How to read BLS hourly pay
- OEWS hourly figures come from employer wage reports for the occupation, not a generic salary ÷ 2,080 shortcut.
- A teacher’s paycheck can differ when pay is spread over fewer than 12 months, stipends are separate, or the district uses a local schedule above the state minimum.
- For gross annual ↔ hourly math on your own inputs, use the Texas hourly salary calculator.
