Civilian workers — such as nurses, management and other general workers — employed at hospitals earned $38.81 per hour in total compensation this past March, and wages and salaries represented two-thirds of that total, according to a news release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (pdf).

The hospital hourly average was higher than that of general healthcare and social assistance, which averaged $29.70 per hour.
Hospital benefits totaled $12.93 per hour for civilian workers, and those benefits included paid leave, supplemental pay, health insurance, retirement and savings, and other legally required benefits.
