  1. For each of the professions in the left column, calculate the annual pay based on full-time, year-round employment consisting of 2,000 hours a year (40 hours per week for 50 weeks each year). Record your calculations under "Annual income" in the table. Then, find the difference between each annual wage figure and both the poverty threshold and the median household income. If the difference is a negative number, record it as such.

For the last two columns you will need the poverty threshold and median household income......you'll have to use what was given to you for these values or you will have to  look them up if they weren't given to you in this or another question....Sorry !   cheeky

I found (for 2013) that poverty line = 12119 for a single person

   and MHI = 51939      Though I do not know if these are the values they want you to use, here is an example

first line    7.25 x 2000 = annul income = 14500     14500 - 12119 = $2381 ABOVE poverty line   14500 - 51939 = 37439 BELOW MHI

   etc

     etc
