GP mentioned 'distribution', so I guess they're looking at the distribution charts further down (under 'pay gap') and not the 'average salary's chart.

Hmm that chart is also pretty weird. What is any one salary on this chart averaged over? States? Years?

You don't need to calculate any averages to plot a distribution.

Indeed. Yet, this graph shows the distribution of averages. See the x-axis. I didn't want to be so blunt, but due to its shoddy presentation, I cannot trust what this page is showing.
