Problems with Expected Earning
The quantiles of ExpectedEarning for India are something like this:
| 0% | 25% | 50% | 75% | 100% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6000.0 | 13811.5 | 35500.0 | 70000.0 | 200000.0 |
35,500 dollars is Rs 2,369,090, this is an insanely high figure for India.
PS the data for United States Of America seems to pretty legible hence I have raised this issue to get more clarity
@aashrairavooru are you pointing out particular data points from India that appear to be outliers? Or are you saying that the currency conversion between countries is an unequal representation of what people could actually make? It's unclear to me what the exact issue is. Please elaborate on the problem with expected earnings. Thanks!

@aashrairavooru ah I see. Yes, the conversion does seem unequal. This question is about "Expected Earning" so it doesn't have to be what they actually make. Plus, this question asked for earnings in terms of US dollars. Nonetheless, this is survey data (i.e. observational and self-reported) so interpret the data cautiously.
