What these figures are

National estimates for one BLS occupation across all employers, not a rate for any one job and not a statement about any shift pattern. The median is the wage at which half the workers in the occupation are above and half below. Where BLS does not publish a value, the page says so and does not estimate it.

Shift hours

Pay for a particular shift is arithmetic on the hours actually worked and the rate actually paid. The calculators do only that arithmetic: shift hours, hour totals split at 40, long shifts, shifts that end next day.
