full-time and part-time. Employment numbers are rounded to the nearest 10. Wages are rounded to the nearest $0.25
for hourly wages and $25.00 for annual wages. If one of the data elements does
not meet publication criteria, a blank may appear. |

Occupational Classification (SOC) System. Many occupations are not
identified separately in this classification system and are included in
aggregate categories. Additionally, some occupational data are suppressed
due to publication standards. |
