Gross monthly earnings before tax, all employees in Norway (not specific to this place), as defined by SSB. The occupation list is a selection, not the full catalogue. Averages hide big differences by employer, experience and collective agreement. Contract hours include part-time employees.
Many occupations in this field are regulated: authorisation or recognition is needed before you can work (see the HK-dir regulated professions list).
