Most occupations have hourly wages displayed. Hourly wage rates for occupations where workers typically work fewer than 2080 hours a year are not available. Annual wages are displayed for such jobs. Starting or entry wage is the mean (average) of the lower third of survey wages. Information on starting wage was not collected as part of the survey.
