Population shown in these results

Applies to charts and table

Everyone included in this metric, with no demographic filters

Who is included?

Full-time, year-round employed noninstitutionalized population age 16–64, including Armed Forces, with valid adjusted earnings, including zero and net losses and a reported occupation.

Grouped by Occupation. Each group uses the same population filters.

What this selection shows

2024 · No demographic filters

33 of 48 estimates loaded so far are available. The displayed median earnings by occupation estimates range from $32,488 to $110,662 for the loaded results. A difference between estimates does not by itself show a statistically significant difference. Check the paired difference confidence interval and reliability labels when available; separate population margins of error do not test that difference. 15 unavailable rows remain in the table with specific reasons.

Availability for this selection

33 stable · 0 unstable · 15 suppressed

48 result rows returned, including any requested calculations. These counts apply to the displayed selection only.

What do the availability labels mean?
Absent coverage
This combination is not included in the release. No estimate or reliability assessment is available.
Ineligible selection
The selected group falls outside the measure’s population universe or valid category combinations. A broader release cannot make that statistic eligible.
Undefined or missing input
A zero denominator makes a statistic undefined. Missing required information prevents calculation. These are distinct from withholding an otherwise defined estimate under reliability rules.
Suppressed
A result exists, but its estimate and uncertainty are withheld under the release’s reliability rules. This is not a zero.
Unstable
The estimate is shown with uncertainty, but its relative standard error exceeds the release’s threshold. Use caution.
Stable
The estimate meets the release’s sample size and relative standard error thresholds. It still has sampling uncertainty.

Some estimates are suppressed. Their reasons remain in the detailed table. A broader selection may also be suppressed or unstable; availability is checked after you choose it.
