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. The major difference between these two surveys 

is that the Occupational Compensation Survey 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 East North Central census division. (See 

Technical Note.) It provides estimates of occupational pay 

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

and establishment characteristics. 

NCS bulletins were published for eight census divisions: New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, 

West North Central, South Atlantic, West South Central, 

Mountain, and Pacific. Estimates for the East South Central census division did not meet publishability standards.

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. 

The data presented in this bulletin also are displayed in 

a Portable Document Format (PDF) on the BLS Internet 

site at http://www.bls.gov/ncs/home.htm. Material in the 

bulletin is in the public domain and, with appropriate

Occupational Wages in the East North 

Central Census Division, December 2000 

his bulletin provides December 2000 National Compensation Survey (NCS) estimates of occupational pay 

in the East North Central 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 East North Central census division averaged $16.08 per hour in December 2000. Workers in 

private industry in the East North Central region averaged 

$15.32 per hour, while pay of workers in State and local 

government averaged $21.53 per hour. The nationwide 

hourly average for all workers covered by the survey was 

$16.23. 

Table 1 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 

$18.15 per hour; blue-collar workers averaged $14.54, and 

service workers, $8.62. Corresponding averages in State 

and local government were $24.68, $16.88, and $15.54. 

Generally, 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 East North Central region averaged $16.92 per hour, while part-time workers averaged 

$9.09. In private industry, full-time workers averaged 

$16.16 an hour and part-time workers averaged $8.76. For 

workers in State and local government, average hourly pay 

was $22.03 and $13.57, respectively. Full-time or parttime designation is based on the employer’s definition of 

those terms. 

Workers in the largest establishments—those with 

2,500 or more employees—earned $23.12 per hour. Workers in the smallest establishments (1 to 99 employees) 

averaged $13.17. 

Table 2 provides an overview of average pay data by 

worker and establishment characteristics in metropolitan 

and nonmetropolitan areas. For example, white-collar 

workers in metropolitan areas averaged $19.28 per hour, 

blue-collar workers averaged $14.66, and service workers 

$9.88. Corresponding averages in nonmetropolitan areas 

were $18.74, $14.39, and $10.96. See the Technical Note 

for definitions of metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. 

Among the census divisions, average earnings generally 

were highest in the New England, Middle Atlantic, and 

Pacific regions. Average earnings for the 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 East North Central region are shown in 

tables 3, 4, and 5. These tables contain wage rates and 

mean weekly hours for individual occupations and for the 

major occupational groups. For example, all registered 

nurses averaged $21.47 per hour (table 3). Registered 

nurses in private industry averaged $21.30 (table 4), while 

their counterparts in State and local government averaged 

$22.68 per hour (table 5). Laborers, except construction, 

averaged $10.20 in private industry and $13.25 in State and 

local government. Janitors and cleaners, a service 

occupation, averaged $9.24 in private industry and $12.28 

in State and local government. 

Earnings by occupational group and work level are 

shown in table 6. Generally, earnings increased as work 

levels became higher. For example, mean hourly earnings 

for white-collar workers ranged from $7.22 at level 1 to 

$73.84 at level 15. For blue-collar workers, mean hourly 

earnings ranged from $8.39 at level 1 to $26.03 at level 9. 

Mean hourly earnings for service workers ranged from 

$6.93 at level 1 to $27.82 at level 10. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics applies an “occupational leveling” technique with 

10 criteria to determine the work level. 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 East North 

Central 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 East North Central census 

division by employment size; more establishments were 

studied in the group having 100 to 499 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, collection was conducted between March 2000 and

January 2002. The average reference period was December 2000. 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 eight census divisions. Average hourly earnings and mean weekly hours for

the East South Central census division did not meet publishability standards. See

Technical Note for a list of States comprising 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, collection was conducted between March 2000 and January

2002. The average reference period was December 2000. 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, collection was conducted between March 2000 and January

2002. The average reference period was December 2000. 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, collection was conducted between March 2000 and January

2002. The average reference period was December 2000. 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

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, etc. 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, collection was conducted between March 2000 and January

2002. The average reference period was December 2000. 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 East North Central census division, 

the NCS studied 3,304 establishments representing approximately 15,718,900 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 U.S. Office of 

Management and Budget. Nonmetropolitan areas are 

counties that do not fit the metropolitan area definition. 

The NCS areas that contribute to the East North Central 

census division are: 

Bloomington-Normal, IL, MSA 

Bloomington, IN, MSA 

Chicago-Gary-Kenosha, IL-IN-WI, CMSA 

Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN, CMSA 

Cleveland-Akron, OH, CMSA 

Columbus, OH, MSA 

Dayton-Springfield, OH, MSA 

Delta County, MI 

Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint, MI, CMSA 

Elkhart-Goshen, IN, MSA 

Fond du Lac County, WI 

Grand Rapids-Muskegon-Holland, MI, MSA 

Green Lake County, WI 

Henderson County, IL 

Indianapolis, IN, MSA 

Jefferson County, IN 

Juneau County, WI 

Kalamazoo-Battle Creek, MI, MSA 

Marshall County, IN 

Milwaukee-Racine, WI, CMSA 

Monroe County, OH 

Morgan County, IL 

Rockford, IL, MSA 

Sauk County, WI 

Seneca County, OH 

Wayne County, OH 

Youngstown-Warren, OH, MSA 

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 East North Central region, data were collected between 

March 2000 and January 2002, with an average reference 

period of December 2000. 

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 

T 
47 

 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 

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. 

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, the 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 the respondent, ranks and compares all 

selected establishment occupations using 10 leveling factors. For more information on occupational leveling and 

an example of how to use the criteria for leveling a job, see 

appendixes C and D of any published NCS locality bulletin 

or visit http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm on the 

World Wide Web. The Web site also has a link to the NCS 

job descriptions. 

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 $16.23 per hour with a relative standard error of 1.0 

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

confidence interval for this estimate is $15.96 to $16.50 

($16.23 x 1.645 x 0.010 = $0.2670, round to $0.27); 

($16.23 - .27 = $15.96; $16.23 + .27 = $16.50). 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. They 

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 through the extensive training of field economists 

who gathered survey data by personal visit, computer 

editing of the data, and detailed data review.
