FOREWORD

In 2003 the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United States Department

of Labour (US-DOL) announced a project to improve Labour Market Information in the English

speaking Caribbean Countries. The Occupational Wage Survey was a component of the project.

This survey, gave the Department of Statistics the opportunity to participate on a regional level

and at the same time take advantage of available expertise to review and improve existing and

past methodologies.1

This report presents occupational and average (mean) wage data collected in the

Occupational Wage Survey 2003-2004. The reference period for the survey was the last pay

period in November 2003.

For the majority of industrial groups, the tables are produced for New Providence and

Grand Bahama. For the remaining industries the tables are produced for all Bahamas.

This report also provides information on the sample design along with concepts, definitions and

methodology.

1 An occupational Wage Survey was conducted on two previous occasions in The Bahamas, in 1987 and in 1994 each time generating very poor responses. It was concluded that the main factor for the poor response was the lengthy questionnaire.


ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Department of Statistics wishes to acknowledge the valuable cooperation and

assistance of the participating establishments in the Occupational Wage Survey, and also looks

forward to and appreciates their continued support.

Recognized and appreciated are technical advice and financial assistance received from

the (ILO) International Labour Organization and (US-DOL) United States Department of

Labour.

The valuable contributions of the staff in the development, preparation, publicity, data

collection of the survey and printing of the report are acknowledged.

Carmen Dawkins produced the report under the supervision of Kelsie Dorsett, Deputy Director

and Leona Wilson, Assistant Director

1. OUTLINE OF THE OCUPATIONAL WAGE SURVEY


1.1. General Objectives The objective of the Occupational Wage Survey (OWS) is to generate and disseminate statistics on remuneration by occupational category and type of economic activity and to provide more detailed information on the levels and structure of wages in The Bahamas. . The final results of the OWS are expected to feed into:

Collective bargaining and tripartite consultations The production of The Bahamas Occupational Handbook Production of a real wage index

An Occupational Wage Survey was conducted on two previous occasions in The Bahamas, in 1987 and in1994 each time generating very poor responses. It was concluded that the main factor for the poor responses was the lengthy questionnaire. This survey addressed these short comings and resulted in an overall response rate of 81%. 1.2 Data Collected

Occupational employment Sex of employees (male/female) Nationality (Bahamian/Non-Bahamian) Wages and normal hours work Earnings and hours actually worked Vacancies by occupation Full and part-time employees

1.3 Survey Schedule The Department of Statistics plans to conduct the OWS biennially. 1.4 Geographical Coverage Coverage for the OWS was restricted to New Providence and Grand Bahama. These two islands contain approximately 85% of both the total population and of business establishments.


1.5 Industries Surveyed The industries surveyed were:

Mining and Quarrying Electricity, Gas and Water Manufacturing Construction Wholesale and Retail Trade Transport, Storage and Communication Financial Intermediation Real Estate, Renting and Business Activities Education Restaurants Health and Social Work Other Community, Social and Personal Service Activities

The Agricultural Sector, Hotels and Government were not surveyed. However, comparable data for the Hotel Industry is published annually in the ‘Occupations & Wages in the Hotel Industry Report’. For the convenience of readers summary tables for the Hotel Industry are provided in appendix IV. Data on Occupations and Wages in the Agricultural Sector are not available at this time.


2. SAMPLE DESIGN 2.1 Scope of The Survey The scope of the survey included all business establishments on New Providence and Grand Bahama with five (5) or more employees. 2.2 Reporting Unit and Frequency The reporting (statistical) unit was the business establishment. 2.3 Benchmark A reference of total employment in the target business establishments in the year 2000 was derived by adjusting the 2000 Population Census figure of the total number of employees to allow for employees who did not work in the targeted business establishments, i.e. domestic employees in private households. This reference figure of 121,471, which included the Public Sector, Hotel and Agriculture, was used to evaluate the coverage of the sampling frame. 2.4 Sampling Frame The 2002 version of the Department’s Business Establishment Register was used as the sampling frame for the survey. Establishments in the Agriculture, Hotel and Public Sectors were excluded from the survey. This register contained 1,995 targeted business establishments in New Providence and Grand Bahama that met the criterion (five or more employees). Although for some business establishments the number of employees was missing, this problem was confined largely to the smaller out of scope business establishments. The total employment of the 1,995 establishments in the target population contained in the register was 49,050 employees. The frame contained the address, telephone numbers and other contact information pertaining to every unit. Auxiliary information e.g. industry group and establishment size was also included. These were useful for sample selection and estimation purposes.


