6 SECTION I SURVEY OVERVIEW

7 Louisiana Occupational Wage Survey INTRODUCTION The 2006 edition of the Louisiana Occupational and Wage Survey is a compilation of data collected from employers who voluntarily responded to our questionnaire during the period of May 2005, May and November 2004, May and November 2003, and November 2002 semiannual panels. Significant reductions in sampling errors are obtained by combining six panels of data, particularly for small geographic areas and occupations. The Occupational Statistics (OES) program uses the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Cost Index (ECI) to adjust survey data from prior panels before combining them with the current panel's data. For more information on the ECI, please visit their Web site at The Occupational Statistics survey is designed to provide statistical data related to workforce issues such as: Analysis of current and historical occupational employment Vocational counseling and planning Analysis of competitive wages Development of occupational projections Economic development Industry skills and technology studies Educational and career training curricula Jobseekers Market analysis This publication is organized for ease of comparison between state and national wages, as well as Regional Labor Market Areas (RLMAs). There are five sections in this year s publication: Section I is a general overview of the OES Survey; Section II defines the parishes within the RLMAs; Section III lists the top 20 highest paying occupations for all areas; Section IV is a list of occupational titles in alphabetical order; Section V displays data analysis tables for national, state, and RLMA estimates. To view national, state, RLMA, and Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) data online, please visit our Web site at or the OES Web site at With the issuance of data for May 2005, the OES program has incorporated redefined metropolitan areas as designated by the United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB). OES data are available for 375 metropolitan statistical areas and 34 metropolitan divisions. Due to budget constraints in the Occupational Statistics (OES) program, beginning with this release of the May 2005 estimates, OES will return to once a year publication and electronic delivery. i

8 Louisiana Occupational Wage Survey The Standard Occupational Classification System The U.S. Office of Management and Budget s new occupational classification system, the Standard Occupational Classification () system was developed in response to a growing need for a universal occupational classification system. Concerns about the quality of the U.S. workforce, skills training issues, changes in occupational structures due to new technology, competitive economic pressures, and shifts to high performance work organizations focused attention on the quality of occupational information and statistics. The system, consisting of over 820 detailed occupations, is designed to cover all occupations in which work is performed for pay or profit, reflecting the current occupational structure in the United States. The OES survey uses 22 of the 23 major occupational groups from the system to categorize workers who work for pay. Military occupations are excluded and are not covered in the OES survey. The major groups are as follows: Management Occupations Business & Financial Operations Occupations Computer & Mathematical Occupations Architecture & Engineering Occupations Life, Physical, & Social Science Occupations Community & Social Services Occupations Legal Occupations Education, Training, & Library Occupations Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports, & Media Occupations Healthcare Practitioners & Technical Occupations Healthcare Support Occupations Protective Service Occupations Food Preparation & Serving Related Occupations Building & Grounds Cleaning, & Maintenance Occupations Personal Care & Service Occupations Sales & Related Occupations Office & Administrative Support Occupations Farming, Fishing, & Forestry Occupations Construction & Extraction Occupations Installation, Maintenance, & Repair Occupations Production Occupations Transportation & Material Moving Occupations For further information on, visit the Web site at ii

9 The Industry Coding System Louisiana Occupational Wage Survey In 2002, the OES survey switched from using the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system to using the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). The OES survey includes establishments in NAICS sector 11 (logging and agricultural support activities only), 21-23, 31-33, 42, 44-45, 48-49, 51-56, 61-62, 71-72, 81 (except private households), and state and local government. The executive branch of the federal government and the U.S. Postal Service also are included. The OES survey covers all full and part-time wage and salary workers in nonfarm industries. For more information about NAICS, visit the Web site at OES Design and Methodology Beginning in November 2002, the OES program moved from an annual to a semiannual collection method using the reference months of May and November of each year. The OES program is a federal-state cooperative program between the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and individual State Security Agencies (SESA), which is the Louisiana Department of Labor (LDOL). The collection of data on wage and salary workers in nonfarm establishments produced estimates for 799 national and 716 Louisiana statewide occupations in over 400 industry classifications. The OES survey has been designed to produce estimates at a desired level of precision using the full three years, or six panels of data. The employment levels are benchmarked to the Nov May 2005 average employment; however, wages are calculated using the March 2005 Cost Index (ECI). The three-year sample allows the production of estimates at defined levels of geographic, industrial, and occupational detail. The BLS produces the survey materials, selects the establishments to be surveyed, and provides technical support; while the states collect the majority of the data, verify the quality, and publish the information. BLS and the and Training Administration (ETA) provide funding for the survey. Technical Notes Reliability: All published wage data have a relative standard error of 50 percent or less. The relative standard error reflects the magnitude of sampling error. Sampling errors occur because observations are made on a sample, not on the entire population. There are two types of errors that affect the accuracy of the occupational estimates - sampling and nonsampling errors. Sampling errors result from the differences that occur by chance because a sample rather than the whole population was surveyed. The relative error expresses the standard error of an estimate as a percentage of that estimate and creates an interval around the estimate. The total estimated employment multiplied by the relative error gives a figure which can be added to and subtracted from the estimate, to obtain an upper and lower limit or interval. A level of confidence is then associated with this interval. An interval that is based on one relative error has a 68 percent level of confidence, and one based on two relative errors has a level of 95 percent. For example, suppose an estimated employment of 500 and a relative error of ten percent is given for an occupation. This means that with a 68 percent confidence level, the true number of workers in that occupation would fall between 450 and 550. iii

