Another occupational group, building and grounds cleaning and maintenance, had a mean hourly wage rate of $13.38. The NCS data available for the Dayton area include earnings for 20 major occupational groups with additional detail for selected occupations within those groups. (See table 1.)
Radiologic technologists and technicians, part of the healthcare practitioner and technical occupational group, were paid $23.85 per hour. Within the office and administrative support occupations group, bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks earned $15.73 per hour. Janitors and cleaners, except maids and housekeeping cleaners, an occupation within the building and grounds cleaning and maintenance occupations group, averaged $14.32 per hour.
Broad coverage of selected occupational characteristics is available from the NCS for the local area. Full-time workers averaged $20.47 per hour while their part-time counterparts earned $10.22. Union workers earned $23.01 and non-union workers, $18.31. Workers in establishments with 1-99 workers averaged $16.22 per hour, those in establishments with 100-499 workers earned $19.74, and those in establishments with 500 or more employees earned $24.13.
The occupational wage data available from the NCS may be used by businesses for establishing pay plans, making decisions concerning plant relocation, and in collective bargaining negotiations. Individuals may use such data to help choose potential careers. NCS results also include the work level and respective earnings for occupations determined by a point factor leveling process. The four occupational leveling factors are: knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts, and physical environment. Details on the NCS are available at www.bls.gov/ncs/home.htm.
The NCS data provided here covered 298 establishments with one or more workers in private industry and State and local governments. Agricultural establishments, private households, the self-employed, and the Federal Government were excluded from the survey. This sample of establishments represented 399,700 workers in the Dayton-Springfield-Greenville Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which is comprised of Champaign, Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, and Preble Counties in Ohio.
