Oh, and comparing to the average probably isn't what you want to use to make your argument, you probably want to compare to the median.

The median would definitely be lower. I'd wager money on this. The mean is skewed upwards thanks to executives earning USD 1 million+ . The median would just treat these people as being above the 50th percentile.

Of course the median would be lower. That's why I said that it is the figure you should be using to better make your argument.
