Well, kinda right? I think this may just be reflective of the long/fat tail of tech salaries.

The second column in that table shows how many people exceed the prevailing wage by 20% or more. In the case of Facebook, it's just 47.9%. And for Google and Amazon, it's 58 and 68 respectively.

Confusingly, they don't tell how many people exceed the prevailing wage at all.

Table 2 on Page 54 is even crazier.
