Using data from the National Compensation Survey (NCS), the BLS has made available pay relatives – a calculation of pay–wages, salaries, commissions, and production bonuses–for a given metropolitan area relative to the nation as a whole – for each of nine major occupational groups within 77 metropolitan areas. In addition, area-to-area comparisons have been calculated for all 77 metropolitan areas and will soon be available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/payrel.htm .