2.5 Stratification And Allocation Since estimates by industrial group were required, industry codes of the individual establishments were used as the stratification variable at the 1-digit level of the International Standard Classification (ISIC). Other variables such as island and employment size were also used. However, it was desirable to have estimates at more level of detail. While avoiding as far as possible the very small or zero samples. A stratified two-stage sample design was used. The first stage involved selecting a sample of establishments (reporting units) from the Business Establishment Register. Reporting units with 50 or more employees was sampled with certainty. The allocation of the reporting units was done using proportional allocation Proportionate allocation=

nhn =n.Nh/N=nWh

Where nn = the sample size within a particular hth stratum Nh = the population within the hth stratum Wh = the weight The reference period for the survey was the pay period ending November 30th 2003. Allocation Information for Establishments At the second stage a representative sample of the employees was drawn from the payroll records of each selected reporting unit using a systematic sampling method. This procedure ensured that each employee had an equal probability of selection. A random start for the first selected employee and a skip for the other selections were provided to each selected business. Employers with fewer than 10 employees were required to complete the information for all employees. The occupations recorded were those actually performed by the selected employees. The reported data were then used to produce estimates of earnings, hours and methods of pay. The selection procedure was designed to produce a representative sample of employees in The Bahamas. It was not designed to produce a representative sample of employees within each responding unit.


2.6 Sample Selection The following distribution of establishments by size was taken from the Establishment modified register database.

ESTABLISHMENTS Size

Establishments

Standard Deviation of Employees

5-25 1,557 5.2 15,684 26-29 235 6.3 7,172 50 and more 203 135.0 26,194 Total 1,995 49,050 Based on the information in the above table the following sample selection was recommended:

(a) For each industry group, all the establishments with 50 or more employees were selected (b) All establishments in the Mining & Quarrying, and the Electricity, Gas and Water strata

were selected (c) From each of the remaining nineteen industrial groups a random sample from each of the

remaining two size groups within the industry were selected (d) Where the application of (c) resulted in a sample of less than two establishments being

selected. All the units from that size group were selected The establishment sample selection method yielded the required sample size of 750. This produced estimates with an acceptable level of sampling error. 2.7 Field Procedures The information was collected by personal visits of interviewers to the sampled establishments. The interviewers either completed the questionnaire on the basis of the establishments’ records, or assisted the establishment in completing it. This was done in an effort to achieve the targeted 90% response rate. The interviewers were completely versed in the requirements of the survey and were trained to provide explanations and collect information. The first contact by personal interview not only improved the response rate but also provided quality assurance that the interviewed unit was the one designated in the sample. As well as it provided an opportunity to discuss the details of the designated occupations that was measured. The employers described the occupations according to the titles and job descriptions used within their unit. Coding of occupations was done by The Department of Statistics.


For every selected employee, employers were required to complete separate details including: • The employee characteristics; sex; full-time or part-time employment status (Occupation; apprentice; trainee etc.) • The employee’s occupational title • A description of the main tasks or duties • Components of gross wages and earnings, and hours paid for, • Nationality

2.8 Estimation The following types of estimates were derived:

• Employment: total and average number of employees per establishment by industry • Normal and actual hours worked • Average earnings per week and per hour • Average wage and salary by occupation within the industry.

The sample weight for each stratum was the reciprocal of the sampling fraction. Applying the respective weights to the sample results for each stratum produced population estimates for total employment, total earnings and total hours. Adjustment of the estimate of total employment was compared with data from the annual Labour Force Survey. To create an average wage rate full-time and part-time wage rates were combined using the following calculation:- Wavg =(Nfull*Wfull)(+Npart*Wpart)/(Nfull+Npart) where Wfull is the full-time wage rate, Wpart is the part-time wage rate, Nfull is the number of full-time employees working in a specific occupation and Npart is the number of part-time employees working in a specific occupation. If Nfull or Npart is missing then Nfull and Npart is set equal to one. If Wfull or Wpart is reported as “Not applicable” then the corresponding Nfull or Npart is set equal to zero.

Adjustment for Non- Response and Estimation of a Population Total Most results in finite population sampling theory are derived under the assumption that all the required data from a carefully selected sample are available to be used in the estimation process. The concern is that the sample estimate of the variable of interest from the incomplete sample may be in error (biased) because of the missing units. In such situations, estimators other than those derived for use with complete samples must be considered. There will be two types of non-response to consider: (1) unit non-response that is created by sample units that do not respond at all and (2) item non-response, that is created by units that provide responses to some, but not all items. The method that was used to address item non-response will be hot deck imputation, where missing values of the variable of interest were replaced by values selected from respondents in the current survey. Unit non-response was dealt with by post stratification from the incomplete to the complete sample. By so doing, the underlying assumption was that the responding units were similar to the non-responding units.

