Estimates for residual, "All Other", occupations are not available.
  • (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) = Hourly wage rates for occupations where workers typically work fewer than 2,080 hours per year are not available.
  • (3) = Wage rates are calculated using three years of data: 1997, 1998, and 1999.
  • (4) = Median hourly wage is equal to or greater than $70.00 per hour.
  • (5) = Estimates not released due to high relative standard error.
