What is the question? You asked two in your earlier comment. My answer primarily addresses your first question: > So what you are saying is that more experienced and more educated people get paid more? The answer to that is "no." I interpret jonesb6's comment as pointing out that the survey depends on a survivorship bias. Thus, "more experienced and more educated people get paid more" is an incorrect translation of that comment as jonesb6 was not saying that but was making a different point.
