The median salary for a "high-tech" worker in the United States with 1 to 4 years' experience is about $70,000 [1]. That's almost 60% higher than the median American family's $43,500 household income [2].

Not that it changes your point much, but the intro paragraph says it's $56,000. Where did you get $43,500 from?
