In case you haven't seen this, it is definitely worth the download http://www.tableausoftware.com/public//.  Best visualization program I have ever seen.  It is going to change the way we think of data. 
 
 
Cheers!

Robin, this is fantastic!

Do you know how it compares to Many Eyes? http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/ The style looks similar.

My guess is that manyeyes USES Tableau as the underlying software to produce its visualizations.  Tableau is what Google uses also.  Tableau is what makes it happen.  Now it is available for free for anyone to use on their blogs.  I have a friend who works for Tableau in Seattle.

Ah, it makes sense! Can you ask your friend (and/or other colleagues) to give us an overview of what Tableau does for the webinar series?

We are #7 (and we are instrumental in #1, #2, #3,#4, and #5). Hooray.

Interesting stuff! The spam filter got angry, Linda. I think the word "profit" automatically triggers it. It's a great metaphor waiting to happen.

I wonder if this data includes self-employed people and business owners. Actually, I am pretty sure it does not. It would be interesting to compare overall income, rather than salaries. And then differences in adjusted income with parents, because some people try to use college degree as a way to escape family poverty. Some degrees must work better than others.

This data also assumes terminal undergraduate degree, I bet. No doctors or lawyers there.

"Bill Gates walks into a bar and on the average, everybody becomes a millionaire."

Gates is not in that statistics, though.

Thanks Maria for intervening.

Yes – I too was wondering at the exact way the poll was conducted and based on what data.

I would assume teachers of mathematics are definitely not included in the “high salary” list. :)

Interesting from many mathematical view points.
