Ashley Wu and friends :(
Probably to make sinkies feel good.

However don't people ask how come singstat data says median salary for degree holders across all age is around 7000+ yet ST data says all the jobs that require degree the same 7000+ is above top 25%?

Lol at the way they calculate median.

It is technically correct if using the entire dataset.

Of course they will include the part timers to bring down the median, so more sinkies feel good about themselves. 160 not 160 for nothing.

Lidat no need to show median, all jobs will have same median. Because there are only 16 income brackets.

Median should be the median of the total amount of people. Then select the income bracket of the median man.

Very nice guide and illustrations

The dataset from MOM so please take note that the monthly salary is defined as salary + bonus + allowance divided by 12 and exclude employer CPF contribution

Data & Methodology

Your input is benchmarked against the monthly gross wages of Singaporean and permanent resident full-time private sector employees in MOM’s Occupational Wages 2020 data. The data was collected from July to December 2020 and salaries might have risen since then.

Gross wage refers to the sum of basic wage - before deduction of employee CPF contribution and income tax - and other regular cash payments such as commission and overtime payment. It excludes employer CPF contribution, bonus, stock option and other lump sum payments.

The age group analysis is based on data on gross monthly income from work from MOM’s Labour Force in Singapore 2020 report
