Good point, but your question also has an issue:
If my answer is "2", you have no idea if it's almost 1, or almost 3, which is a huge span.
I think a better question would be "how long did you stay with your previous employer".
- rahimnathwani 7y agoThe reason I chose my question is that I only care about employment that started in the last 3 years, and how long that has tended to last. The potential huge span for an individual answer won't affect the usefulness of the median. Your question is interesting but would pollute any summary statistic with too much old and irrelevant data. Imagine someone who has had two employers: the first for 2 years, and the second for 45 years.
