Internet address: http://stats.bls.gov/newsrels.htm Technical information: (202) 691-6567 USDL 00-339 For release: 10:00 A.M. EST Media contact: 691-5902 Friday, November 17, 2000 AVERAGE ANNUAL PAY BY STATE AND INDUSTRY, 1999 The average annual pay of all workers covered by state and federal unemployment insurance (UI) programs rose 4.3 percent to $33,313 in 1999, according to preliminary data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. This compares with a 5.2 percent rise in 1998. The annual pay of private industry workers, comprising 84.7 percent of the nation's employment, grew 4.6 percent in 1999, while pay for government workers rose 2.7 percent. In 1998, the increase in pay for private sector workers was 5.6 percent and for government workers, 3.2 percent. Pay growth for U.S. workers in 1999, at 4.3 percent, slowed from the growth in 1998 and 1997, but was the fifth highest in the 1989-99 period. (See chart 1.) Average annual pay for workers grew 47.6 percent from 1989 to 1999, a gain of $10,750. The attached tables contain pay data for the nation, the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. (New Jersey data were not available for the fourth quarter of 1999 and therefore are not shown for 1999. Totals for the United States were calculated using estimated 1999 data for New Jersey. 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 127.0 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.) Pay differences among states reflect the varying composition of employment by occupation, industry, and hours of work, as well as other factors. Pay differences among industries are similarly affected. For example, average annual pay levels in retail trade industries are reduced by the relatively large share of part-time workers. Correspondingly, pay levels in construction industries are reduced by the prevalence of part-year employment due to weather and seasonal factors. Over-the-year pay changes may reflect shifts in the composition of employment, as well as changes in the level of average pay. - 2 - States Among the states, Connecticut had the highest pay level ($42,653) in 1999, followed by New York ($42,133), Massachusetts ($40,331), California ($37,564), and Illinois ($36,279). (See table 2.) The 1999 pay levels of these five highest-ranking states, accounting for 26 percent of the nation's employment, ranged from 9 to 28 percent higher than the U.S. average. Occupying the remaining top 10 pay positions for states were, in order of 1999 pay levels, Washington, Michigan, Delaware, Maryland, and Colorado. Alaska and Minnesota also had above-average pay levels. Among the jurisdictions covered in this release, the District of Columbia had the highest annual average pay level ($50,742). Among the states with below-average annual pay, Montana posted the lowest pay ($23,253) in 1999. The next lowest pay levels were in North Dakota ($23,753), South Dakota ($23,765), Mississippi ($24,392), and Arkansas ($25,371). These five states continued to have the lowest wages in the nation, as they have since 1988. The 1999 average annual pay figures for these states, which account for only 3 percent of the nation's workers, were 24 to 30 percent below the national average. Average annual pay levels for 37 states were below the U.S. average in 1999; combined, workers in these states accounted for 59 percent of the covered employment of the nation. Overall, pay gains moderated in 1999 compared with the previous year. (See chart 2.) Annual pay grew by at least 4 percent in 18 states this year, whereas 40 states reached this growth rate in 1998. On the high end of the growth scale, only four states posted pay increases of 6 percent or higher in 1999, compared with seven states in 1998. Leading the nation in pay growth for the third year in a row, Washington's average annual pay advanced 8.0 percent in 1999, exceeding the national growth rate by 3.7 percentage points. The next highest pay increase occurred in Massachusetts, where wages climbed 6.8 percent, followed by California (6.3 percent), Colorado (6.0 percent), and Virginia (5.2 percent). As in 1998, Washington's strong performance was due to a substantial increase in the services industry (16.1 percent). Washington also benefited from above- average gains in retail trade; transportation, communications, and public utilities; construction; and manufacturing. In Massachusetts, the large wage gain was due to sharp increases in four industries: finance, insurance, and real estate (11.7 percent); wholesale trade (10.4 percent); mining (9.6 percent); and manufacturing (8.7 percent). In 1999, no state reported a decline in average annual pay. (See table 3.) Alaska registered the smallest increase in pay (0.6 percent) in 1999. Alaska has reported the smallest wage increase every year since 1995. Following Alaska were Louisiana (1.2 percent), New Mexico (2.2 percent), and Mississippi (2.4 percent). Hawaii and Oklahoma each grew by 2.5 percent. Except for Hawaii, the 1999 growth rates for each of these states were lower than their 1998 pay growth. - 3 - Industry Average annual pay levels for the nation varied widely by industry. (See table 4.) The highest average annual pay occurred in the mining industry--$54,653. (See chart 3.) Mining pay was 65 percent greater than the national average for private sector workers in 1999. Mining, which accounts for less than 1 percent of private sector employment, has held this top position since 1980 when BLS began publishing average annual pay levels for industries. The next highest pay level was registered in finance, insurance, and real estate ($50,865), which was 53 percent higher than average pay for all private industry workers. As it has every year since 1980, retail trade recorded the lowest pay ($17,592), partly reflecting its relatively large share of part-time workers. In 1999, the pay level of retail workers was 47 percent below the national average for all private industry workers. Average pay in the services industry, the largest single component of the private sector, rose to $31,491 in 1999. The largest over-the-year percentage pay increase in the private sector was registered in the transportation, communications, and public utilities industry (6.1 percent). Wholesale trade had the next largest increase (5.5 percent), followed by mining (5.0 percent) and services (4.8 percent). Combined, these four industries account for 47 percent of private industry employment. The smallest pay gain among the eight major private industry divisions occurred in the construction industry (4.2 percent). The average annual pay level for the public sector, which includes federal, state, and local government establishments, was $33,830 in 1999, compared with $33,220 in the private sector. Pay differentials between the public and private sectors reflect many variables, including work activity and occupational structure. Average annual pay gains in the private sector have outpaced those of government workers for the past 5 years. (See chart 4.) Average annual pay in the public sector was 2 percent higher than private sector pay in 1999; this gap narrowed from 4 percent in 1998, 6 percent in 1997, and a high of 10 percent in 1994. Over the previous 5 years, pay grew 16 percent in the public sector, 9 percentage points below the 25 percent growth rate in the private sector. Over the past 10 years, average annual pay for government employees rose 40 percent, while pay for private industry workers increased 49 percent. ---------------------------------------------------------- | 1999 average annual pay and other data from the Covered| |Employment and Wages program will be available on the BLS | |web site at http://stats.bls.gov/cewnote.htm in early | |December. | ---------------------------------------------------------- - 4 - 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 1999 are preliminary and subject to revision. 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 7.8 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 1999, UI and UCFE programs covered workers in 127.0 million jobs. The estimated 122 million workers in these jobs (after adjustment for multiple jobholders) represented 99.0 percent of wage and salary civilian employment. Multiple jobholder estimates are produced by the Current Population Survey (CPS). Covered workers received $4.232 trillion in pay, representing 94.7 percent of the wage and salary component of personal income and 45.5 percent of the gross domestic product. Major exclusions from UI coverage during 1999 are 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 1998 data as the base. These final 1998 data may differ from the preliminary 1998 data previously published. - 5 - 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. 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 enable the SESA to assign a specific Standard Industrial Classification. The establishments of these employers therefore could not be classified by industry division. The wages for these nonclassifiable 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 202-691-6567 (e-mail: 202_info@bls.gov). BLS now issues three other reports which provide data from state UI and UCFE programs. 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 Averages, 1999 will be available for sale in early 2001 from the BLS Publications Sales Center, P.O. Box 2145, Chicago, Illinois 60690.
