The Absence from Work Survey was designed primarily to fulfill the objectives of Human Resources Development Canada. They sponsor the qualified wage loss replacement plan which applies to employers who have their own private plans to cover employee wages lost due to sickness, accident, etc. Employers who fall under the plan are granted a reduction in their quotas payable to the Unemployment Insurance Commission. The data generated from the responses to the supplement will provide input to determine the rates for quota reductions for qualified employers. Although the Absence from Work Survey collects information on absences from work due to illness, accident or pregnancy, it does not provide a complete picture of people who have been absent from work for these reasons because the concepts and definitions have been developed specifically for the needs of the client. Absences in this survey are defined as being at least two weeks in length, and respondents are only asked the three reasons for their most recent absence and the one preceding it. The Absence From Work Survey, 1985, was conducted in 1984, that is, the Reference Year is 1984.

In 2023, the average annual wage in South Korea fell to 47,715 U.S. dollars after adjusting for purchasing power parity (PPP).

About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents median income data over a decade or more for males and females categorized by Total, Full-Time Year-Round (FT), and Part-Time (PT) employment in Fall Lake township. It showcases annual income, providing insights into gender-specific income distributions and the disparities between full-time and part-time work. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into gender-based pay disparity trends and explore the variations in income for male and female individuals.

Key observations: Insights from 2023

Based on our analysis ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates, we present the following observations: - All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Fall Lake township, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $55,909 for males and $34,750 for females.

These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in Fall Lake township. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 62 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 38%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the township of Fall Lake township.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Fall Lake township, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $85,417, while females earned $60,000, leading to a 30% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 70 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time roles. This analysis indicates a widening gender pay gap, showing a substantial income disparity where women, despite working full-time, face a more significant wage discrepancy compared to men in the same roles.

Surprisingly, the gender pay gap percentage was higher across all roles, including non-full-time employment, for women compared to men. This suggests that full-time employment offers a more equitable income scenario for women compared to other employment patterns in Fall Lake township.

The National Compensation Survey (NCS) program produces information on wages by occupation for many metropolitan areas.The Modeled Wage Estimates (MWE) provide annual estimates of average hourly wages for occupations by selected job characteristics and within geographical location. The job characteristics include bargaining status (union and nonunion), part- and full-time work status, incentive- and time-based pay, and work levels by occupation. The modeled wage estimates are produced using a statistical procedure that combines survey data collected by the National Compensation Survey (NCS) and the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) programs. Borrowing from the strengths of the NCS, information on job characteristics and work levels, and from the OES, the occupational and geographic detail, the modeled wage estimates provide more detail on occupational average hourly wages than either program is able to provide separately. Wage rates for different work levels within occupation groups also are published. Data are available for private industry, State and local governments, full-time workers, part-time workers, and other workforce characteristics.

The Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account (ACPSA) is produced through the partnership between the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Built with the BEA's input-output (I-O) accounts, the ACPSA provides detailed statistics that illustrate the impact of arts and cultural production on the United States economy. Specifically, this account provides an assessment of the arts and cultural sector's contributions to gross domestic product (GDP). For years 1998 to 2021, the ACPSA presents annual statistics about the following items: (1) Output of detailed arts and cultural commodities and the industries producing these commodities; (2) employment and compensation within these industries; (3) arts and cultural value added by industry; and (4) commodity-flow details for arts and cultural production products. In the data tables provided, the statistics fall under two broad categories: (1) core arts and cultural production and (2) supporting arts and cultural production. The core category contains the commodities in which the output primarily contributes to arts and culture. Performing arts, museums, design services, and arts education are included in the core category. The supporting category consists of commodities that support the core category through publication, dissemination of the creative process, or other supportive functions. This category contains event promotion, printing, and broadcasting. The seven national-level data tables provided for each year from 1998 to 2021 include: Table 1. Production of Commodities by Industry Table 2. Output and Value Added by Industry Table 3. Supply and Consumption of Commodities Table 4. Employment and Compensation of Employees by Industry Table 5. Total ACPSA-related Employment by Industry Table 6. Output by ACPSA Commodity Table 7. Real Output by Commodity For years 2001-2021, a state-level value added and employment data table is included. It contains value added by industry by state, estimates for each state annually of employment and compensation by industry, and comparisons with ACPSA employment and compensation by industry the same year. It also includes the annual total of employment in each state across the arts and cultural commodities industries. In addition, estimates of real value added by industry and estimates of real gross output and prices indexes by ACPSA commodity are provided in separate Excel files. The industries and commodities presented in the data are based on the 2007 North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). Users are encouraged to review the Table Guide as it gives important information for all data tables. Also, users should review the NEA Guide to the U.S. Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account and the latest Arts Data Profile Series reports dedicated to the ACPSA: The U.S. Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account (1998-2021) and State-Level Estimates of the Arts' Economic Value and Employment (2001-2021).
