Is the average monthly salary really this high?

Recently, a report on the recruitment salary of enterprises in China has aroused widespread concern, showing that the national average monthly salary in the first quarter was1010/yuan, and Shanghai ranked first with a monthly salary of 13433 yuan. This data looks very attractive, but we need to analyze and think more deeply about it.

First of all, we need to be clear that the average value is not necessarily of reference value. In this report, we can't see the median and the mode, which can better reflect the real salary level. Therefore, we need more information to determine the practical significance of this average.

Secondly, this data is based on the data of the recruitment platform, and the data of the recruitment platform is often falsely reported and randomly filled. Although the platform may audit, this data is often higher than the actual quotation and salary given in the contract, and the credibility is very low. Therefore, we need more information to confirm the authenticity of these data.

Third, we need to consider the problem of sample size. This report does not specify how many positions and regions were investigated, what is the success rate of job hunting, how many people successfully applied for these positions, and so on. These are all unknowns. So the reference value of the data is very limited.

Fourth, we need to pay attention to the great differences in salaries in different industries, different positions and different regions. For example, the salary of the Internet industry is often higher than that of traditional industries, and the salary level of first-tier cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is relatively high. Therefore, it is of no practical significance to simply talk about the average wage without classified discussion.

To sum up, although the data in this report looks attractive, we need to analyze and think more deeply about it. The average value does not have a strong reference value, and the data of recruitment platforms are often unreliable. We need more information to confirm the authenticity of this data, and we also need to consider the salary differences in different industries, positions and regions.
