I would guess that USA Today is using the value of benefits (in particular, medical insurance) to make those numbers bigger. (Insurance really is comp, but most people don't include the value of it in what they'd say they earn.)
Also, USA Today is playing a cute trick with its graph. It shows 82,000 workers making $150K, and 45,000 workers making $160K, e.g. I would bet that the latter are included in the former figure to make it more impressive, though most people looking at that sort of graph would read it differently. |
we had OT turned on and off, and 15s had trouble getting approval anytime. but maybe there are jobs where the 15s had it authorized?
