  1 A classification system including about 800 individual occupations is used to cover all workers in the
civilian economy. See appendix B for more information.
  2 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees.
  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
appendix A.
  4 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees.