(CV) =se )(y / y


All the estimates produced from the survey are based on sample results and, they are subject to sampling errors. This error is expressed as the coefficient of variation (CV). The CV is a percentage that expresses the size of the standard error as a proportion of the estimates to which it is related. For example, a CV of 10% will mean that the standard error is 10% of the estimate. If a wage rate estimate was $9.50 per hour, with a CV of 10%, then the standard error of $0.95 meaning that the actual wage rate was somewhere between $8.55 and $10.45. The CV was converted to a code that was interpreted using the following table: Value of CV Code Rating 0-5% A Very good 6%-15% B Good 16%-33% C Good to poor—use with caution 34% and over D Very poor—may not be acceptable

3. COLLECTION MODE


3.1 Data Collection

Personal visits by interviewers were the primary way the data was collected. The questionnaires were delivered to the establishment by the interviewers, if establishments required help in completing the questionnaire the interviewers were trained to offer assistance. In instances where the establishment preferred an appointment to complete the questionnaire, it was accommodated. During the survey period, letters reminding the establishments of the importance of returning the completed questionnaires within the given time frame were sent at intervals. When questionnaires were not returned within the given time period, the establishments were contacted up to three times by the interviewers via telephone or personal visit. Mailing questionnaires and telephone interviews were only used as a follow-up method.

When the establishment elected to send payroll data, interviewers dialogued with the officer designated by the establishment to obtain details regarding the occupations and any other additional information. 3.2 Survey Questionnaire

The survey questionnaire was designed to collect data that could be easily obtained from

the establishment’s human resource officer. In previous surveys, the questionnaire contained a description of each occupation. The

onus was on the employer to read the occupations in order to complete the questionnaire. This proved to be too time consuming for employers, which led to a very low response rate.

In order to improve response rate the instrument for this survey was considerably shorter

than in the past. It was designed to allow employers to write in the occupations selected and then to insert information relevant to these occupations in a format outlined on the form (See attached draft questionnaire). The establishments were asked to list occupations along with a brief description of the main tasks and duties.

The sampled establishment address was put on the questionnaire in bold. The address

indicated the establishment’s name, location, street & postal address, telephone and facsimile number and e-mail where available. The questionnaire also indicated the establishment’s identification code (which was the same code used to identify the establishment on the business register); the island code, and sector, (private or public).

The questionnaire was addressed to a contact person where available, otherwise to the

human resource officer.

The general information and statement included the reference period, and the number of employees in the establishment. Statements on the questionnaire conveyed the purpose of the OWS, and types of statistics to be derived from the study. The Statistics Act stating the Department’s authority to conduct the survey was written on the front section of the questionnaire. In addition, clearly and boldly printed was a statement assuring the establishments of the confidentiality of the data provided. The return date for the completed questionnaire and the names of contact persons within the Department as well as the Department’s address were also indicated on the form.


A letter accompanied each questionnaire, which emphasized the importance of the

establishment’s participation, the objectives, uses and significance of the data. The reference period for the survey was the pay period ending November 30th 2003.

During the survey period employers were directed to report for the most recent pay period, if that period was typical of their normal employment level and their usual level of activity. If the designated pay period was not the norm, then the employers were requested to report for the period that corresponded to it. Employers were expected to report data for a normal period whether the pay period was hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.

3.3 Training

Over a one-week period eight members of staff underwent a training session, which focused on:

(1) The completion and administration of the questionnaire (2) The editing and coding of the questionnaire

Training manuals designed to cover all aspects of the survey were prepared and included:

Goals and objectives of the survey How to approach the establishment How to complete the questionnaires and how to conduct the

interview Concepts and definitions Follow-up procedures Field protocol Editing and checking guidelines Occupational classifications (ISCO) Industrial classifications (ISIC)


3.4 Pilot Survey

A pilot survey was conducted in September 2003.

