[lbo-talk] skew

[Doug Henwood]

So the mean weekly salary for postsecondary teachers is less than 8%  
higher than the median. That's not all that big a skew. For household  
income, the mean is 37% higher than the median - and that's with the  
top-coding technique that the Census Bureau uses, which treats all  
incomes above $999,999 as $999,999, allegedly to preserve  
confidentiality.
