Using Pay Relative Data

A pay relative is a calculation of pay--wages, salaries, commissions, and production bonuses--for a given metropolitan area relative to the nation as a whole. The calculation controls for differences among areas in occupational composition, establishment and occupational characteristics, and the fact that data are collected for areas at different times during the year.

To assist data users with the use of these data, tests have been conducted to determine whether differences between pay relatives in two metropolitan areas are statistically significant (that is, the pay for the given occupation in both areas are too different to be accounted for by the randomness of the survey's sample). The test constructs a 90-percent confidence interval that assumes the given area's true pay relative is equal to the pay relative of the second metropolitan area. If the pay relative falls outside of the constructed confidence interval then the pay relative is statistically significant at the 10-percent level. In all tables, statistically significant pay relatives are denoted with an asterisk (*). More information on significance testing is available in the Technical Note of the news release Occupational Pay Relatives, 2006.

Data users are cautioned not to use over-the-year changes in area and occupational pay relatives to infer changes in underlying economic conditions.
