Note: Calculations use only data on full-time salaried (i.e. nonhourly) workers. To isolate supervisory/managerial/professional salaried workers, observations are weighted by the share in each individual's occupation that is exempt from the overtime protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act based on the duties of the occupation, according to U.S. Department of Labor codes.
