  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 https://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 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.
  5 Mean weekly earnings are based on the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime.
  6 Mean annual earnings are based on the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees, exclusive of overtime.
