Those seem way lower than they should be. You can make more than half of what's listed in construction with zero student debt.

Yeah, this doesn't look right. Also, having STEM and Engineering as two separate categories is...interesting.

I also wish these would be adjusted in someway. Giving an average wage doesn’t really mean anything because you make in VHCOL area than some random place. It’d be nice to see like idk a salary / COL ratio or something. I guess comparing avg to avg is kinda not bad but I mean tech jobs for example i suspect would bias to urban locations and higher pay vs say idk being a someone involved in conservation.
