Establishment characteristics
1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
2 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
3 Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a week,
exclusive of overtime.
4 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Union workers are those whose
wages are determined through collective bargaining. Wages of time workers are based
solely on hourly rate or salary; incentive workers are those whose wages are at least
partially based on productivity payments such as piece rates, commissions, and
production bonuses.
5 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
6 Estimates for goods-producing and service-providing industries are published
for private industry only. Industries are determined by the 2002 North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS).
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
2 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
3 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated
based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts,

and physical environment. See appendix A for more information.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
2 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
3 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated
based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts,

and physical environment. See appendix A for more information.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
2 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
3 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated
based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts,
and physical environment. See appendix A for more information.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Combined work levels simplify the presentation of work levels by combining
levels 1 through 15 into four broad groups. Group I combines levels 1-4, group II
combines levels 5-8, group III combines levels 9-12, and group IV combines levels
13-15.
2 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
3 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one

establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
4 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
5 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample
estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
2 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
3 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time schedule
based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore, a worker with a
35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a full-time employee in one
establishment, but classified as part-time in another firm, where a 40-hour week is the
minimum full-time schedule.
2 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
3 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

minimum full-time schedule.
2 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
3 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.

1 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
2 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
3 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
4 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
2 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
3 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
4 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.

1 Each occupation for which data are collected in an establishment is evaluated
based on four factors, including knowledge, job controls and complexity, contacts,
and physical environment. See appendix A for more information.
2 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
3 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded are
premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips.
The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number
of workers, weighed by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median weekly earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a week, exclusive of overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees. Median annual earnings designate position – one-half of the earnings are
paid the same as or more than the rate shown and half are paid the same as or less than
the rate shown. Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in
a year, exclusive of overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.
