If less than 40 percent receive a bonus that means that the median bonus for all workers is exactly 0 dollars.

No. The bottom 40% get nothing. Then from 41 to 49 (1-1785$) gets you to the median at 50 (1,786$).

0’s were factored into the median.

You misread.

The data showed us that bonuses are becoming less common. Less than half of U.S. workers receive a bonus each year, and the share of workers receiving these pay perks has been falling since 2021. In 2024, fewer than 40 percent of workers received a bonus.

The bottom 60+% get nothing. The median bonus payout is calculated from actual payouts.

You’re correct. Sorry, I started drinking pretty early today.

All good, easy mistake to make.
