1 Percentiles are calculated from average hourly wages for sampled
establishment jobs within each occupation. The percentiles describe the
distribution of an occupation’s employment by the average wage rates for
its jobs. For example, at the 10th percentile hourly wage for an
occupation, one-tenth of the occupation’s employment are found in
sampled establishment jobs whose average wages are the same or less,
and nine-tenths are in jobs averaging the same or more. The calculations
of the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly
wages are the straight-time wages or salaries paid to employees. They
include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay.
Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, holidays,

nonproduction bonuses, and tips.
2 All workers include full-time and part-time workers.
3 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations
is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for
more information.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not
meet publication criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified."
Overall occupational groups may include data for categories not shown
separately.

of the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly
wages are the straight-time wages or salaries paid to employees. They
include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay.
Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, holidays,
nonproduction bonuses, and tips.
2 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time

schedule based on the definition used by each establishment. Therefore,
a worker with a 35-hour-per-week schedule might be considered a
full-time employee in one establishment, but classified as part-time in
another firm, where a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule.
3 A classification system including about 480 individual occupations
is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. See appendix B for
more information.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data did not
meet publication criteria, and n.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified."
Overall occupational groups may include data for categories not shown
separately.

1 Percentiles are calculated from average hourly wages for sampled
establishment jobs within each occupation. The percentiles describe the
distribution of an occupation’s employment by the average wage rates for
its jobs. For example, at the 10th percentile hourly wage for an
occupation, one-tenth of the occupation’s employment are found in
sampled establishment jobs whose average wages are the same or less,
and nine-tenths are in jobs averaging the same or more. The calculations
of the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles follow the same logic. Hourly
wages are the straight-time wages or salaries paid to employees. They
include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard pay.
Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, holidays,
nonproduction bonuses, and tips.
2 Employees are classified as working either a full-time or a part-time

another firm, where a 40-hour week is the minimum full-time schedule.
