Annual = hourly × 2,080.
OEWS covers wage-and-salary workers only and leaves out the self-employed, overtime pay and most bonuses.
BLS marks lawyer wages of $239,200 a year ($115 an hour) or more with a footnote in its own tables; values at or above that line are shown as "about" because BLS does not publish them as precise.
