> earn hundreds of dollars more... I don't know the exact numbers but if the mean is nearly ten thousand and the standard deviation is nearly one thousand then

  That's not true. If you have a large enough sample, you can be confident that even a small improvement in mean, despite a large stddev is meaningful. Whether it actually matters in the real world and causes positive outcomes for people is an entirely different matter.
