I thought it was just a meaningful statistic but your comment suggests people are finding it misleading.

Perhaps a more relatable metric: This means the median wage for a full time worker in the us is about $30/hr.

Again, "full time workers" likely includes more professionals who earn a higher wages than the part time group, which includes fewer professionals.
