I just don't know if this data is accurate. The people around me all make around 150-200k, but this graphic makes that out to be exceedingly rare. Yet I know I could do a quick search and find plenty of opportunities in that range.
it's hard to know how to interpret all this data when the sources report such different values. in particular, i really wonder what to make of the fact that the bureau of labor reports median pay that is significantly higher than most of the values for average pay reported by other sources. if this were actually true, it would indicate a very wacky pay distribution.
