These data use the North American Industrial Classification System(NAICS) categories (as opposed to Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) categories). Average weekly wage is derived by dividing gross payroll dollars paid to all employees both hourly and salaried - by the average number of employees who had earnings; average earnings are then divided by the number of weeks in a reporting period to obtain weekly figures. Figures in other columns may not sum accurately due to rounding since all figures represent Annual Averages. Source: Georgia Department of Labor.
