Averages can be deceptive. 2 lawyers at $250k/yr and 8 supermarket cashiers @$25/yr will bring the average up to $90k/yr. A median would have been a better metric if the incomes are skewed towards the extremes which they are in the western world circa 2015.
You mean 70k is the average salary of those 10 people, if cashiers make 25k a year.
