For more information on the industry scope for the GGS-OCC estimates, see the Technical Note. 2 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 an hourly mean wage is not published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data. 3 Occupations listed will not sum to all-occupations total because the total includes occupations for which data are not shown. NOTE: Data represent occupational employment and wages for establishments that received all of their revenue from green goods and services. Establishments that did not generate revenue, such as government establishments, nonprofits, or startups without positive revenue, reported all of their employment associated with the production of green goods or provision of green services.
