[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for a lawyer is $128,000 per year. However, all the attorneys that post here seem to earn significantly more than that. I understand that salaries vary regionally, so presumably that $128,000 is being dragged down by lower-income areas. Additionally, I understand the bimodal distribution of attorney salaries, i.e. it’s not a bell curve (some earn a lot and some earn a relatively small amount). However, can you provide an example of DC/MD/VA attorneys that may earn $128,000 per year? What would they do? What type of firm would they work at? What about attorneys that earn *gasp* $95,000 (by definition, some must earn below the median)?[/quote] Median is different from mean, which is the average. So, half make less than the median.Likely, DC salaries drive-up the mean, but are not common[/quote]
