1. The survey always included the median
Israeli   (11.06.13)
The CBS surveys always included the median, but the journalist didn't knew how to read the report well. So the CBS changed the format of the report to emphasize the median. Now the journalists don't ignore the median.
2. This is the old socialist, communist trick of enslaving wom
Rivkah   (11.06.13)
women into working outside the home by lowering the wages of men so that women can have the victory of making as much in the workplace as men. But what actually happens is that women become ENSLAVED TO WORKING OUTSIDE THE HOME instead of a man being able to provide for his family with one income. The women have to then work outside the home, work in the home, and give the children during the day to the government which then indoctrinates the children to hate HaShem and to be spies on their parents.
3. Meaningnless Stats

"executives earn 2.9 times more per hour than unskilled laborers" Wow - there is a shock. In most countries unskilled laborers earn the same pay as executives. The median is meaningless because we have huge sectors who chose not to work or chose to work part time, etc... not to mention the fact that so much of the economy here is off of the books.
4. #3- the median is more important
(11.06.13)
The median is less sensitive to outsider populations as ultra-orthodox men and Arab women for one side and highly paid workers on the top of the High Tech industry from the other side. Because of that, the median is a much better measurement than the average in order to understand how much the ordinary Israeli earns.
