).The survey conducted each March is more detailed than in other months and asks questions about earnings during the previous year. The data sets contain data for 2004 (from the March 2005 survey), and some also for earlier years (up to 1992).
If education is given, it is for full-time workers, defined as workers employed more than 35 hours per week for at least 48 weeks in the previous year. Data are provided for workers whose highest educational achievement is a high school diploma and a bachelor's degree.
Earnings for years earlier than 2004 were adjusted for inflation by putting them in 2004 USD using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). From 1992 to 2004, the price of the CPI market basket rose by 34.6%. To make earnings in 1992 and 2004 comparable, 1992 earnings are inflated by the amount of overall CPI price inflation, by multiplying 1992 earnings by 1.346 to put them into 2004 dollars.
