Changes in Occupational Ranking and Hourly Earnings, 1997-2005
by John E. Buckley
http://www.bls.gov/opub/cwc/cm20070824ar01p1.htm
Abstract:
The National Compensation Survey (NCS) published estimates of average
hourly earnings for 418 occupations that could be compared in 1997 and
2005. Although the NCS is not designed to measure changes in earnings
within individual occupations, 227 occupations had increases in hourly
earnings of at least 25 percent over the period. Among the 191 occupations
that had increases of less than 25 percent, 21 reported declines in hourly
earnings. The occupations with declining earnings include high-ranked jobs
(in terms of hourly earnings), middle-ranked jobs, and low-ranked jobs.
