Averages are funny things
Especially when you average an executive making $20 mil with a minimum wage
Is that true healthmyths? These hourly wage employees had their wages lumped in with the executives making millions a year? And you think that number represents the "average" worker eh?
Uh, yeah, is this true? If you are taking the very top earners, that statistically have disproportionately high earnings (which is not to say that they do not deserve them), then the results of the survey will be skewed and the inferences you draw from your FACTS will be compromised to some degree.
BTW, most legitimate and meaningful economic studies avoid this whole problem by examining medians rather than the mean (average).
