It's wild that there are as many jobs in the category "Top Executives" as in the category "Retail Sales Worker". This makes sense given both automation and the US's role in the global economy, but it runs somewhat contrary to standard ideas of class and inequality.
I took one glance at the chart and decided the results were impossible because of that. Apparently "top executive" median pay is $105,350 per year: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/management/top-executives.htm
I'd like to use this on my website and also see if I can create variations for some of the major EU markets.

Software Developers median pay according to BLS: $131,450 per year (Source: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/... ) Computer Programmers median pay according to BLS: $98,670 per year (Source: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/... ) Software developers typically do the following: - Analyze users’ needs and then design and develop software to meet those needs Recommen…
Still look the same to me.
It feels like the intent was that "Programmers" were the ones doing the routine / lower skill tasks while the Developers were the ones that did the specification and architecture.
Those got juggled around and largely people getting listed as "Computer Programmer" is going down as the company relists them as Software Developer.
This is also part of the confusion of "Web Developer" which is also in there.
It reflects what government thought management thought title and roles were some years ago.

Wealth inequality is increasing, but the wealth isn't all flowing into the 1%'s pockets. Lots of middle class people have graduated into upper-middle class: https://www.aei.org/research-products/report/the-middle-clas... Wealth inequality is still a problem. But it's not just the people at the very top benefitting.

Upper-middle class is people making ~$200k/year.
A lot of people have moved from middle class to upper middle class over the last decade. Both those categories are outside the 1%.

> It takes maybe 5 minutes to wash up dishes 5 minutes of most sinks running is 10 gallons of water. (Most kitchen sinks are 2 gallons per minute). > Dishwashers let you accumulate dirty dishes for a day or two which is the real advantage in water savings. I agree. If you aren't filling the dishwasher then you are probably wasting water. However, a full dishwasher is going to be a real water/energy saver. Especially…
Who runs the water constantly? I don't. I put a stopper in the drain, get some hot water in the sink, then turn the water off. Wash everything, give it all a quick rinse, then dry.
My wife and her family :D. Water conservation mentality is a battle.

Sounds plausible? Even a company with 100 employees and few growth prospects is likely to have a couple of executives, and most companies are small.

It is significantly less productive to hand wash dishes. But that’s fine to do manually if you wish for something that takes up maybe half an hour of your own time every several days. It’s not fine if washing dishes is your job. No company is going to hire an artisanal dish hand washer that refuses to use a dishwasher.
My parents (and many boomers in general) manually wash dishes and then still put them in the dishwasher. It is significantly less productive to do both, and yet…
Cool stuff. would be nice to have a color blind mode. I literally can't distinguish the red from green in this visualization.
Curious as someone that doesn't experience the issue but assumes that your system Accessibility settings, maybe high-contrast, would be useful instead of expecting individual sites to tailor their color palette... does that not work?

Then why are wealth inequalities exploding? Why are we just about to witness the first trillionaire? Because no matter what fairy tales you want to believe in your $20 "invested" in palantir won't make you a "shareholder" lmao
