Job Bank's national median is $29.95 an hour, about $62,000 a year at 40 hours a week. The lower and upper ends are Job Bank's low and high wages for everyone in the group, $22.56 and $43.41 an hour. The page covers career counsellors outside the school system, so school guidance counsellors are counted separately and are paid on a teacher grid instead.
