Is your wage excessive, low, or someplace within the center? What do folks with greater salaries than you do for a residing? Docs, attorneys, and tech employees come to thoughts, however there’s a wider vary of occupations, relying on the earnings stage you’re evaluating towards.
Use the slider to regulate annual wage. Every rectangle represents an occupation, and the dimensions represents the variety of employees who made extra, given a wage.
That is primarily based on knowledge from the five-year American Group Survey for 2023.
Percentages are out of employees who reported wage earnings higher than zero. So that you see all the roles when the edge is about to $0. Enhance the edge, and, as anticipated, the proportion of people that make extra decreases. Administrative assist and gross sales develop much less frequent as administration and healthcare practitioners change into extra frequent with greater earnings.
At $45,000 per 12 months, half of employees make extra. The share of employees who make extra decreases faster with greater thresholds. At $100,000, solely 16% of employees make extra. 4% of employees make greater than $200,000.
The ultimate 1% makes greater than $520,000. Whereas the classes — administration, healthcare practitioners, and gross sales — appear about proper, I’m curious in regards to the much less typical jobs, reminiscent of cashiers and elementary college lecturers who reported making greater than half one million in wage. I think these are administrators and managers who do greater than handle. Or it might simply be noise. I’m betting the previous.
