Preface 

he National Compensation Survey (NCS) provides 

comprehensive measures of occupational earnings, 

compensation cost trends, benefit incidence, and detailed 

benefit provisions. This bulletin focuses on occupational 

earnings. 

The NCS replaced the Occupational Compensation Survey (OCS) in 1996. The major difference between these 

two surveys is that the OCS used the same preselected list 

of occupations for all localities. The NCS uses a probability-based sample of establishments and occupations that is 

intended to represent more fully the employment patterns 

and occupational mix of each locality. 

This bulletin presents aggregated pay data from the 

metropolitan and nonmetropolitan local area surveys conducted in the Pacific Census Division. (See Technical 

Note.) The bulletin provides estimates of occupational pay 

for the census division, as well as selected data by worker 

and establishment characteristics. 

NCS bulletins are published for nine census divisions: 

New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West 

North Central, South Atlantic, East South Central, West 

South Central, Mountain, and Pacific.

BLS field economists collected and reviewed the 

survey data. The Office of Compensation and Working 

Conditions, in cooperation with the Office of Field 

Operations and the Office of Technology and Survey 

Processing in the BLS National Office, designed the 

survey, processed the data, and prepared the survey for 

publication. The survey could not have been conducted 

without the cooperation of the many private and 

government jurisdictions that provided pay data included in 

this bulletin. BLS thanks these respondents for their 

cooperation. 

Data presented in this bulletin also are displayed in a 

Portable Document Format (PDF) on the BLS Internet site

Occupational Wages in the Pacific 

Census Division, July 2002 

his bulletin provides July 2002 National Compensation 

Survey (NCS) estimates of occupational pay in the 

Pacific Census Division. The bulletin highlights average 

(mean) hourly pay for workers by seven characteristics: 

• Private industry and State and local government 

• Metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas 

• Selected occupations and major occupational 

groups 

• Full-time and part-time status 

• Bargaining status 

• Size of establishment 

• Work level 

Wages in the Pacific Census Division averaged $19.08 

per hour in July 2002. Workers in private industry in the 

Pacific region averaged $18.01 per hour, while pay of 

workers in State and local government averaged $24.87 per 

hour. The nationwide hourly average for all workers 

covered by the survey was $17.18. 

Table 1 in this bulletin provides an overview of average 

pay for workers in private industry and State and local 

government by selected worker and establishment characteristics. For example, white-collar workers in private industry averaged $22.36 per hour; blue-collar workers averaged $15.28; and service occupations, $9.79. Corresponding averages in State and local government were $26.44, 

$20.76, and $21.46. Overall average hourly earnings for 

private industry workers were lower than those for State 

and local government workers. Part of this difference can 

be explained by differences in the occupational and industrial mix of the two sectors. For example, professional 

specialty and technical occupations are more prevalent in 

State and local government than in private industry. 

Conversely, few State and local government workers are in 

goods-producing industries other than construction. 

Full-time workers in the Pacific region averaged $20.13 

per hour, while part-time workers averaged $11.46. In 

private industry, full-time workers averaged $19.08 an 

hour, and part-time workers averaged $10.63. For workers 

in State and local government, average hourly pay was 

$25.56 and $17.78, respectively. Full-time or part-time 

designation is based on the employer’s definition of those 

terms. 

Average hourly pay is generally higher for workers in 

larger establishments. In the Pacific region, workers in 

large establishments—that is, establishments with 2,500 or 

more workers—had average hourly pay of $26.00. Work 

ers in the smallest establishment-size category studied (1 to 

99 employees) averaged $16.14.

Table 2 shows that workers in metropolitan areas averaged $19.22 per hour, while the average pay for workers in 

nonmetropolitan areas was $16.10. Table 2 also shows that 

for many of the worker and establishment characteristics 

presented, average pay for metropolitan area workers was 

higher than for their counterparts in nonmetropolitan areas. 

(See the Technical Note for definitions of metropolitan and 

nonmetropolitan areas.) 

