I agree that it’s an awkward label, but “good research practices” felt worse. It was median, not average, as well, which makes sense as potentially being lower

It was median, not average, as well, which makes sense as potentially being lower than an average wage.
- walshemj 9y agoThe median is better for things like pay as it removes the extreme outliers - I doubt you'd like it if your negotiation for a pay increase was denied because your lavishly remunerated c level execs skewed the average.
- stochastic_monk 9y agoExactly. Which is why the responses which focus on how the "average" pay is higher than the "median" pay the report mentioned is misleading at best.
