I tried. Page would not load for me so I made some assumptions.

Not going to lie - I have it too easy. Which is why I am happy that the hard working folks of Walmart made more.

Agreed, but salaries are just a product of margins and skillset, not effort expended.

In a specialized industry like software or biopharmaceuticals, companies are expected to have very high margins (think $500k-1m in revenue per employee).

Given that the pipeline for these industries is constricted due to skill requirements, that's why salaries tend to be much higher.
