in the data could not be 

resolved or eliminated by these methods.

Data on compensation of employees in educational 

institutions were collected. However, because of technical 

problems with the reported information, it was not possible 

to include data for this function in this study. Data on 

policies and practices were gathered from State laws, 

publications of the Council of State Governments, and the 

files of the Governments Division of the Bureau of the 

Census. Data on paid hours in the Federal Government 

were taken from the publication of the U.S. Office of 

Management and Budget, Manyears and Personnel Costs in

the Executive Branch o f the Federal Government, Fiscal

Year 1972. Leave data reported on a calendar year basis 

were adjusted to a fiscal year basis by averaging the 

appropriate successive years. Data on compensation in the 

Federal Government were reported by the U.S. Office of 

Management and Budget. Data on private sector compensation and hours are from Employee Compensation in the

Private Nonfarm Economy, 1972, Bulletin 1873 (Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, 1975).

Method of computation and tabulation

All tables for this study are presented in percentages or 

dollars per hour. The proportion of total compensation 

accounted for by an item is expressed in two ways: 

Aggregate expenditures for the item as a percent of 

aggregate expenditures for compensation in (1) all establishments, or (2) only establishments that had expenditures for 

the item. Similarly, dollars per hour expenditures for an 

item are derived by dividing aggregate expenditures for the 

item by hours (either worked or paid for) in all establishments and in only those that had expenditures for the item.

Dollars per hour expenditures are outlays for the item 

divided by the total hours of all agencies, or the aggregate 

hours of only those that reported expenditures.

Definitions of terms

Compensation is the sum of payments subject to Federal 

withholding taxes, made to State government employees

before deductions of any type, and outlays by State 

governments for legally required or State instituted insurance and other benefit programs for employees.

Wages and salaries include all payments reported on IRS 

W-2 forms. They consist of pay for working time; pay for 

vacations and/or annual leave, holidays, sick leave, and 

personal, civic, and military leave; severance pay; and 

nonproduction bonuses.

Supplements to wages and salaries consist of State 

government contributions to retirement programs (including direct pay for pensioners under pay-as-you-go plans), 

social security, life insurance and health benefit programs 

(except sick leave), and unemployment benefit programs 

(except severance pay).

Straight-time pay includes pay for regular straight-time 

hours and straight-time pay for overtime but excludes all 

premium pay.

Paid hours consist of time worked, time spent at the 

workplace which is not worked but is paid for (e.g., rest 

periods and coffee breaks) and time spent on paid leave 

from the place of work.

Work hours consist of all paid hours except time spent 

on paid leave away from the workplace.

Employees include all workers employed by the State, 

whether full time or part time, permanent or otherwise, 

except members of State legislatures and certain appointed 

or elected officials such as judges and members of certain 

State boards and commissions.
