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, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. The mean is
computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,
weighted by hours. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position in
the earnings distribution. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the workers receive the
same as or more than the rate shown, and half receive the same as or less than the rate
shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or less than the rate shown. At
the 75th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or more than the rate shown. The 10th
and 90th percentiles follow the same logic.
2 Total include full-time and part-time workers. 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.

January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.
4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all
workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see appendix B in National
Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS
Internet site http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality
bulletins.
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 in National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS Internet site
http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality bulletins.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." 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, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. The mean is
computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,
weighted by hours. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position in
the earnings distribution. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the workers receive the
same as or more than the rate shown, and half receive the same as or less than the rate
shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or less than the rate shown. At
the 75th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or more than the rate shown. The 10th
and 90th percentiles follow the same logic.
2 This survey covers all 50 States. Collection was conducted between March 2000 and
January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.

Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS
Internet site http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality

4 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 in National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS Internet site
http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality bulletins.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." 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, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. The mean is
computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,
weighted by hours. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position in
the earnings distribution. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the workers receive the
same as or more than the rate shown, and half receive the same as or less than the rate
shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or less than the rate shown. At
the 75th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or more than the rate shown. The 10th
and 90th percentiles follow the same logic.
2 This survey covers all 50 States. Collection was conducted between March 2000 and
January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.

4 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 in National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS Internet site
http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality bulletins.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." 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, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. The mean is
computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,
weighted by hours. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position in
the earnings distribution. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the workers receive the
same as or more than the rate shown, and half receive the same as or less than the rate
shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or less than the rate shown. At
the 75th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or more than the rate shown. The 10th
and 90th percentiles follow the same logic.
2 Total include full-time and part-time workers. 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.

January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.
4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all
workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see appendix B in National
Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS
Internet site http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality
bulletins.
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 in National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS Internet site
http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality bulletins.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." 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, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. The mean is
computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,
weighted by hours. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position in
the earnings distribution. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the workers receive the
same as or more than the rate shown, and half receive the same as or less than the rate
shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or less than the rate shown. At
the 75th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or more than the rate shown. The 10th
and 90th percentiles follow the same logic.
2 This survey covers all 50 States. Collection was conducted between March 2000 and
January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.

4 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 in National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS Internet site
http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality bulletins.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." 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, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. The mean is
computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,
weighted by hours. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position in
the earnings distribution. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the workers receive the
same as or more than the rate shown, and half receive the same as or less than the rate
shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or less than the rate shown. At
the 75th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or more than the rate shown. The 10th
and 90th percentiles follow the same logic.
2 This survey covers all 50 States. Collection was conducted between March 2000 and
January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.

Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS
Internet site http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality
bulletins.
4 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 in National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS Internet site
http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality bulletins.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." 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, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. The mean is
computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,
weighted by hours. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position in
the earnings distribution. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the workers receive the
same as or more than the rate shown, and half receive the same as or less than the rate
shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or less than the rate shown. At
the 75th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or more than the rate shown. The 10th
and 90th percentiles follow the same logic.
2 Total include full-time and part-time workers. 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.

January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.
4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all
workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see appendix B in National
Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS
Internet site http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality
bulletins.
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 in National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS Internet site
http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality bulletins.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." 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, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. The mean is
computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,
weighted by hours. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position in
the earnings distribution. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the workers receive the
same as or more than the rate shown, and half receive the same as or less than the rate
shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or less than the rate shown. At
the 75th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or more than the rate shown. The 10th
and 90th percentiles follow the same logic.
2 This survey covers all 50 States. Collection was conducted between March 2000 and
January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.

4 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 in National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS Internet site
http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality bulletins.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." 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, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and tips. The mean is
computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the number of workers,
weighted by hours. The 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles designate position in
the earnings distribution. At the 50th percentile, the median, half of the workers receive the
same as or more than the rate shown, and half receive the same as or less than the rate
shown. At the 25th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or less than the rate shown. At
the 75th percentile, one-fourth earn the same as or more than the rate shown. The 10th
and 90th percentiles follow the same logic.
2 This survey covers all 50 States. Collection was conducted between March 2000 and
January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.

Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS
Internet site http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality

4 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 in National Compensation Survey:
Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS Internet site
http:www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm or any of our published NCS locality bulletins.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet publication
criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall occupational groups may
include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded
are premium pay for overtime, vacations, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and
tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the
number of workers, weighted 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 This survey covers all 50 States. Collection was conducted between March
2000 and January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.
4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see appendix B in
National Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on
the BLS Internet site: http://www.bls.gov/ncs/home.htm or any of our published
bulletins.
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 in National
Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS
Internet site: http://www.bls.gov/ncs/home.htm or any of our published NCS locality
bulletins.
6 Mean weekly hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a
week, exclusive of overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet
publication criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.

1 Earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees.
They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay. Excluded
are premium pay for overtime, vacations, holidays, nonproduction bonuses, and
tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of all workers and dividing by the
number of workers, weighted 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 This survey covers all 50 States. Collection was conducted between March
2000 and January 2002. The average reference period was January 2001.
4 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to
cover all workers in the civilian economy. For more information, see appendix B in
National Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on
the BLS Internet site: http://www.bls.gov/ncs/home.htm or any of our published
bulletins.
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 in National
Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 2001, on the BLS
Internet site: http://www.bls.gov/ncs/home.htm or any of our published NCS locality
bulletins.
6 Mean annual hours are the hours an employee is scheduled to work in a year,
exclusive of overtime.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not meet
publication criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified." Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.
