Net compensation data for 2003

The Social Security Administration defines net compensation to be wage, tips, and the like subject to Federal income taxes, as reported by employers on Forms W-2. Beginning with 1991, net compensation includes contributions to deferred compensation plans, but excludes certain distributions from plans where the distributions are included in the reported compensation subject to income taxes.
