Internet address: http://stats.bls.gov/newsrels.htm Technical information: (202) 606-6567 USDL 99-171 For release: 10:00 A.M. EDT Media contact: 606-5902 Wednesday, June 23, 1999 AVERAGE ANNUAL PAY BY STATE AND INDUSTRY, 1997 The average annual pay of all workers covered by state and federal unemployment insurance (UI) programs was $30,336 in 1997, a 4.8 percent gain over the 1996 national average, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. The annual pay of private industry workers, comprising 84.4 percent of the nation's employment, rose 5.1 percent in 1997, while pay for government workers rose 3.2 percent. In 1996, the increase in pay for private sector employees was 4.2 percent and for government workers, 3.1 percent. The 1997 growth in wages represented the largest annual pay gain since 1992, when wages increased 5.4 percent. (See chart 1.) Average annual pay for U.S. workers grew 45.4 percent ($9,479) from 1987 to 1997. The attached tables contain pay data for the nation, each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Data for Puerto Rico are not included in the national averages. Annual pay data are compiled from reports submitted by employers subject to state and federal unemployment insurance (UI) laws, covering 121.1 million full- and part-time workers. Average annual pay is computed by dividing total annual payrolls of employees covered by UI programs by the average monthly number of these employees. (See Technical Note on page 5.) Pay differences among states reflect the varying composition of employment by occupation, industry, and hours of work, as well as other factors. For example, average annual pay levels in retail trade industries will be reduced by having a large number of part-time workers. Correspond- ingly, pay levels in construction industries will be reduced by having part-year employment that is impacted by weather and seasonal factors. Similarly, over-the-year pay changes may reflect shifts in these charac- teristics, as well as changes in the level of average pay. States The District of Columbia led the nation with an average annual pay level of $46,775 in 1997. (See table 2.) Among the states, Connecticut had the highest pay level ($38,895), followed by New York ($38,497), New Jersey ($37,513), and Massachusetts ($35,710). The 1997 pay levels of these five highest-ranking jurisdictions, which account for 14 percent of the nation's employment, ranged from 18 to 54 percent higher than the U.S. average of $30,336. The same 10 states and the District of Columbia have held the top 11 pay level positions every year since 1987, although there have been shifts in individual rankings. The other six states occupying the top positions were, in order of 1997 pay levels, California, Alaska, Illinois, Michigan, Delaware, and Maryland. Washington reported the twelfth highest pay level in 1997. Average annual pay in Washington surpassed the national average for the first time since 1984. - 2 - Among the states, South Dakota's average annual pay was the lowest during 1997 ($21,645). The next lowest pay levels occurred in Montana ($21,947), North Dakota ($22,047), Mississippi ($22,772), and Arkansas ($23,268). These states have posted the five lowest average annual pay figures for the past 10 years, although individual rankings have shifted. For these states, the 1997 average annual pay figures were 23 to 29 percent less than the U.S. average. Average annual pay levels for 39 states registered below the U.S. average in 1997. Combined, workers in these states account for over 62 percent of the covered employment for the nation. In Puerto Rico, average annual pay was $16,963, the lowest pay level in 1997 for all jurisdictions. Annual pay gains were stronger in 1997 than in 1996 (See chart 2.) In 1997, annual pay grew by at least 4.5 percent in 27 states, whereas only 10 states reached this growth rate in 1996. A total of eight states posted pay growth rates of 5.5 percent or higher in 1997, compared with only two states in 1996. In 1997, no state or jurisdiction reported a decline in average annual pay. Only four states posted pay increases below 3.5 percent in 1997, compared with 18 states the previous year. Alaska registered the smallest increase in pay (2.1 percent) from 1996 to 1997, followed by West Virginia (2.7 percent), Idaho (3.0 percent), and Nevada (3.2 percent). Of these four states, all achieved a higher annual pay increase in 1997 than in 1996 except for Nevada, where the growth rate dropped by 1.1 percentage points. (See table 3.) Washington experienced the largest percentage increase in pay from 1996 to 1997 (6.5 percent), exceeding the pay growth for the nation (4.8 percent) by 1.7 percentage points. This marks the first year since 1992 that a state reported annual pay growth exceeding 6 percent. Large gains also were reported in Connecticut (6.3 percent), New Hampshire (5.8 percent), Georgia and Texas (5.6 percent each), and Illinois, Nebraska, and Virginia (5.5 percent each). Pay growth in all of these states exceeded the national growth rate for the second straight year. Washington posted strong 1997 pay gains in