Mean and average are the same thing, is there a reason the article keeps using "mean average"?

It's because the data also includes the median, so I took care to distinguish. Although we often mean "mean" when we say "average" they're not interchangeable terms. |

Because 'Mean' and 'Average' are not the same thing. There are MULTIPLE kinds of 'Average' in statistics. 'Mean Average' is just one and it is the one you think of as simply 'Average' but it's not the only kind of average, so 'Mean Average' is being specific. |

Yeah, it's been well documented that most animators are underpaid, and you don't really make much until you become an animation director. It being animated by mostly people in their twenties is kinda surprising (I would assume there would be a somewhat even split between them and people in their thirties-forties). Good to see conditions have improved for older people though, and hopefully things improve for the younger ones too.

Median wage figures would give a better indication (that is for a specific group, half earn more than the median, half earn less than the median).
Average wage figures make the situation look better, whereas in fact the "average wage earner" is better off than the majority of the group. |
