A flag records how the source published the value: preliminary is
subject to revision, estimated was edited or filled by the source,
suspect was marked questionable by it, suppressed was
withheld to avoid identifying an individual employer, and
unavailable means no value was published for that period. A
suppressed or unavailable value is stored empty, never as a zero.
Methodology
Average weekly wage by NAICS sector, from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages — one series per sector per area.
Private ownership only, for the reason set out on the sector employment page: QCEW publishes no sector that combines private and government employment, and summing ownerships ourselves would be a computation that breaks wherever one is suppressed.
Derivation, the breadth of "wages", nominal dollars and the preliminary quarter are all as for the headline average weekly wage series, which documents them at length. One thing is worth repeating here: because the figure includes bonuses and exercised stock options, a sector with few employers in a small county can swing hard between quarters without anyone's pay changing.
Suppressed sector-quarters are stored as empty with a suppressed flag rather
than as the zero in the file.
