"1 Synthetic work-life earnings represent expected earnings over a 40-year time period for the population aged 25-64 who maintain full-time, year-round employment the entire time. Calculations are based on median annual earnings from a single point in time for eight 5-year age groups and multiplied by five.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
2 This figure added to or subtracted from the estimate provides the 90-percent confidence interval.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
