To find the equivalent hourly wage, divide the maximum annual pay by the number of hours worked in a year.

There are typically 40 hours worked per week, and about 52 weeks in a year (taking into account holidays and vacation time). So the total number of hours worked in a year is 40 hours/week * 52 weeks = 2080 hours.

Now, divide the maximum annual pay by the total number of hours worked:
$30,300 / 2080 hours = $14.56

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the equivalent hourly wage is $14.56.
