    Sounds like the median calc is done after billioares are removed

    There are only about 1000 of them so not really sure what that does in labour market of 160m lol

      If you use median, removing or not of 1000 people from a pool of millions indeed has zero impact. My guess is that they worded it like that because they assume people don’t knownwhat a median is, so they describe the practical effect
