1 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.
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 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. 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 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, 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of
Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
5 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees, exclusive of overtime.
6 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees, exclusive of overtime.

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, 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of
Methods, at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm.
4 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to
employees, exclusive of overtime.
5 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to
employees, 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, 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of

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, 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of

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

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

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

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, 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of

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, 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 chapter 8 of the BLS Handbook of