several industries, with the greatest increase (10.4 percent), occurring in services. The next largest increase occurred in finance, insurance, and real estate (8.7 percent), followed closely by mining (8.4 percent) and transportation, communications, and public utilities (7.7 percent). Significant gains in manufacturing and wholesale trade contributed to the high pay growth in Connecticut. Industry Average annual pay levels for the nation varied widely by industry. (See table 4.) The highest average annual pay in 1997 occurred in the mining industry--$49,995. (See chart 3.) Mining pay was 66 percent greater than the national average for private sector workers in 1997. Mining, which accounts for less than 1 percent of private sector employment, has held this top position since 1980 when BLS began publishing industry average annual pay levels. The next highest pay level was registered in finance, insurance, and real estate--$44,860, which was 49 percent higher than average pay for all private industry workers. Retail trade recorded the lowest pay ($15,877), as it has every year since 1980. The average annual pay of retail workers was 40 percent lower than private sector average pay in 1980; by 1997, their relative wages dropped to 47 percent below the national average pay for private industry. The retail trade industry, which employs a large proportion of part-time workers, has shown a steady decline in average weekly hours worked over time. From 1980 to 1997, average weekly hours of retail workers dropped 1.3 hours compared with a decline of 0.7 hour for total private industry. (Average weekly hours figures were obtained from the Current Employment Statistics program.) Average pay in the services industry, the largest single component of the private sector, reached $28,446 in 1997. - 3 - Within the private sector, the largest over-the-year percentage increase in pay occurred in the finance, insurance, and real estate industry (7.5 percent) for the third consecutive year. The next largest gain was posted in manufacturing (5.7 percent), followed by wholesale trade (5.1 percent). Combined, these three industries account for 32 percent of private industry employment. The mining industry had the fourth highest pay increase (5.0 percent). The smallest pay gains among the eight major private industry divisions occurred in the transportation, communications, and public utilities industry and in the retail trade industry (4.3 percent each). The average annual pay level for the public sector, which includes federal, state, and local government establishments, was $31,864 in 1997; an increase of 3.2 percent over 1996. (See chart 4.) Average annual pay gains in the private sector have outpaced those of government workers for the past three years. Average annual pay in the public sector was 6 percent higher than private sector pay in 1997, declining from 8 percent in 1996 and a high of 10 percent in 1994. Over the previous five years, pay grew 15 percent in the public sector, 3 percentage points below the 18 percent growth rate in the private sector. Over the past 10 years, average annual pay for government employees rose 44 percent, while pay for private industry workers increased 46 percent. The relative difference between these two sectors tended to average out over this longer period. Technical Note These data are the product of a federal-state cooperative program known as Covered Employment and Wages, or the ES-202 program. The data are derived from summaries of employment and total pay of workers covered by unemployment insurance (UI) legislation and provided by State Employment Security Agencies (SESAs). The summaries are a by-product of the administration of state unemployment insurance programs that require most employers to pay quarterly taxes based on the employment and wages of workers covered by UI. Data for 1997 are preliminary and subject to revision. Effective with third-quarter 1997 processing, employment and wage totals were generated using new systems in each of the states and at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This transition to new systems may result in larger differences between preliminary and final 1997 levels. This is the first year BLS has published annual pay data for Puerto Rico in this release. Coverage Employment and wage data for workers covered by state UI laws and for federal civilian workers covered by the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program are compiled from quarterly contribution reports submitted to the SESAs by employers. In addition to the quarterly contribution reports, employers who operate multiple establishments within a state complete a questionnaire, called the "Multiple Worksite Report," which provides detailed information on the location and industry of each of their establishments. Average annual employment and pay data included in this release are derived from microdata summaries of nearly 7.5 million employer reports of employment and wages submitted by states to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These reports are based on place of employment rather than place of residence. UI