About May 2009 National, State, Metropolitan, and Nonmetropolitan Area Occupational

Employment and Wage Estimates

(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 "yearround, 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) Wages for some occupations that do not generally work year-round, full time, are

reported either as hourly wages or annual salaries depending on how they are typically

paid.

(5) This wage is equal to or greater than $80.00 per hour or $166,400 per year.
