Hi Paul,
I don't have a good answer to your request, but you might find something
looking around the US Department of Labor's site: "Overview of BLS Wage
Data by Area and Occupation" (BLS = Bureau of Labor Statistics).
http://www.bls.gov/bls/blswage.htm
A quick glance doesn't show me "education" associated with these data,
but I am not looking hard. Most of the rest of the information you want
appears to be present.
Regards,
Mark Dalphin

I'm sorry for the way OT post, but here goes. I'm an informatics
specialist, and R user. My wife is a secondary school maths teacher.
My wife recently tried to explain to her class the link between
education and potential salary, and I would love to be able to show
this graphically, however, I cannot find any freely available data for
this. Does anyone know of a suitable dataset, or where I might find
one ?Ideally salary, maximum education level, age, sex, industry and
some form of geographic location would be amazing. Alternatively, are
you aware of any public organisations that would have this information
and might divulge it under the freedom of information act ?
Thanks in advance
Paul.
