Notes: Pay levels, which reflect respondents reported income from work in the previous year from working, are in 2006 dollars. Working overtime refers to having at least one day in the last month in which extra hours were worked beyond one's usual schedule. In this table, “Other” workers, who include independent contractors, consultants, and freelance workers, are included in the hourly workers' figures given their similarity in flexibility to hourly workers. Shares shown may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding.
