National Compensation Survey Wages and Salaries: Winston County, MS., October 1997

摘要

This summary provides results of an October 1997 survey of occupational pay in Winston County, MS. Data shown in this summary were collected as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) new program known as the National Compensation Survey (NCS). The new program, now in its first stage of implementation, will eventually replace three separate BLS compensation series - Occupational Compensation Survey, Employment Cost Index, and Employee Benefits Survey. This first phase, which includes only the wage and salary portion of compensation, was designed to produce data similar to those released under the Occupational Compensation Survey, which has been discontinued. Hourly wage rates for various occupational classifications compose the majority of the information contained in this summary. The A-tables present data for all industries, private industry vs. State and local government, and fulltime vs. part-time workers. Also shown are weekly and annual earnings and hours for full-time white-collar workers. Table B-1 provides hourly rates for a wide range of work levels within occupational groups. Also contained in this summary is a technical note describing survey procedures and a table listing the number of establishments studied.
