Your 2nd source is not really average incomes, because it intentionally does not include many of the educated - this is what “production and non-supervisory” employees means.
- randomdata 3y agoYeah, I don't love it, but it's what I found. Strangely, it is not plastered over every "Is college worth it?" article. You'd think it would be right up front and center. Median income is much more readily available, but not so useful here as the median person still does not have a college degree. That said, it could possibly stand in to help control for income gains seen unrelated to college.
