       NOTE:  The prevailing Federal minimum wage was $5.15 per hour in 2006. Data are for wage and salary workers, excluding the
     incorporated self-employed. They refer to a person's earnings on their sole or principal job, and pertain only to workers who
     are paid hourly rates. Salaried workers and other nonhourly workers are not included. The presence of workers with hourly
     earnings below the minimum wage does not necessarily indicate violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as there are
     exceptions to the minimum wage provisions of the law. In addition, some survey respondents might have rounded hourly earnings to
     the nearest dollar, and, as a result, reported hourly earnings below the minimum wage even though they earned the minimum wage
     or higher. Beginning in January 2006, data reflect revised population controls used in the household survey. Dash indicates no
     data or data that does not meet publication criteria.
