Default Several column headers have a $ following name, what?

Our research data is on Excel worksheets. The many columns have text headers
which have appeared with a $ following the name, such as, worklife$. What
does the $ signify - Does the $ have to do with the data having been imported
from a another program?

This may be due to importing. Most programs use the "$" symbol to indicate
that the data allowed in that field is a string.
