Help me understand what point this headline is trying to make. Perhaps I am obtuse, but it isn't on purpose.
Is the median pay too high or too low? If we think pay is too high, have we considered that in, say, Lakeville, MN I can get 5 acres and a 4 bedroom house for 350-400k? I don't think I could afford that and childcare on 240k if I worked at Facebook, but I don't know that.
If too low, what should it be?
It feels like this article and similar are trying to make a point based on numbers that look high nationally but aren't locally.

Or is it just an interesting factoid?
