Notes on 2001 OES wage and employment estimates for use
in the ALMIS Database -- 

1.  Estimates are available for occupation totals (SIC Code=0000)
    and two- and three-digit SIC industry groups. 
2.  Occupational totals contain wage estimates for the mean and for
    10th, 25th, 50th (median), 75th and 90th percentiles.
3.  Estimates for two- and three-digit industries contain only
    mean and median estimates.
4.  We've populated the SUPPRESS variable based on the data.  Note
    that some data are suppressed to protect confidential data. In
    addition wages greater than $70.00 per hour or $145,600 annually
    are also suppressed.
