A few points that struck me:
- income is a lot more evenly distributed than the US average.
- "Video tape & disk rental" is by far the highest paying sector. I guess that is all down to Netflix? "Taxi and limousine service" is in 4th place. That's Uber and Lyft?
- joncrane 7y agoGood eye. I have heard that Netflix pays particularly well, so that would make sense. Also I suppose if you worked on Hulu or any other online streaming platform it wouldn't fall in the same category so I wonder what other companies would fall under that category. Finally, how do they derive those categories? NAICS codes?
- maxerickson 7y agoIt looks like BLS categories (they list BLS as a source too): https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#15-0000 https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#15-0000
