Ever wonder about the average American salary? If so, you are not alone. According to Yahoo, it's the most common search term when people are searching for the "average" something. The Yahoo story also lists the top 20 searches that include average in the search terms. It's a pretty interesting window into what comparisons people look to the Internet for. It seems oddly heavy on test scores and strange body measurements. Here's the top 10, the rest arent that interesting either.
- Average American Salary
- Average Credit Score
- Average Weight by Height
- Average Teacher Salary by State
- Average SAT Scores
- Average IQ
- Average Cost of Dental Implants
- Average Blood Pressure
- Average Tattoo Prices
- Average Cost of Braces
The other day a friend and I were trying to piece together the average salary for LA. I was going with something pretty low, around $45K, while she was maintaining that it was pushed a lot higher because of all the people making crazy money in entertainment. All I could find after a quick search was
this site, which lists $40K as the average for LA and Long Beach but it doesn't have a date, so reliability is out the door (side note, anesthesiologists raked in a average of $208K at the time of this report. More than surgeons - who knew?).
