unique occupations, to match jobs sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey. 2 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime. 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 https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch8_a.htm. 4 Mean annual earnings are based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime.
