                       NATIONAL COMPENSATION SURVEY, FEBRUARY 2007


     The Oklahoma City National Compensation Survey (NCS) bulletin is now available.  The 
survey includes wage data for up to 22 major occupational groups with additional detail 
for occupations within each group.  Wages are available by worker characteristics 
including full-time or part-time status, union or nonunion status, and time or incentive 
pay.  Average rates of pay are available for levels of work within an occupation based 
on knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts, and physical environment.

     The locality wage publications have undergone a number of significant changes.  The 
February 2007 Oklahoma City survey incorporates the following changes:

     1.  Use of the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system and the 2002 North 
         American Industry Classification System (NAICS)

     2.  An expanded scope of establishments, lowering the minimum establishment size for 
         private industry from 50 workers to 1 worker

     3.  Imputation for temporary non-response situations

     4.  Benchmarking of estimated employment

     5.  Redesigned tables, to reflect the new classification system and to emphasize 
         work levels
