本摘要提供了1985年200多个职业类别工人每周收入中位数的年度平均数据。这些数据是通过当前人口调查（cps）获得的，这是人口普查局为劳动统计局进行的全国性抽样调查。所涵盖的是通常全职工作（每周35小时或以上）的工资和薪金工人（不包括注册自营职业者）。这一年度系列于1982年首次出版，也有1979年以来未出版的形式。一个是职业分类制度。目前的分类系统是为1980年人口普查而制定的，于1983年引入cps。2由于新的分类系统与以前的分类系统有很大不同，1983 - 85年的数据无法与1979 - 82年的数据进行比较。另一个警告涉及目前用于估计每周收入中位数的程序。在1983年之前，中位数是使用50美元到100美元宽区间的线性插值来估计的。1983年和1984年的中位数最初是通过10美元宽的非中心区间的插值估计的。引入这一变化是为了减少系统性的向上偏差，这种偏差是由于对收入数据使用了更宽的非中心区间造成的，这些数据很容易被cps受访者四舍五入。1985年，该程序又改回50美元区间，但这些区间都以50美元的倍数为中心。这种新的程序减少了有时由大量狭窄间期引起的中位数不稳定运动。1983年和1984年的数据已使用新程序进行了修订，可向劳工统计局索取，但早期的中位数仍基于旧的（1983年以前）程序。与往年一样，表1中的数据仅限于就业工资至少为50 000美元的职业，
This summary presents 1985 annual average data on the median weekly earnings of workers in more than 200 occupational categories . The data are obtained through the Current Population Survey (cps), a nationwide sample survey conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by the Bureau of the Census . Covered are wage and salary workers (excluding the incorporated self-employed) who usually work full time (35 hours or more per week). First published in 1982, this annual series is also available in unpublished form back to 1979.1 When making year-toyear comparisons, several caveats must be taken into account. One concerns the occupational classification system. The present system, developed for the 1980 census, was introduced into the cps in 1983 .2 Because the new classification system is vastly different from the previous one, 198385 data are not comparable with those available for 197982 . Another caveat relates to the procedure currently used to estimate median weekly earnings . Prior to 1983, medians were estimated using the linear interpolation of $50to $100-wide intervals . Medians for 1983 and 1984 were initially estimated via the interpolation of $10-wide uncentered intervals. This change was introduced to reduce a systematic upward bias resulting from the use of wider uncentered intervals for earnings data, which are subject to a high incidence of rounding by cps respondents . In 1985, the procedure was changed back to $50-wide intervals, but these were centered on multiples of $50. This newer procedure lessens the sometimes erratic movements in medians caused by having a large number of narrow intervals. The data for 1983 and 1984 have been revised using the new procedure and are available from BLS on request, but earlier medians are still based on the old (pre-1983) procedures . As in previous years, the data in table 1 are limited to those occupations with at least 50,000 employed wage and
