You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You should be able to look this info up in a database somewhere. If not, then you can take each salary (before taxes and such) and divide it by the wage. For example, someone who made $20,000 last year (before taxes) and worked $10 an hour worked for 20000%2F10=2000 hours. This might be unrealistic, but you get the idea.


Since the number of people is a whole countable number, this means that this data is discrete data.
