Notes:               Wage and salary workers are workers age 16 and older who receive
                     wages, salaries, commissions, tips, payments in kind, or piece rates
                     on their sole or principal job. This group includes employees in both
                     the private and public sectors.
                     Workers paid by the hour are employed wage and salary workers who
                     report that they are paid at an hourly rate on their job. Estimates of
                     workers paid by the hour include both full-time and part-time workers
                     unless otherwise specified. All self-employed workers are excluded
                     whether or not their businesses are incorporated.
                     
                     The estimates of workers paid at or below the federal minimum wage are
                     based solely on the hourly wage they report (which does not include
                     overtime pay, tips, or commissions). Salaried workers and other
                     nonhourly paid workers are also excluded. It should be noted that some
                     respondents might round hourly earnings when answering survey
                     questions. As a result, some workers might be reported as having
                     hourly earnings above or below the federal minimum wage when, in fact,
                     they earn the minimum wage.
