Interpretation:
Jobs anchored on manual labor pay the lowest, while jobs anchored on certain sets of professional skills
pay the highest. I also noticed that the higher paying the job, the more educational qualifications are
needed to qualify (this can also be seen as higher cost of investment in terms of education).
