From scanning it, it looks reasonable. Of course there are some huge ranges, but the averages look about right.
That's the biggest load of crap I've seen in a long while. As it was conducted by HSBC it must have only centered on the Financial Industry.enginette wrote:Singapore is the place to be if you want to earn as much as possible as an expatriate worker, a new global survey has found.
Forty-five per cent of expats working in Singapore earn more than US$200,000 ($273,000), according to the Export Explorer Survey conducted by HSBC Bank, compared to the 21 per cent global average of expats earning incomes of above US$200,000.

If they were using the generally accepted definition of Expatriate, i.e. somebody living away from his homeland, then an overwhelming majority of Expats here would have earned below S$1000/month (S$12000/year): The large numbers of construction workers, industrial operators, waiters, bus drivers, maids, etc. are among these!enginette wrote:Singapore is the place to be if you want to earn as much as possible as an expatriate worker, a new global survey has found.

Even looking at the average and median income, one can tell of a slight skewed distribution from the sample size surveyed. Most of the median figures presented are much lower than the average counterparts.blogtowkay wrote:I think this is the updated top 100 average salaries of jobs in Singapore.

A distribution that is open at the top (the sky's the limit for salaries of a very few highflyers), but closed at the bottom (nobody can earn less than zero) almost always has a median (equal number of people earn below and above) lower than average (sum of all salaries divided by number of people).the lynx wrote:Even looking at the average and median income, one can tell of a slight skewed distribution from the sample size surveyed.

The more egalitarian the pay structure for the job, the less difference between median and average, as shown in some public service jobs in the table.
That some jobs show a median (slightly) higher than average must be a statistical anomaly. I'd question such results!
