Title: Data Shows Tech Pro Salary Far Above National Average

Citation Type: Newspaper Article

Publication Year: 2018

Abstract: Across job categories, tech pros earn a healthy salary. Now we’ve got a better idea of just how outsized it is compared to the “average” salary, especially if you’re young. Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) takes a more granular look at Census findings and returns datasets anyone can use. Business Insider recently used the service to examine the average salary by age in the United States. As you might expect (or remember), it doesn’t pay to be young. The average 19-year-old makes $18,000 per year (which is at least better than Universal Basic Income). IPUMS data trends show earnings climb as we age, steadily. There’s no inflation to account for in this scenario. (If you’d like to see the full annual earnings sheet, Business Insider has it broken down from ages 18 through 70.)
