We know that
Nominal level of measurement represents categories.
Ordinal level of measurement represents categories which can be ordered.
Interval level of measurement represents data in which distance between two values is known.
Ratio level of measurement represents data in which distance between two values is known and has true zero.
Here, the variable of interest is "wage per hour".
As we can measure the difference between two wages and zero wage means no wage i.e it has true zero, then level of measurement is ratio.
