1 Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080
hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly
calculated from the reported survey data.
2 Wages for some occupations that do not generally work year-round, full time, are reported either as hourly wages or
annual salaries, depending on how they are typically paid.
