Notes: To learn more about *SOC Codes and *SOC Occupational Descriptions, see *SOC - Standard Occupational Classification If you cannot find a description for a specific occupational code within the descriptions on our website, please see an explanation about hybrid occupations on the BLS website at https://www.bls.gov/oes/soc_2018.htm. The mean wage is also known as the average wage. The mean wage is calculated by dividing the estimated total wages for an occupation by the number of workers in that occupation. Percentile wages represent the percentage of an occupation's workers who earn less than or equal to that wage. The median wage is the 50th percentile: 50% earn less than or equal to this amount; 50% earn more. The Sioux Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) consists of the South Dakota counties of Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha and Turner. For more information on South Dakota wage areas, see Counties Included in Wage Areas. For more information on percentile wages, see technical notes.
