Topcoding of Usual Hourly Earnings
This variable will be topcoded based on an individual's usual hours worked variable, if the individual's edited usual weekly earnings variable is $999. The topcode is computed such that the product of usual hours times usual hourly does not exceed an annualized wage of $100,000 ($1,923.07 per week). Below is a list of the appropriate topcodes.
