Average nation-wide yearly salary
The average salary in Kenya represents the total income earned by all workers across all categories or job industries divided by the number of workers. So for example if there are 1 million active workers registered in a country, the average salary would be the sum of all those yearly salaries divided by 1 million. Average salary thus gives an overall picture of earnings but may be inacurate, since it can not reflect what most people earn. This is due to the fact that there might be high-income disparity.
In addition to this fact, there are also very big difference between categories / job industries. For example average salary in dental industry might be higher than average salary in manufacturing, but judging by the country's average jobs in both industries could earn significantly more (or less) than that. Jobs in in Construction industry might fall under this disparity as well.
