About May 2008 National, State, Metropolitan, and Nonmetropolitan Area Occupational Employment and Wage

Estimates

These estimates are calculated with data collected from employers in all industry sectors in metropolitan and

nonmetropolitan areas in every State and the District of Columbia. The top five employment and wage figures are

provided above. The complete list is available in the downloadable Excel files (XLS).

Percentile wage estimates show the percentage of workers in an occupation that earn less than a given wage and the

percentage that earn more. The median wage is the 50th percentile wage estimate--50 percent of workers earn less

than the median and 50 percent of workers earn more than the median. More about percentile wages.

(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.

(8) Estimate not released.
