Employers pay a substantial amount more than salaries for their employees. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the average employee compensation averaged $30.07 per hour for March 2011. In addition to compensation, employers pay for benefits, along with local, state and federal taxes.
antiquary. n, pl-quaries. 1. (Antiques) a person who collects, deals in, or studies antiques, ancient works of art, or ancient times.
An artist is someone who makes art. Societies of artists have perhaps the loosest definitions, admitting new members on the basis of the quality of an individual's work or, in some cases, simply paying annual dues.
