Youâre all set! Researchers found the world's deepest underwater sinkhole in the South China Sea.

CNC machinists may work on many different machines, or specialize on one complex machine. They are builders, fabricators, mechanics, craftsmen and quality assurance all wrapped into one. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the median hourly income for machinists in 2010 was $19.19, or $39,910 annually. CNC machinists can gain skills through vocational schools, technical colleges or community college programs, or apprenticeships.
Machinists have a wide range in income. The lowest 10 percent earn about $23,580 per year, while the top 10 percent earn $57,250. All figures come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' most recent report for May 2009. As in most fields, experienced workers earn more than beginners or apprentices.
