* Statistically different from zero at the 90-percent confidence level.
1The 2-year-average median is the sum of two inflation-adjusted single-year medians divided by 2.
2 The 2004 data have been revised to reflect a correction to the weights in the 2005 ASEC.
3A 90-percent confidence interval is a measure of an estimate's variability.  The larger the confidence
interval in relation to the size of the estimate, the less reliable the estimate.  For more information see "Standard
