(1)
Estimates for detailed occupations do not sum to the totals because the
totals include occupations not shown separately. Estimates do not include
self-employed workers.
(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 some occupations where workers typically work fewer than
2,080 hours per year are not available.
(5) This wage
is equal to or greater than $70.00 per hour or $145,600 per year.
(6) There
is wide variation in the number of hours worked by those employed as actors,
dancers, musicians, and singers. Many jobs are for a duration of 1 day
or 1 week and it is extremely rare for a performer to have guaranteed
employment for a period that exceeds 3 to 6 months.
(8) Estimate
not released.
