*2012 Alaska mean wage. For most occupations, the average wage estimate is expressed as an hourly wage. Workers in some occupations, such as teachers, typically do not work year-round and are paid salaries rather than an hourly wage. For these occupations, the average wage estimate is expressed as an average annual wage.
