September -- revised and as published in last month's release -- are shown below.
Estimates of wages and salaries were revised from April through September. The revisions to
second-quarter wages and salaries reflect the incorporation of the most recently available BLS
tabulations of the second-quarter wages and salaries from the quarterly census of employment and
wages. Revised estimates for July, August, and September reflect extrapolations from the revised
second-quarter level of wages. In addition, revisions to August and September reflect revised BLS
employment, hours, and earnings data.
