How were the wage ranges determined?
Wage ranges, levels and the percent differences in wages are primarily based on 2006 Occupational Employment Survey hourly wage estimates for the U.S. and California. In some cases, the results of our worker movement analysis, and other variables-such as average years of education and average years of work experience-were also utilized to help determine the relative difference in wage levels.
