• If the data used to calculate the wage estimate came from the actual MSA or BOS area the GeoLevel code will equal “1”. • If there were no releasable estimates for the desired area then the wages area for the area indicated plus its contiguous areas. This is signified by a GeoLevel “2”. • If there was no releasable estimates for the area, or for the area plus contiguous areas the wage is calculated from statewide data, indicated by a GeoLevel equaling “3”. • Finally, if there is no releasable estimate for the state, the national average is used. This is indicated by GeoLevel “4”.
