They classified people we don't think of as programmers as programmers. Classic job stats mistake.

Ok, sure, that's one category and some of the others do have a higher median. Some of what we think of as "programmers" or "developers" will actually land in other categories, and also some we don't, will too.

But still, even the top-median category, "Computer and Information Research Scientists", doesn't have "retire in 20 years" median wages.
