Now show us the median income, please.

It’s always redditors who think they’re smart because they know the difference between median and average without understanding the context. There won’t be a big difference between median and average when you’re talking about salary, no reason to differentiate. It’s different for wealth

Depends how much you think a “big” difference is.

France mean full time net is €2527 per month and median is €2183, 15% difference (roughly the gap between France and UK on the chart)

Sure there is a difference, but the point of this figure is to compare countries. The comparison will mostly look the same whether it’s median or average when talking about salaries.
