If the average salary in the USA is $50,000 - then the highest salary
should be $100,000 - that is pretty much the definition of 'average'

I just thought of something - if salaries follow a bell curve of some
sort - like height and weight and IQ etc - and if $50,000 is the
average salary - and 190 million USAers make $50,000 - then we should
be able to calculate the max salary - and we should be able to
calculate how many people will make the max salary - all of this will
be defined by the bell curve

bell curve = 66% within 1 standard deviation - 99% within 3 standard
deviations - something like that
