NOTE
As a result of problems implementing the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification, Employer Costs
for Employee Compensation data for December 2013 and March 2014 contained errors when originally
published. These errors have been corrected in the database and historical listings. The errors were
primarily in the management, professional, and related occupational group and sub-groups in civilian,
private industry, and state and local government. For further information, see
