1 Alberta Ministry of Labour 2015 Alberta Wage and Salary Survey The Alberta Wage and Salary Survey is undertaken by the Alberta Ministry of Labour to provide current wage rates and skill shortage information on various occupations in Alberta, and in specific industries and Economic Regions. This labour market information helps Alberta employers to fine tune their compensation and recruitment strategies, helps individuals make career and education choices, and aids the provincial government in developing effective policies and providing services. Public Administration Industry Summary Report SURVEY RESULTS The survey was completed with 226 employers in the Public Administration industry sector who provided information on over 63,119 employees in various occupational classifications 1. Survey data were collected between January and July Alberta Wage and Salary Survey results by Four-Digit National Occupational Classification (NOC) for all of Alberta, by industry group, and by geographic area can be found at WAGES FOR SELECTED OCCUPATIONS The following table illustrates the wage survey results associated with some common occupations within this industry 2. The tables below present results for three-digit NOC minor groups and for four-digit NOCs. Average PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION # of Common Business, Managerial, Administrative, and Clerical Occupations Data Reliability Code Hours Worked per Week Starting Top Overall Average for All 001 Legislators and senior management A 36.0 $67.54 $86.53 $ Senior government managers and officials A 36.3 $68.51 $88.01 $ Administrative services managers 103 1,055 A 36.6 $42.82 $61.41 $ Financial managers A 36.1 $43.86 $62.79 $ Human resources managers B 36.7 $45.79 $62.96 $ Other administrative services managers A 36.8 $41.12 $60.04 $ Managers in financial and business services B 36.3 $44.27 $63.13 $ The estimated sample error at the establishment level for overall results for this industry can be estimated to be ±4.6% at a 95% confidence level (i.e., 19 times out of 20) taking into account the sample design effect associated with over/under sampling and data weighting, based on the number of employers responding. It may be noted however, that two of the employers responding were the Government of Alberta and the Government of Canada, which together represent a large portion of all employment in the Public Administration sector. 2 Occupations were selected as the top occupations in terms of number or employees as per Statistics Canada 2011 National Household Survey data for this industry and supplemented by other occupations frequently reported by industry employers. Only occupations with a minimum number of reportable observations were selected. Some occupations common to this industry may not be listed if sufficient reliable data were not available.

For example, 67 employers combined reported wages for 345 Water and Waste Treatment Plant Operators - (NOC 9243). Averages are calculated using data weighted by establishment to account for survey non-response (stratified by region, industry group and employer size) and by number of employees reported. n/a indicates that results have been suppressed due to missing data for some employers or due to calculation anomalies. Data Reliability Codes are based on coefficient of variation as an indicator of general reliability: A : coefficient of variation of less than or equal to ±6.00%, B : from ±6.01% to ±15.00%, C : from ± 15.01% to ±33.00%, D : more than ±33.01%.

For this reason, caution should be undertaken when interpreting the figures presented below: The survey results on these questions may be more indicative of smaller to medium sized employers in the Public Administration sector than of the sector as a whole.

Statistics on hiring activity, hiring difficulties, and employers reporting vacancies were calculated based on the number of employers responding for each question, weighted by establishment for survey non-response (stratified by region, industry group and employer size). Job Vacancy Rate for vacancies that had been unfilled for 4 months or more calculated as: Sum of Unfilled Vacancies / (Sum of Current + Sum of Unfilled Vacancies), with data weighted by establishment for survey non-response (stratified by industry group and employer size).

13 Industry Definition as per North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Public Administration (NAICS 91) This sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in activities of a governmental nature, that is, the enactment and judicial interpretation of laws and their pursuant regulations, and the administration of programs based on them. Legislative activities, taxation, national defence, public order and safety, immigration services, foreign affairs and international assistance, and the administration of government programs are activities that are purely governmental in nature. Ownership is not a criterion for classification. Government owned establishments engaged in activities that are not governmental in nature are classified to the same industry as privately owned establishments engaged in similar activities. Government establishments may engage in a combination of governmental and non-governmental activities. When separate records are not available to separate the activities that are not governmental in nature from those that are, the establishment is classified to this sector.
