how come the average gross is so high
i am only earning 2800 gross a mth
orh ****

[ukey]

probably because there are many new degree holders in the market, plus income are also increasing??

my take is, no matter what u earn, save at least 10%...and invest them correctly...to generate more income for you.....or at least invest in your financial education usin the 10% to earn more passive income....

Does this set of statistics include CPF contributions?

Does it also show the median monthly salary of sg employees?

Using just the mean (aka average) only may show a skewed result if only a handful earning very high pay while the rest are very low.

The statistics is slightly biased upwards since it is based on employees with CPF. Those part-time workers who don't get CPF are not included.

[yellow_pen]

what about those who are in the MLM business where they claim they can earn a 5-figure sum per month? Does it count in this survey? hahaha

[tellim]

always heard alot ppl earn so much and so much but i wonder how true in general population.

[D.ster]

i think it is just an average. Thats why the richer ppl's salary can offset the poorer's

[littleprincey]

always heard alot ppl earn so much and so much but i wonder how true in general population.

Remember the top 1% of the population are millionaires with at least 1 million USD in liquidity.

top 10% is earning at least $10k a month

these are all facts
