> You read "NYTimes" on the front-page, decided that you were gonna hate this article, and then found something that did it for you. Congratulations. You are justified in your hatred of "biased reporting".

You know, if you are so confident that the author is right, please find (or ask him) to provide relevant wage data from other related, non-lawyer, non-banking fields, and you know, not based in New York.

We'll see how strong that argument actually is once we have proper comparison points across industries. When I see cherry-picked data like that, my bullshit detector self-activates.

And no, this has nothing to do with hating the NYT. I routinely enjoy some very well written articles in the NYT, but this is one of of the worst ones they have ever published.
