lol? I find it fascinating you went out of your way to use median. Gotta practice those gymnastics.

[CPLX]

Median is the generally accepted approach to determining the average value in a large data set of income figures, as it takes into account both the distribution of values as well as the gross income number. The mean is merely a restatement of gross income.

What's wrong with using Median? More than 50% of the population makes less than that.

[funstr]

Actually less than 50% of population makes less than that if you consider that some people earn exactly the median.
