Estimates for residual, "All Other", occupations are not available.        
         
-1 Data for detailed occupations does not sum to the totals because the totals include data for occupations not shown separately.        
-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 there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data.        
-3 The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate.        
-4 Hourly wage rates for occupations where workers typically work fewer than 2,080 hours per year are not available.
