NAICS = North American Industry Classification System. Note: The average annual wage found in the annual data is computed by dividing total wage payments by the average insured employment. These figures are not true average wage scales because (1) the wages, but not employment, of all the different persons on the payroll are reflected, and (2) the assumption is made that workers worked the full quarter or year although a number of workers are not employed the whole year or quarter, and certain plants may stand idle a portion of the quarter or year. These average wages should be considered merely as indicators of wage trends rather than actual wage rates. |
