QUESTION:  Does one year of experience represent entry level?

 

One year of experience represents the average (or mean) wage during the first year of employment.

 

Please note: ERI reports salaries for actual incumbents reported in actual surveys of employers, so those data would represent standard practices ranging from the very least qualified to the very most qualified job holders. For example, attorney and medical doctor are both jobs where surveys only report earnings of properly qualified and duly licensed practitioners.