and UCFE coverage is broad and basically comparable from state to state. In 1997, UI and UCFE programs covered workers in 121.1 million jobs. The estimated 115.8 million workers in these jobs (after adjustment for multiple job holders) represented 97.4 percent of wage and salary civilian employment. Multiple job holder estimates are produced by the Current Population Survey (CPS). Covered workers received $3.673 trillion in pay, representing 94.4 percent of the wage and salary component of personal income and 45.3 percent of the gross domestic product. Major exclusions from UI coverage during 1997 included most agricultural workers on small farms, all members of the Armed Forces, elected officials in most states, most employees of railroads, some domestic workers, most student workers at schools, and employees of certain small nonprofit organizations. Concepts and methodology Average annual pay was computed by dividing total annual pay of employees covered by UI programs by the average monthly number of these employees. Included in the annual payroll data are bonuses, the cash value of meals and lodging when supplied, tips and other gratuities, and, in some states, employer contributions to certain deferred compensation plans such as 401(k) plans, and stock options. Monthly employment is based on the number of workers who worked during or received pay for the pay period including the 12th of the month. With few exceptions, all employees of covered firms are reported, including production and sales workers, corporation officials, executives, supervisory personnel, and clerical workers. Workers on paid vacations and part-time workers also are included. Percent changes in average annual pay were computed using final 1996 data as the base. These final 1996 data may differ from the preliminary 1996 data previously published. Average annual pay is affected by the ratio of full-time to part-time workers as well as the number of individuals in high-paying and low-paying occupations. When comparing average annual pay levels between industries and/or states, these factors should be taken into consideration. Annual pay data only approximate annual earnings because an individual may not be employed by the same employer all year or may work for more than one employer. Also, year-to-year changes in average annual pay can result from a change in the proportion of employment in high- and low- wage jobs, as well as from changes in the level of average annual pay. In order to insure the highest possible quality of data, SESAs verify with employers and update, if necessary, the industry, location, and ownership classification of all establishments on a 3-year cycle. Changes in establishment classification codes resulting from the verification process are introduced with the data reported for the first quarter of the year. Changes resulting from improved employer reporting also are introduced in the first quarter. For these reasons, some data, especially at more detailed industry levels, may not be strictly comparable with earlier years. In 1997, effective with first-quarter data, improved Department of Defense civilian employment and wages were centrally collected from a new data source. Data in table 4 are presented separately for the private sector and for government. Government data include federal, state, and local establishments. A few covered employers provided insufficient information on the nature of their businesses to assign a specific SIC classification and therefore could not be classified by industry division. The wages for these non- classifiable establishments, along with data for the agricultural division, are not shown separately, but are included in the averages for state and national totals. Additional statistics and other information Average annual employment and pay data by state and industry are available upon request from the Division of Occupational and Administrative Statistics, Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20212, telephone 202-606-6567 (e-mail:202-info@bls.gov). BLS now issues three other reports which provide data from state UI and UCFE programs. A news release on average annual pay for the nation's metropolitan areas is scheduled to be issued in the summer of 1999. Also published from this program is the comprehensive bulletin, Employment and Wages, which features information by detailed industry on establishments, employment, and wages for the nation and all states. Employment and Wages Annual, 1997 is now available for sale from the BLS Publications Sales Center, P.O. Box 2145, Chicago, Illinois 60690. The news release for 1997 employment and average annual pay for large counties is scheduled to be released in the summer of 1999. This release was published for the first time in November 1998 for 1996 data. This news release, along with other BLS statistics and information, is available via the Internet at the BLS World Wide Web site (http://stats.bls.gov/newsrels.htm). Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request. Voice phone: 202-606-STAT; TDD phone: 202-606-5897; TDD message referral phone number: 1-800-326-2577.
