Notes:

¹Estimates do not include self-employed workers
²Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, 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.

*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.
**This wage is equal to or greater than $80.00 per hour or $166,400 per year.
***Estimate not released.
