7 Finding Occupational Wages The alphabetical index on page 9 shows Oregon occupations statewide and by region with wage data available. An in a column means there is statistically valid 006 wage data available for the occupation in that region. Occupations in this index are categorized using Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes. To find wages for a particular occupation, locate the occupational title that most closely matches the occupation in question. For occupational definitions, visit and click on Publications on the lower left of the home page. The SOC document listing is near the bottom right of the Publications page. What is a Percentile? Wages are presented as percentiles. The 10th percentile wage is the level at which 10 percent of the workers in that occupation earn less and 90 percent earn more. For example, if the 10th percentile wage for an occupation is $15 per hour, 10 percent of the people working in this occupation earn less than $15 per hour and 90 percent earn more. How are Wages Affected by Education and Work Experience? Oregon Wage Information reports do not consider education or work experience. The survey used to collect wage data from employers doesn t ask for levels paid based on these factors. It asks only what wage level is paid to each employee in each occupation. Wages vary by education and experience. Generally, the more education and work experience people have, the higher their pay. How to use Oregon Wage Information if you are an: Employer Employers looking to hire new employees or analyze wages paid to current employees must look at the entire range of wages published. If an employer wants to hire a worker, but isn t sure what wage to offer, the employer must consider the duties of the position and the education and work experience required for the job. If the job is an entry-level position, the employer may want to consider offering a wage in the 10th-percentile or 5th-percentile range. If, on the other hand, an employer wants to hire someone with many years of experience, the more appropriate wage may be near the 90th percentile. Employee or Job Seeker To determine an appropriate wage, evaluate your experience and education levels. Are they low or high? Do you have a lot of experience? If you are new to the occupation, and meet its minimal education and experience requirements, the wage that may be most appropriate for you is in the 10th-percentile range. This generally is considered a level earned by those just starting in an occupation. If you have worked in an occupation for a while and feel you are very experienced, you may consider the median, 75th percentile, or 90th percentile to be a level that would best suit you. 5

9 General Information The Oregon Employment Department s annual Oregon Wage Information publication is used by a wide audience that includes job seekers, employees, employers, career counselors, and other professionals who deal with labor market information. Wages are calculated statewide and for each of the state s 15 workforce regions. Oregon s 006 statewide wage data cover more than 600 occupations whose pay ranges from minimum wage to six-figure annual salaries. The number of occupations published varies by region. More populous regions tend to have more occupations published than regions with fewer residents because those with higher populations provide larger survey samples. The annual mean wage is calculated by multiplying the mean hourly wage by,080 the yearly equivalent of a 40-hour work week. One thing to consider when looking at annual mean wages is that many occupations do not provide full-time, year-round work. When identifying wages for a particular occupation, be sure the SOC title refers to the occupation for which you are seeking wage information. Some SOC occupational titles can be misleading, as SOC descriptions may not match all jobs with similar titles. To obtain SOC descriptions: visit click on Publications on the lower left of the home page select the Standard Occupational Classification Descriptions document listing near the bottom right of the Publications page. Benefits information is not included in this publication. One source of benefits data is the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) National Compensation Survey Web site (bls.gov/ncs/ ebs/home.htm). It has information on benefit provision and incidence (the percentage of workers with access to and participation in employer provided benefit plans) for two major benefit areas (health insurance and retirement). 7

24 Definitions SOC: Occupational Title: Percentile: Median: Mean: Annual Mean Wage: The federally defined Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system of organizing occupations. These titles are based on the SOC system. For more information on a particular occupational title, visit and select Publications on the lower left of the home page. The SOC document listing is near the bottom right of the page. A value on a scale of 100 that indicates the percent of a distribution equal to or below it. For example, 10 percent of all wages are equal to or less than the 10 th percentile wage. The midpoint of a distribution, at which half of all values are less and half are greater than the median. The median equals the 50 th percentile. The average value of a distribution. The sum of all values divided by the number of values. The mean hourly wage is the estimated total wages for an occupation divided by its weighted survey employment. Equal to the mean hourly wage multiplied by,080 the yearly equivalent of a 40-hour work week. 1

