Some of these were very surprising to me:

Registered nurses at an annual mean salary of $151,640; nurse midwives at $162K.

PR managers and art directors both at ~$155K.

Airline pilots only slightly lower than CEOs ($243K vs $258K).

I'm guessing the last of these has to do with CEOs being paid mainly in equity, but the numbers were quite high for a number of kind of mundane jobs in both private and public sectors and across multiple industries.

Airline pilots not making good money don’t live in SF. Then your left with a tight distribution of pay. It’s more like $200k to $350k than the $0-$10m range of CEO.
