  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 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.
