Remember when you got your first job and
realized one movie ticket was equal to one hour of work or that a pair
of shoes was an entire workday? Somewhere along the way, many of us
stopped looking at our paychecks as units of time and started focusing
on how much we deposit in the bank.
If you haven’t calculated your hourly
pay in a while, now might be a good time crunch some numbers and see
what you’re bringing home each day. The median household salary is
$48,201, according to the 2006 U.S. Census Bureau report. This makes
the average hourly rate $23.17 based on a 40-hour workweek.
We’ve
made a list of the top 20 jobs that earn $30 per hour, along with their
median annual salary, based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS)

I like the list but I do have one little quibble; the "average" salaries for those business jobs (management analysts, personal financial advisers, and operations research analysts) will usually make a lot more money because they make large bonuses and/or get a cut from the revenues they create. So their "salary" can be $60,000 annually but when you add in the bonuses and other earnings their total earnings can be well over $100,000 a year (even really, really well over). Good stuff.
