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 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.
5 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees.
6 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees.
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 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.
5 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees.
6 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees.

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 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.
5 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Overall
occupational groups may include data for categories not shown separately.
