Median gross salary

Median — the middle value: half of all employees earn more than this, and half earn less.

For salaries of 1 000, 1 500, and 6 000, the median is 1 500 — the middle value — while the average is 2 833, pulled upward by the highest salary.

That's why the median is a more realistic measure of a typical salary.
