It's easily gamed by contracting out for lower paid workers. What if Facebook came in at highest median pay because it relies more on contractors than other companies?

The data would be a bit more useful if they reported the job title of the median worker.

I was thinking more about this applying to all adult citizens of a country and not any particular corporation...

Easy gaming like that is easy to anticipate and account for. You just have to define "workers for the company" in a way that includes contractors and controlled entities, etc.
