They don't. They usually take the average of all working men and average of all working women. Some go with not just working but "of working age".


Do they usually use average instead of median? That terribly skews the numbers with the top 0.2% being weighted much more highly than the bottom 99.8%.

The gender distribution for the top 0.2% doesn't matter since most men and women will never reach that income.
