Data Footnotes:
(1) Not used
(2) For some occupaitons, workers may not work full-time all year-round. For These occupations it is not feasible to calculate an hourly wage.
(3) An estimate of employment could not be provided.
(4) An estimate of wage could not be provided.
(5) The "Mean Relative Standard Error" is a measure of the relative precision of the wage estimate. A low number denotes relatively high validity.
(6) There is wide variation in the number of hours worked by those employed as actors, dancers, musicians, and singers.
      Many jobs are for a duration of 1 day or 1 week and it is extremely rare for a performer to have guaranteed employment
      for a period that exceeds 3 to 6 months.
