Curated directly by the reviewer from the INEC Costa Rica Encuesta Continua de Empleo (Continuous Employment Survey), historical-series workbook Cuadro 4, average monthly income from the main job (gross current income, colones), moving quarter April to June 2026. Archetype: all employees in Education and health (Enseñanza y salud). No occupation or seniority split is published, so this is an all-seniority average: treat it as a floor when quoting senior roles.
