MightyRecruiterThe mean wage is the average wage that employees receive for the same work performed during a given period of time. It is determined by adding together all of the wages of employees in a specific job or industry and dividing that total by the number of employees. This figure is often used as a benchmark for determining salaries to offer new hires or for estimating costs for new business processes. While this can seem like a straightforward measurement, there are complications that arise as a result of subtle differences in the job classifications and conditions. Different levels of experience and education of the workers in the sample can also skew the results.
