What day laborers earn by hour, month, year

On the Corner, the recently published nationwide survey of day laborers, reports that 7.4% of work assignments pay $7 per hour or less; 22% between $7 and $9.99; 46% between $10 and $12; and 25%, over $12.
Assignments paying over $12 usually involve high skill work such as electrical or plumbing work.
For total monthly earnings, in a good month the median total income is $1,400. In a bad month the median is $500.
The authors report that even with workers who have more good than bad months, it is unlikely that their total annual wages exceed $15,000.
