How to interpret these wages
The monthly figure is the annual mean divided by 12, not a separately surveyed monthly salary. The annual and hourly statistics reflect the OEWS survey methodology and may not describe the same individual's actual hours or pay contract. These are gross statistical averages, not medians, entry-level salaries or after-tax income. State comparisons are not cost-of-living adjusted.
