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, weighted 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of
Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
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
earnings are determined through collective bargaining. Earnings of time workers are
based solely on hourly rate or salary; incentive workers are those whose earnings are
at least partially based on productivity payments such as piece rates, commissions,
and production bonuses. For more information, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of
Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
5 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
6 Estimates for goods-producing and service-providing industries are published
for private industry only. The NCS uses the 2007 North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) to determine the industry of each sampled
establishment.
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, 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 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. For more information, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook
of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
4 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of
Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups 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, 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 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. For more information, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook
of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
4 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of
Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups 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, 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 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. For more information, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook
of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
4 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of
Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately.

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. 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. See chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of Methods, at
http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm, 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, weighted 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

minimum full-time schedule.
4 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of
Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are calculated
from individual worker earnings and the hours they are scheduled to work. For more
information, see chapter 8 of the Handbook of Methods, at
http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
2 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately.

1 Percentiles designate position in the earnings distribution and are calculated
from individual worker earnings and the hours they are scheduled to work. For more
information, see chapter 8 of the Handbook of Methods, at
http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
2 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data did not meet publication criteria. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups 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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
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, weighted by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups 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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
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, weighted by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups 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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
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, weighted by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings

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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
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, weighted by hours.
3 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately.

1 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
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, weighted by hours.
3 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately.

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. For more information, see chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook
of Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
2 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure,
which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the
survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
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, weighted by hours.
4 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median weekly earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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 based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries
paid to employees. Median annual earnings designate position in the earnings
distribution at which 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. Broad occupational
groups may include data for subordinate occupational groups not shown separately.
