the raw page is mirrored to R2). 2 of the 10 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in AUD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 21 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the statistical agency's hourly wage for the occupation that teaches lessons (US self-enrichment teachers 25-3021, GB ASHE two-digit teaching occupations, CA Job Bank musicians and singers, AU ABS employee earnings) set against the advertised lesson rate from the index, giving the gap between what a lesson sells for and what the hour pays, and the self-employment charge the teacher carries on it (US SECA rate and wage base, UK Class 2/4 thresholds, CRA and ATO self-employment rules); the series is the gap by year, which is what tells a parent why a rate moved and a teacher what to charge", "embed": "
