 * These data are collected from the [http://www.bls.gov U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics], the [http://www.census.gov Census Bureau] and other sources.
 * '''Variables'''
-** '''Index''': Ranks of the 200 most common jobs based on the Overall_Score variable (lower rank/index indicates better job, and higher rank indicates a less desirable job for 2011).
+** '''Index''': Ranks of the 200 most common jobs based on the Overall_Score variable (lower rank/index indicates better job, and higher rank indicates a less desirable job for 2011). Overall Rank Index represents the sum of the rankings in each of the five variable (below) where each of the variables are assumed (!) to be equally important.
 ** '''Job_Title''': A brief title of the profession.
 ** '''Overall_Score''': A Dependent variable corresponding to the linearly predicted overall rank of this job using the remaining explanatory variables (below).
 ** '''Average_Income''' (USD): An estimate of the mid-levels income for this profession.
 ** '''Work_Environment''': Work environment for each job reflects 2 basic factors: physical and emotional components. Points are assigned for potential for adverse working conditions (larger scores). In other words, fewer work-environment points would yield a lower (better) job rank and higher points reflect lower quality environments.
-** '''Stress_Level''':
+** '''Stress_Level''': Expected level of job-related stress dependent on 11 potential stress factors. A high stress score implies that stress is a major part of the job, and lower stress score indicates lower job-relates stress. Factors contributing to stress level score include: Travel, Outlook/Growth Potential, Income, Deadlines, Working in the Public Eye, Competitiveness, Physical Demands, Environmental Conditions, Hazards Encountered, Own Life at Risk, Co-Worker Life at Risk, Meeting the Public.
-** '''Physical_Demand''':
+** '''Physical_Demand''': The total physical demand if a job is measures using five categories: Sedentary Work (requiring only the occasional lifting of 10lbs or less), Light Work (requiring lifting a maximum of 20lbs), Medium Work (requiring lifting a maximum of 50lbs), Heavy Work (requiring lifting a maximum of 100lbs) and Very Heavy Work (requiring lifting in excess of 100lbs).
 ** '''Hiring_Potential''': The hiring-potential rank assigns higher scores to jobs with promising future outlook and lower scores for less future potential. This ranking is based on 3 factors: US Department of Labor expected employment growth (2011-2018), income growth potential (expected salary increase in the next 7 years), and unemployment chance (estimate of the likelihood for unemployment through 2018).
 ** '''Description''': A brief job description for each profession.
