Revolt · Accepted Answer

I would want to know the range and spread of the salaries to see the potential for growth. It is important to know the minimum and maximum salaries to determine if $39,500 is an entry-level starting salary or near the top of the pay scale. I would also want to know if the average is skewed by a few very high earners, which would mean most employees actually earn less than the reported mean.
