I'm finding this data fascinating. For example, here is the "Software developers":

A few points that struck me:

- income is a lot more evenly distributed than the US average.

- "Video tape & disk rental" is by far the highest paying sector. I guess that is all down to Netflix? "Taxi and limousine service" is in 4th place. That's Uber and Lyft?

Good eye. I have heard that Netflix pays particularly well, so that would make sense. Also I suppose if you worked on Hulu or any other online streaming platform it wouldn't fall in the same category so I wonder what other companies would fall under that category.

Finally, how do they derive those categories? NAICS codes?

It looks like BLS categories (they list BLS as a source too):
