easily measured quantity of work done.
• It is contrasted with salaried work, which is
based on a fixed time period.

periodically by an employer to an employee
• What a "Salary" looks like:
$45,000 per year

So basically, a Salary tells you how much you'll
earn either in a month or a year.
While a wage tells you how much you'll earn
in an hour (and a Day, too? Not sure on this).
