  1 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.
  2 Earnings are the straight-time hourly wages or salaries paid to employees. They include incentive pay, cost-of-living adjustments, and hazard
pay. Excluded are premium pay for overtime, vacations, and holidays; nonproduction bonuses; and tips. The mean is computed by totaling the pay of
all workers and dividing by the number of workers, weighted by hours.
  3 The NCS uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification coding structure, which defines more than 800 unique occupations, to match jobs
sampled by the survey. Military occupations are excluded from the survey.