194 Oregon Wage Information 006 rrepresents the most comprehensive collection of such data available. It offers a broad spectrum of wage rates from many sectors of Oregon s economy and is designed to help job seekers, employers, career planners, and others who need Oregon wage rates for specific occupations. Methodology Wage data presented in the publication are collected through the Occupational Employment Survey (OES), which semiannually measures occupational employment and wage rates for payroll workers. In Oregon, the survey samples about 6,000 establishments each year, taking three years to fully collect the sample of nearly 18,000 establishments. Each year, one-third of the firms are surveyed, with all industries covered each year of the three-year cycle. The OES survey is sent to Oregon employers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics requires at least a 75-percent response rate. Oregon Wage Information 006 is based on the 00, 00, and 004 surveys. Data are adjusted to 006 using the Employment Cost Index. Occupations having a mean wage with a relative standard error greater than 10 percent Methodology and Limitations Number of Employers on Which Wage Data are Based Oregon 17,860 Region 1 50 Region 5,515 Region 1,967 Region 4 1,758 Region 5 1,84 Region Region Region 8 1,80 Region 9 70 Region 10 9 Region Region 1 9 Region 1 0 Region Region 15 1,45 are not considered statistically valid and therefore not published. More than 95 percent of all Oregonians working for wages or salary in the private and public sectors work in occupations represented here. The OES survey defines employment as workers covered by unemployment insurance. This excludes the self-employed, owners or partners of unincorporated firms, unpaid family workers, and some commission-based sales agents. Wages paid to these excluded groups are not reflected in this publication. Wages for the OES survey are straight-time gross pay excluding premium pay and nonwage fringe benefits. Some inclusions are the base pay rate, tips, commissions, and certain types of production bonuses. Some exclusions are overtime pay, housing allowances, and nonproduction bonuses. Oregon s OES survey collects wage data in 11 intervals. Employers report the number of employees in each wage interval by occupation. They may report wages based on hourly or annual rates. If they report an annual rate, they provide a wage rate equivalent to fulltime even if their employees don t work full time. Limitations This publication is only one of several sources for wage information. OED suggests readers consult other resources when researching wage information, such as public and private surveys. This publication focuses on occupational wage rates. These rates can vary greatly among industries, by firm size within an industry, and regions within the state. Though various percentiles, mean, and median are listed, these wages do not necessarily reflect specific experience or educational levels. Data in this publication represent wages as of the first quarter of 006. When determining wage rates for individual occupations, assess such current labor market conditions as worker shortages, which affect wage levels. 191

195 Other Wage Data Tools OED recommends the following tools to adjust wages for inflation and for variations in cost of living by city. Perhaps the best-known inflation index is the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI is a measure of prices paid by urban consumers for a fixed market basket of consumer goods and services. The index allows a calculation of the average change over time in consumer prices. CPI data are collected in 6 urban areas including the Portland-Salem, OR-WA area. The Web site for the CPI is The best measure of change in national wage levels over time is the Employment Cost Index (ECI). This series is updated quarterly and shows benefit and payroll changes. The Web site for the ECI is Users of wage data sometimes need a cost-ofliving differential for workers in various locations. The American Chamber of Commerce Researchers Association (ACCRA) Cost of Living Index (COLI) is the most widely available indicator of variations by city in the cost of living. This is not a public data source and membership or purchase is required. The ACCRA COLI is released quarterly for some 00 urban areas in North America. It provides indexes on housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, health care, and miscellaneous goods and services. This information is available through some chambers of commerce, or by visiting the ACCRA COLI Web site How to age wage data using the Employment Cost Index (ECI) Sometimes we want to find out how wages have changed since a particular time period. To do this we use the ECI. The ECI tracks various components of compensation. We use the private industry wage and salary index for all occupations. The ECI is a quarterly series, so we need to pick two reference quarters let s use first quarter 00 and third quarter 004. Using the ECI index numbers (available at ncs/ect/) we divide the more recent index (third quarter 004) by the earlier index (first quarter 00): divided by 159. equals After converting this to a percentage by subtracting 1 and multiplying by 100, we see that wages have increased by 4.08 percent over this time period. If wages were at $10.00 per hour in the first quarter of 00, then hourly wages are about 41 cents higher in the third quarter of
