You just choose reasonable values, e.g. I chose to look at a union
member who worked the regular (40) hours a week. For work experience I
looked for the closest "nice" number near the average amount of work
experience. So, in general you need to use your knowledge of the
context and use that to decide what values are interesting and/or
typical.
