Well, this is a median, not a mean, so the quants can't raise it that much. A bifurcated distribution with a couple peaks could though, which is why I was thinking tenured professors + industrial researchers + Googlers on one end, with post-docs on the other.
The Ph.D. distribution is probably concentrated towards the bottom with a few spikes (guys like D.E. Shaw) raising the average.
