r     Revised.
1    Average wage/salary per job is calculated as total wage and
      salary disbursements divided by all full- and part-time wage
      and salary workers.  The data are by place of work rather than
      by place of residence.
2    The data for New Mexico shown on county and metro area tables
      may differ from figures appearing in state tables seen elsewhere
      in this web site.  The data in the state tables became available
      with the Dept. of Commerce "state releases".  The New Mexico data
      in this table became available with the "county and metro area
      releases" and are consistent with county and metro area income.
      The state and county/metro area data follow different revision
      schedules and were released separately.
