Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wages Statistics data from May 2021; Occupation Code 11-9151 Social and Community Service Managers, Median Hourly Wage Rate for State Government = $38.16. Available at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes119151.htm. We have multiplied this wage rate by 1.33 to represent fully-loaded wages. However, 50% of administrative costs incurred by State agencies are reimbursed by FNS, which results in a reimbursement value of $25.38 ($38.16 x 1.33 x 0.50) per burden hour. |
The hourly wage rate has decreased because FNS previously did not apply the fully-loaded wages and 50% federal cost sharing in the wage rate itself, but instead in the total cost burden. FNS now uses the calculation referenced above for the wage rate. |
