Notes:               Data measure usual weekly earnings of wage and salary workers. Wage
                     and salary workers are workers who receive wages, salaries,
                     commissions, tips, payment in kind, or piece rates. The group includes
                     employees in both the private and public sectors but, for the purposes
                     of the earnings series, it excludes all self-employed persons, both
                     those with incorporated businesses and those with unincorporated
                     businesses.
                     Usual weekly earnings represent earnings before taxes and other
                     deductions and include any overtime pay, commissions, or tips usually
                     received (at the main job in the case of multiple jobholders). Prior
                     to 1994, respondents were asked how much they usually earned per week.
                     Since January 1994, respondents have been asked to identify the
                     easiest way for them to report earnings (hourly, weekly, biweekly,
                     twice monthly, monthly, annually, or other) and how much they usually
                     earn in the reported time period. Earnings reported on a basis other
                     than weekly are converted to a weekly equivalent. The term "usual" is
                     determined by each respondent's own understanding of the term. If the
                     respondent asks for a definition of "usual," interviewers are
                     instructed to define the term as more than half the weeks worked
                     during the past 4 or 5 months. For more information see
