economy. See appendix B for more information. 2 Mean weekly earnings are the straight-time weekly wages or salaries paid to employees. 3 The relative standard error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a percent of the estimate. It can be used to calculate a "confidence interval" around a sample estimate. For more information about RSEs, see appendix A. 4 Mean annual earnings are the straight-time annual wages or salaries paid to employees.