10 Louisiana Occupational Wage Survey Nonsampling errors result from a wide range of problems that may occur apart from the chance effects of using a sample. This type of error can be attributed to many sources such as survey nonresponse, definitional problems, or processing errors. The possible effect of nonsampling error is difficult to measure. Confidentiality: Confidentiality guidelines are strictly observed and are intended to preserve the anonymity of firms that participate in the survey. Data for a particular occupation are suppressed (not shown in this report) when: fewer than three firms responded for an occupation in a particular industry any one firm represents more than 50 percent of the employment in an occupation two firms combined represent more than 75 percent of the employment in an occupation Workers: Included are: workers who can be classified as full-time or part-time employees workers on paid vacations or other types of leave workers on unpaid or short-term absences salaried officers executives staff members of incorporated firms employees temporarily assigned to other units employees for whom the reporting unit is their permanent duty station regardless of whether that unit prepares their paycheck Excluded are: the self-employed owners/partners of unincorporated firms unpaid family workers The employment estimate is calculated on those occupations reported on the survey forms, or what the respondents reported back. The lists of possible occupations are industry-specific and not all detailed occupations appear on all survey forms. Each detailed occupation is part of a larger group of occupations. When an occupation s industry-specific employment estimates are summed to produce crossindustry employment estimates, only those industry-specific estimates from industries where the occupation appeared on the survey form are included in the summation. There is a possibility that a particular occupation could exist in an industry where it was unexpected and, therefore, not surveyed. In that case, it would not be included in the calculation of that occupation s employment and wage estimate. However, it is included in the relevant all other category. iv

11 Louisiana Occupational Wage Survey Wages for the OES survey are straight-time gross pay, exclusive of premium pay. Included are: base rate, cost-of-living allowances, guaranteed pay, hazard pay, incentive pay including commissions, tips, production bonuses, piece rate, portal-to-portal rate, longevity pay, deadheading pay, and on-call pay. Excluded are: attendance bonuses, back pay, draw, holiday premium pay, jury duty pay, lodging and meal payments, merchandise discounts, overtime pay, severance pay, shift differentials, non-production bonuses, severance pay, stock bonuses, tool allowance, tuition reimbursements, holiday premium pay, uniform allowance, and vacation and weekend pay. Imputation: Some survey participants were unable or unwilling to provide wage information for the workers they reported by occupation. In order to include the data from these reporters, the missing wage data are imputed. For most occupations with imputed wages, the imputation is based on data from wage reporting employers that are similar in size and industry to the non-wage reporting employer. Data Analysis Using the BLS methodology, four measures of hourly wage estimates were calculated for this publication - the mean wage and three percentile measures. (average wage) is the estimated total wages for an occupation divided by its weighted survey employment. The mean wage value for the upper open-ended wage interval is its lower bound (Winsorized mean). These interval mean wage values are then attributed to all workers reported in the interval. For each occupation, total weighted wages in each interval are summed across all intervals and divided by the occupation s weighted survey employment. Measures: (low): A quarter of the workers in the occupation earn an equal or smaller wage. percentile (Median): 50 percent of workers in an occupation earn wages below, and 50 percent earn wages above, the median wage. percentile (high): Three-quarters of the workers earn less than or equal to the percentile. The highest releasable hourly and annual wage estimates are $94.03 and $195,500, respectively. wage estimates are calculated by multiplying the mean wage by a year-round, full-time hours figure of 2,080 hours per year. However, most employees are paid an hourly rate by their employers and may work more or less than 40 hours per week. Most education professionals do not work 12 months of the year, their wage data may not have been reported in a manner consistent with the assumption of a fixed work schedule. For this reason, only the annual salary is calculated for occupations that typically have a work-year of less than v

12 Louisiana Occupational Wage Survey 2,080 hours, including flight pilots and attendants, legislators, and teachers. Entertainment occupations such as actors, dancers, musicians and singers, entertainers/performers and all other sports related workers will be reported at the hourly rates only. There is wide variation in the number of hours worked by those employed as actors, dancers, musicians, and singers. Many jobs are for a duration of one day or one week and it is extremely rare for a performer to have guaranteed employment for a period that exceeds three to six months. However, hourly and annual estimates are provided for producers and directors, music directors and composers. Hourly wage estimates do not reflect the actual wages of employees, instead the numbers of workers are reported in each of the twelve wage ranges as listed below: INTERVAL HOURLY ANNUAL Range A Under $6.75 Under $14,040 Range B $6.75 to $8.49 $14,040 to $17,679 Range C $8.50 to $10.74 $17,680 to $22,359 Range D $10.75 to $13.49 $22,360 to $28,079 Range E $13.50 to $16.99 $28,080 to $35,359 Range F $17.00 to $21.49 $35,360 to $44,719 Range G $21.50 to $27.24 $44,720 to $56,679 Range H $27.25 to $34.49 $56,680 to $71,759 Range I $34.50 to $43.74 $71,760 to $90,999 Range J $43.75 to $55.49 $91,000 to $115,439 Range K $55.50 to $69.99 $115,440 to $145,599 Range L $70.00 and over $145,600 and over OES Substate Areas: Reported data are processed separately to produce estimates for statewide Louisiana and for substate areas designated as RLMAs. This causes the estimates to differ for some occupations. Area tables do not contain all of the occupations listed in the national or statewide tables because the occupation was either confidential or not reported for that particular area. vi
