  1  8 highest; provided that the individual has been paid wages for
  1  9 insured work totaling at least three and five-tenths percent
  1 10 of the statewide average annual wage for insured work,
  1 11 computed for the preceding calendar year if the individual's
  1 12 benefit year begins on or after the first full week in July
  1 13 and computed for the second preceding calendar year if the
