Median, not average: FY2025 base salaries run from under $100 (hourly rates the filing never annualised) past $1,000,000, and an average moves with both tails. Employer and national medians are measured on the same population, so each percentage is like-for-like. A high median reflects the roles and locations a company files for, not a pay offer.
