median provides a more realistic and representative measure than average for this very reason (outliers).

Must be a hell of a lot of people earning SO much less than the median wage if the average wage excluding only 1000 out of ~335m is already significantly lower..

I wouldn't be surprised if half of Americans earned less than the median.