Among census divisions, average earnings were 

generally highest in the Middle Atlantic, Pacific, and New 

England regions. Average earnings for census divisions, 

and for other characteristics, can be seen in tables 1 and 2. 

Full-time, part-time, and combined average pay rates 

for occupations in private industry and in State and local 

governments in the Pacific region are shown in tables 3, 4, 

and 5. These tables contain wage rates and mean weekly 

hours for individual occupations and for major 

occupational groups. For example, all registered nurses 

averaged $29.92 per hour (table 3). Registered nurses in 

private industry averaged $29.83 (table 4), while their 

counterparts in State and local government averaged 

$30.22 per hour (table 5). Secretaries averaged $16.30 in 

private industry and $17.19 in State and local governments. 

Janitors and cleaners, a service occupation, averaged $9.84 

in private industry and $15.66 in State and local government. 

Earnings by occupational group and levels are shown in 

table 6. In determining the work level, the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics applies an occupational leveling technique to occupations selected during the collection process, 

using 10 criteria to level occupations. Usually, results tend 

to show higher pay at higher levels. In this region, average 

hourly earnings of white-collar workers ranged from $8.24 

for work level 1 to $74.16 for level 14. Average earnings 

of blue-collar workers ranged from $8.44 (level 1) to 

$42.53 (level 10); service workers’ average earnings 

ranged from $7.77 (level 1) to $34.76 (level 10). (The 

Technical Note has more information on occupational 

leveling.) 

Table A in the Technical Note shows the number of 

workers represented by the surveys in the Pacific Census 

Division by major occupational group, such as professional specialty and technical, sales, and transportation and 

material moving. Table B shows the number of establishments studied in the Pacific Census Division by 

employment size; more establishments were studied in the 

group having 1 to 99 workers than in any other size 

category.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.

They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded

are premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses;

and tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by

the number of workers, weighted by hours. 2 In this census division, data were collected between December 2001 and

January 2003. The average reference period was July 2002. 3 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a

percent of the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a

sample estimate. For more information about RSEs, see Technical Note. 4 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule

based on the definition used by each establishment. Union workers are those

whose wages are determined through collective bargaining. Wages of time workers

are based solely on hourly rate or salary; incentive workers are those whose wages

are at least partially based on productivity payments such as piece rates,

commissions, and production bonuses. 5 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to

cover all workers in the civilian economy. See Technical Note for more information. 6 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-producing

industries applies to private industry only. 7 Estimates include private establishments employing 1 to 99 workers and

State and local government establishments employing 50 to 99 workers. 8 Data are presented for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area divisions as

well as nine census divisions. See Technical Note for a list of States making up the

nine census divisions.

NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet

publication criteria.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees. They

include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium

pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is

computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,

weighted by hours. 2 Total includes full-time and part-time workers. Employees are classified as working

either a full-time or a part-time schedule based on the definition used by each

establishment. Therefore, a worker with a 35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered

a full-time employee in one establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where

a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule. 3 In this census division, data were collected between December 2001 and January

2003. The average reference period was July 2002. 4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all

workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note. 5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of the

estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For

more information about RSEs, see Technical Note.

NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication

criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall occupational groups may

include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees. They

include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium

pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is

computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,

weighted by hours. 2 Total includes full-time and part-time workers. Employees are classified as working

either a full-time or a part-time schedule based on the definition used by each

establishment. Therefore, a worker with a 35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered

a full-time employee in one establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where

a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule. 3 In this census division, data were collected between December 2001 and January

2003. The average reference period was July 2002. 4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all

workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note. 5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of the

estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For

more information about RSEs, see Technical Note.

NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication

criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall occupational groups may

include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees. They

include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium

pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is

computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,

weighted by hours. 2 Total includes full-time and part-time workers. Employees are classified as working

either a full-time or a part-time schedule based on the definition used by each

establishment. Therefore, a worker with a 35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered

a full-time employee in one establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where

a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule. 3 In this census division, data were collected between December 2001 and January

2003. The average reference period was July 2002. 4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all

workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note. 5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of the

estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For

more information about RSEs, see Technical Note.

NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication

criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall occupational groups may

include data for categories not shown separately.

1 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all

workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see Technical Note. 2 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated based

on 10 factors, including knowledge, complexity, work environment, and so forth. Points are

assigned based on the occupation’s rank within each factor. The points are summed to

determine the overall level of the occupation. See the Technical Note for more information. 3 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees. They

include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are premium

pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is

computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,

weighted by hours. 4 In this census division, data were collected between December 2001 and January

2003. The average reference period was July 2002. 5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of the

estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For

more information about RSEs, see Technical Note.

NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication

criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall occupational groups may

include data for categories not shown separately.

Technical Note 

he data in this bulletin are based on the National Compensation Survey (NCS) conducted by the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics (BLS) throughout the year. The surveys 

are locality-based and cover establishments in private industry and State and local governments. Bulletins are issued for individual localities when sufficient data meet 

publication standards. Agriculture, private households, and 

the Federal Government are excluded from the scope of the 

survey. 

Survey scope. In the Pacific Census Division, the NCS 

studied 3,238 establishments representing approximately 

12,164,900 workers within the scope of the survey. Beginning with the 1999 NCS, private sector establishments with 

one or more workers are included in the survey. State and 

local governments with 50 or more workers also are included. The number of workers represented by the survey 

is shown in table A, and the number of establishments is 

shown in table B. For purposes of this survey, an establishment is an economic unit that produces goods or services, a central administrative office, or an auxiliary unit 

providing support services to a company. For private industries in this survey, the establishment is usually at a 

single physical location. For State and local governments, 

an establishment is defined as all locations of a government 

entity. 

Sampling frame. The list of establishments from which the 

survey sample was selected (sampling frame) was developed from the State unemployment insurance reports. The 

reference month for the public sector is June 1994. Due to 

the volatility of industries within the private sector, sampling frames were developed using the most recent month 

of reference available at the time the sample was selected. 

The reference month for the private sector varied by area. 

Sample design and data collection. The sample for this 

survey was selected using a three-stage design. The first 

stage consisted of the selection of areas. The nationwide 

NCS sample consists of 154 metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas that represent the Nation’s 326 metropolitan 

statistical areas and the remaining portions of the 50 States. 

Metropolitan areas are designated Metropolitan Statistical 

Areas (MSA) or Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (CMSA), as defined in 1994 by the Office of Management and Budget. Nonmetropolitan areas are counties that 

do not fit the metropolitan area definition. 

The NCS locality areas that contribute to the Pacific 

Census Division are: 

Anchorage, AK, MSA 

Clatsop County, OR 

Crook County, OR 

Fairbanks-North Star County, AK 

Honolulu, HI, MSA 

Juneau County, AK 

Kauai County, HI 

Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County, CA, CMSA 

Portland-Salem, OR-WA, CMSA 

Richland-Kennewick-Pasco, WA, MSA 

Sacramento-Yolo, CA, CMSA 

Salinas, CA, MSA 

San Diego, CA, MSA 

San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA, CMSA 

Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton, WA, CMSA 

Skagit County, WA 

Visalia-Tulare-Porterville, CA, MSA 

Wasco County, OR 

In the second stage, the sample of establishments was 

drawn by first stratifying the sampling frame by ownership 

and industry. The number of sample establishments allocated to each stratum is approximately proportional to the 

stratum employment. Each sampled establishment is selected within a stratum with a probability proportional to 

its employment. Use of this technique means that the 

larger an establishment’s employment, the greater the 

establishment’s chance of selection. Weights were applied 

to each establishment when the data were tabulated so that 

the establishment represents similar units (by industry and 

employment size) in the economy that were not selected 

for data collection. 

