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.