The results showed a 90 percent response rate. . It also indicated the time taken by the employer to complete the questionnaire based on the business establishment employee size. For instance if the business establishment he ten (10) or less employees it took approximately twenty (20) minutes. If the establishment had twenty (20) it took approximately 1 ½ hours and in instances where the establishment had to report fifty (50) or more employees, the interviewer was informed by the employer to make an appointment or return at a later date to collect the completed questionnaire. Minor cosmetic changes were made to the questionnaire which included:

informing the employer that the questionnaire should be completed within a certain time frame

a comprehensive identification number for the establishment was created

total employees and total employees selected were separated.

APPENDIX I

SURVEY NOTES

Data Collection for the Occupational Wage Survey, 2003-2004 According to the sample design it was intended that separate tables be published for New Providence and Grand Bahama. However due to a reporting anomaly within some industries, tables will be produced either for All Bahamas or for New Providence and Grand Bahama combined. Generally, businesses with branches throughout The Bahamas reported combined data for all branches. Similarly, public corporations reported combined results for employees located throughout The Bahamas. Businesses in the Financial Intermediation industry reported combined data for New Providence and Grand Bahama but also reported data for each other island on which branches were located. The following list indicates the geographic detail that will be made available for each industry: Electricity, Gas, Water & Communication – All Bahamas Financial Intermediation – All Bahamas

*Mining, Quarrying & Manufacturing- New Providence and Grand Bahama Construction – New Providence and Grand Bahama Wholesale and Retail Trade – New Providence and Grand Bahama Restaurants – New Providence and Grand Bahama Transport and Storage – New Providence and Grand Bahama Real Estate, Renting and Business Activities – New Providence and Grand Bahama Health and Social Work – New Providence and Grand Bahama Other Community, Social and Personal Service Activities – New Providence and Grand Bahama

*Mining and Quarrying Industry The sample was designed to allow estimates to be produced for the Mining and Quarrying Industry separately. However due to weak response rates for this industry and to ensure that individual businesses cannot be identified, the data collected for this industry have been combined with those of the manufacturing industry.

CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS


APPENDIX II

CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS

Occupation – refers to a set of jobs whose main tasks and duties are characterized by a high degree of similarity (e.g. filing clerk, accountant) Time-rate employee – refers to a full-time or part-time employee paid on the basis of a time unit of work such as an hour, day, a week a fortnight, or a month Employee – refers to a person who works for a public or private employer and receives remuneration in wages, salary, commission, tips, or piece rate. This definition covers both wage earners and salaried employees. Thus working proprietors, unpaid family workers and managerial staff remunerated predominantly by a share of the profits are excluded from the definition of employee. Basic pay/wage rate – includes basic wages, cost of living allowances and other guaranteed and regularly paid allowances, but excludes overtime payments, bonuses and gratuities, family allowances and other National Insurance payments made by employers. Ex gratia (as a favour, not compelled by legal right, e.g. Workers in Hotels and Restaurants may receive meals and accommodation free of charge as part of their wags) payments supplementary to normal wage rate are also excluded. Commission – (a fee or percentage allowed to a salesperson or agent for his/her services) is included as a part of basic pay/wage. Number of normal hours worked per week - refers to hours of work fixed by or in pursuance of laws or regulations, collective agreements or arbitral awards. Where not so fixed, “normal” hours of work should be taken as meaning the number of hours per day, or week in excess of which any time worked is remunerated (to pay an employee for services rendered) at overtime rates or forms an exception to the rules or customs of the establishment relating to the classes of workers concerned. Hours actually worked per week – includes (a) hours actually worked during normal periods of work; (b) time worked in addition to hours worked during normal periods of work and generally paid at higher rates than normal rates (overtime); (c) time spent at the place of work on work such as the preparation of the workplace, repairs and maintenance, preparation and cleaning of tools, and the preparation of receipts, time sheets and reports; (d) time spent at the place of work waiting or standing by for such reasons as lack of supply of work, breakdown of machinery or accidents, or time spent at the place of work during which no work is done but for which payment is made under a guaranteed employment contract; (e) time corresponding to short rest periods at the workplace, including tea and coffee breaks. Hours actually work should exclude: (a) hours paid for but not worked, such as paid annual leave, paid public holidays, paid sick leave; (b) meal breaks and (c) time spent on travel from home to workplace and vice versa. Earnings - relate to remuneration in cash paid to employees, as a rule at regular intervals, for time or work done together with remuneration for time not worked, such as annual vacation, other paid leave or holidays. Earnings exclude employers’ contribution in respect of their employees paid to national insurance and pension schemes and also the benefits received by employees under these schemes. Earnings also exclude severance and termination pay. Nationality – refers to the legal nationality or citizenship of the individual. It is not necessarily related to place of birth.
