Take it up with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These are nationwide averages.

  Reporting on averages is fine but you've made the mistake of thinking that average is representative of anyone. In all likelihood salaries are not normally distributed around that average, and we'd instead find a low hump (rural) and a high hump (urban, suburban).

    I doubt it, when I looked at Phoenix salaries they seemed to be in line with the bls averages.
