Also, if the past way of doing this calculation has stayed the same a whole swath of the lowest income earners are deleted first.i....fi one can still download the raw data freely and do your own sums based on it without fear or favour so incorporating those left out of the equation it may be in truth much lower than the 48K stated if the past is anything to go by..and it probably is.
Actually in the past they rationalised/deleted first both the outlier top earners and the far greater in number lowest earners then averaged only the resulting range.
