SUMMARY OF CHANGES 

The National Compensation Survey program publishes occupational for each of the nine census divisions. Between 1997 

and August 2006, the census division publications classified occupations under the Occupational Classification System 

(OCS), based on the 1990 Census of Population, and identified establishments by the 1987 Standard Industrial 

Classification (SIC) system. 

The census division publications have recently undergone a number of major changes. Beginning with these estimates, the 

following changes have been introduced: 

1. The 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system 

2. The 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

3. Imputation for temporary nonresponse situations 

4. Benchmarking of estimated employment 

5. New tables 

New classification systems 

The 2000 SOC system defines more than 800 detailed occupations and is designed to reflect the current occupational 

structure in the United States better than previous occupational systems. Detailed occupations are combined into broad 

occupations, broad occupations are combined into minor groups, and minor groups are then combined into major groups. 

This design of several levels of aggregation is intended to meet the widely varying needs of data users. In addition, the 

2002 NAICS system was used to classify establishments by industry. 

Imputation for temporary nonresponse of establishments 

For the first time, the census division program is imputing data for temporary nonresponse situations. The National 

Compensation Survey is voluntary, and a company official may refuse to participate in the initial survey or may be 

unwilling or unable to update previously collected data during a subsequent contact. For those situations where previous 

wage data cannot be updated, an estimate for the missing data is imputed using information obtained from similar 

establishments and occupations. 

Benchmarking of estimated employment 

Post stratification, also known as benchmarking, has been introduced to adjust survey sample weights so that these weights 

reflect the current count of employment by industry. Initial weights are derived when the sample of establishments are 

selected, reflecting employment distribution by industry at that time. Those weights may be up to 7 years old for the oldest 

panel of five sample rotation panels at the time of publication. Benchmarking adjusts those weights to reflect the 

employment distribution by industry for the reference date of the data. 

New tables 

In addition to presenting wage data classified according to the SOC, the census division publications have added the 

following new tables: 

• Table that combines work levels into four bands -- levels 1 through 4, levels 5 through 8, levels 9 through 12, and 

levels 13 through 15. The publication of combined levels is intended to make the wage estimates more useful to 

compensation analysts. 

• Tables that present detailed occupational data by size of establishment--specifically, those with fewer than 100 

workers and those with 100 or more workers. 

• Table with detailed occupational data for supervisory workers. 

• Hourly wage percentiles to describe the distribution of hourly earnings for individual workers within each 

published occupation. Data are provided for the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. 

• Hourly, weekly, and annual average wages for full-time workers in a single table. 

• Tables with detailed occupational data for hospitals.

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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 2 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 appendix A. 3 Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a week,

exclusive of overtime. 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 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational

Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information. 6 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-providing

industries applies to private industry only. Industries are determined by the 2002 North

American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 2 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 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is

evaluated based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and

complexity, contacts, and physical environment. The knowledge factor is tailored

to 24 families of closely related jobs. 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 appendix A for more information. 4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information. 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 appendix A.

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

publication criteria. 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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 2 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 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is

evaluated based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and

complexity, contacts, and physical environment. The knowledge factor is tailored

to 24 families of closely related jobs. 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 appendix A for more information. 4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information. 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 appendix A.

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

publication criteria. 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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 2 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 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is

evaluated based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and

complexity, contacts, and physical environment. The knowledge factor is tailored

to 24 families of closely related jobs. 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 appendix A for more information. 4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information. 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 appendix A.

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

publication criteria. Overall occupational groups may include data for categories

not shown separately

1 Combined work levels simplify the presentation of work levels by combining

levels 1 through 15 into four broad groups. Group I combines levels 1-4, group II

combines levels 5-8, group III combines levels 9-12, and group IV combines

levels 13-15. 2 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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 3 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. 4 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information. 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 appendix A.

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are

calculated from individual-worker earnings and the hours they are

scheduled to work. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours

are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the

same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth

of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the

75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate

shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly

wages are the straight-time 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. 2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more

information.

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are

calculated from individual-worker earnings and the hours they are

scheduled to work. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours

are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the

same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth

of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the

75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate

shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly

wages are the straight-time 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. 2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more

information.

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are

calculated from individual-worker earnings and the hours they are

scheduled to work. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours

are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the

same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth

of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the

75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate

shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly

wages are the straight-time 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. 2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more

information.

1 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. 2 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are

calculated from individual-worker earnings and the hours they are

scheduled to work. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours

are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the

same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth

of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the

75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate

shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly

wages are the straight-time 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. 3 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more

information.

1 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. 2 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are

calculated from individual-worker earnings and the hours they are

scheduled to work. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the hours

are paid the same as or more than the rate shown, and half are paid the

same as or less than the rate shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth

of the hours are paid the same as or less than the rate shown. At the

75th percentile, one-fourth are paid the same as or more than the rate

shown. The 10th and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly

wages are the straight-time 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. 3 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more

information.

