Louisiana’s pay plan divides state classified jobs into six pay schedules based on broad occupational categories. The six pay schedules are listed below. The jobs within each pay schedule have relatively similar recruitment, retention, and compensation needs. Therefore, salary data was analyzed separately for each of these six pay schedules. OCCUPATIONAL GROUP COMPARISONS
PUBLIC/PRIVATE SECTOR COMPARISONS
Salary data from both public sector and private sector employers were included in this analysis. However, the sectors are shown separately in this report since the relative value of the different comparisons may vary due to the jobs that were available for comparison in each group. For the majority of classified jobs, competition for skilled employees comes not from other states, but from private employers within Louisiana. For example, an Accountant that is considering employment with the Department of Transportation and Development would be more likely to compare the offerings of state employment to those of local private competitors such as Exxon, IBM, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, etc. Part of defining the relevant labor market involves identifying employers within the same industry. State government is a public sector entity. For this reason, it is important to show a comparison against public sector data as well.