The third stage of sample selection was a probability 

sample of occupations within a sampled establishment. In 

the Pacific region, data were collected between December 

2001 and January 2003, with an average reference period 

of July 2002. 

Occupational selection and classification. Identification 

of the occupations for which wage data were collected was 

a four-step process: 

1. Probability-proportional-to-size selection of establishment jobs 

2. Classification of jobs into occupations based on the 

Census of Population system 

3. Characterization of jobs as full-time vs. part-time, 

union vs. nonunion, and time vs. incentive 

4. Determination of the level of work of each job 

For each occupation, wage data were collected for those 

workers who met all the criteria identified in the last three 

steps. Special procedures were developed for jobs for 

which a correct classification or level could not be 

T
46

determined. 

In step one, the jobs to be sampled were selected at 

each establishment by the BLS field economist during a 

personal visit. A complete list of employees was used for 

sampling, with each selected worker representing a job 

within the establishment. As with the selection of establishments, the selection of a job was based on probability 

proportional to its size in the establishment. The greater 

the number of people working in a job in the establishment, the greater its chance of selection. stop 

The second step of the process entailed classifying the 

selected jobs into occupations based on their duties. The 

NCS occupational classification system is based on the 

1990 Census of Population. A selected job may fall into 

any one of about 480 occupational classifications, from 

accountant to wood lathe operator. For cases in which a 

job’s duties overlapped two or more census classification 

codes, duties used to set the wage level were used to 

classify the job. Classification by primary duties was the 

fallback. 

In step three, certain other job characteristics of the 

chosen workers were identified. First, the worker was 

identified as holding either a full-time or part-time job, 

based on the establishment’s definition of those terms. 

Then, the worker was classified as having a time or incentive job, depending on whether any part of pay was directly based on the actual production of the worker, rather 

than solely on hours worked. Finally, the worker was identified as being in a union or a nonunion job. 

The fourth step in the job classification procedure was 

to determine the work level of each of the establishment's 

selected jobs, using an occupational leveling process. This 

process, involving discussions between the BLS field 

economist and respondent, ranks and compares all selected

Data reliability. 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 and not from an entire population. The 

sample used for this survey is one of a number of 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 of estimates 

from all possible samples. The relative standard error 

(RSE) is the standard error divided by the estimate. Tables 

in this bulletin provide RSE data for indicated series. 

The relative standard error can be used to calculate a 

confidence interval around a sample estimate. As an 

example, suppose the mean hourly earnings for all workers 

were $17.18 per hour with a relative standard error of 0.8 

percent for this estimate. At the 90-percent level, the 

confidence interval for this estimate is $16.90 to $17.46 

($17.18 x 1.645 x 0.008 = $0.2828, round to $0.28); 

($17.18 - .28 = $16.90; $17.18 + .28 = $17.46). If all 

possible samples were selected to estimate the population 

value, the interval from each sample would include the true 

population value approximately 90 percent of the time. 

Nonsampling errors also affect survey results. These 

errors can stem from many sources, such as inability to 

obtain information for some establishments, difficulties 

with survey definitions, inability of the respondents to 

provide correct information, or mistakes in recording or 

coding the data obtained. Although such errors were not 

specifically measured, efforts were made to minimize 

nonsampling errors by the extensive training of field 

economists who gathered survey data by personal visit, 

computer editing of the data, and detailed data review. 

Census area divisions. Data are tabulated by census 

divisions defined as follows: New England—Connecticut, 

Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and 

Rhode Island; Middle Atlantic—New Jersey, New York,

1 Number of workers represented by the survey are rounded

to the nearest 100. Estimates of the number of workers provide a

description of 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. Both full-time and part-time workers were included in the

survey.

2 A classification system including about 480 individual

occupations is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy.

For more information, see Technical Note. 3 In this census division, data were collected between

December 2001 and January 2003. The average reference period

was July 2002.