1 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. 2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B 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, 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. See

appendix A for more information. 4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries

paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of

the hours are paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean weekly

hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a week, exclusive of

overtime. 5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries

paid to employees. Median annual earnings designates position - one-half of

the hours are paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean annual

hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a year, exclusive of

overtime.

1 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. 2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational

Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B 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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to

employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are

paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an

employee is scheduled to work in a week, exclusive of overtime. 5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to

employees. Median annual earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are

paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an

employee is scheduled to work in a year, exclusive of overtime.

1 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. 2 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational

Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B 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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to

employees. Median weekly earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are

paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an

employee is scheduled to work in a week, exclusive of overtime. 5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to

employees. Median annual earnings designates position - one-half of the hours are

paid the same as or more than the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an

employee is scheduled to work in a year, exclusive of overtime.

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, 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. See appendix A for more information. 2 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 appendix A. 3 Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a week,

exclusive of overtime. 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 Workers are classified by occupation using the 2000 Standard Occupational

Classification (SOC) system. See appendix B for more information. 6 Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-providing

industries applies to private industry only. Industries are determined by the 2002 North

American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Technical Note 

he data in these tables are based on the National Compensation Survey (NCS) conducted by the U.S. 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 New England Census Division, the 

NCS studied 1,952 establishments representing approximately 6,660,600 workers within the scope of the survey. 

(See Appendix tables.) The survey included establishments 

with one or more workers in private goods-producing 

industries, private service-providing industries, State 

governments; and local governments employing 50 or more 

workers. 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. The employment 

figures reflect for the first time post-stratification, to adjust 

survey sample weights to reflect current employment by 

industry. For more information, see the article at 

www.bls.gov/opub/cwc/cm20070122ar01p1.htm. 

Sampling frame. The list of establishments from which the 

survey sample was selected (sampling frame) was developed from 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. 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 

152 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 (MSAs) or 

Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (CMSAs), 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 locality areas that contribute to the New 

England Census Division are: 

Boston-Worcester-Lawrence, MA-NH-ME-CT, CMSA 

Cheshire County, NH 

Grafton County, NH 

Hartford, CT, MSA 

Orange County, VT 

Providence-Fall River-Warwick, RI-MA, MSA 

Springfield, MA, 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 was approximately proportional to 

the stratum employment. Each sampled establishment was 

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 

sampling of occupations within a sampled establishment. 

Data collection. Collection was the responsibility of field 

economists, working out of the BLS regional offices, who 

contacted each establishment surveyed. Collection was 

conducted between December 2005 and January 2007. 

The average payroll reference month was June 2006. For 

each establishment in the survey, the data reflect the 

establishment’s practices on the day of collection. 

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 

2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 

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 whose jobs could be characterized by the criteria 

identified in the last three steps. If a specific work level 

could not be determined, wages were still collected. 

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 

T
A-2 

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. NCS 

now uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification 

(SOC) system. A selected job may fall into any one of 

about 800 occupational classifications, from accountant to 

zoologist. For cases in which a job’s duties overlapped two 

or more SOC classification codes, the duties used to set the 

wage level were used to classify the job. Classification by 

primary duties was the fallback. 

Each occupational classification is an element of a 

broader classification known as a major group. 

Occupations can fall into any of 22 major groups (the 

group 55-0000, Military Specific Occupations, is not 

included). For more information on the SOC classification 

system and a complete list of all occupations, see the BLS 

Internet site www.bls.gov/soc/home.htm. 

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. The worker also 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, matches certain aspects of a 

job to specific levels of work with assigned point values. 

Points for each factor are then totaled to determine the 

overall work level for the job. For more information on 

occupational leveling and an example of how to use the 

criteria for leveling a job, see the publication “National 

Compensation Survey: Guide for Evaluating Your Firm’s 

Jobs and Pay,” available at the BLS Internet site 

http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/sp/ncbr0004.pdf. 

Data reliability. The data in these tables are estimates from 

a scientifically selected probability sample. There are two 

types of errors possible in an estimate based on a sample 

survey, sampling errors and nonsampling errors. 

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 result of 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 standard error can be used to calculate a 

“confidence interval” around a sample estimate. As an 

example, suppose a table shows that mean hourly earnings 

for all workers of $19.29 per hour and a relative standard 

error of 1.2 percent for this estimate. At the 90-percent 

level, the confidence interval for this estimate is from 

$18.91 to $19.67 ($19.29 x 1.645 x 0.012 = $0.3808, 

rounded to $0.38); ($19.29 - 0.38 = $18.91; $19.29 + 0.38 

= $19.67). 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.
