The median wage is a good measure of the average wage for an occupation. It is less affected by outliers than the mean wage. Outliers are workers who earn much more or much less than the average worker in an occupation.
The median wage is calculated by first sorting the wages in an occupation from lowest to highest. The wage in the middle of the sorted list is the median wage.
For example, if there are 100 workers in an occupation and their wages are sorted from lowest to highest, the wage in the 50th position is the median wage.
