Of course, what always seems to be missing from these summary data is an indication of dispersion. Anybody want to hazard a guess on what Dr. Phil took in last year? My suspicion (unencumbered with facts) is that salaries in Psychology are highly skewed. If the underlying distributions are not normal then "average" salary may not mean very much depending on how the "average" was calculated.
