Good eye. I have heard that Netflix pays particularly well, so that would make sense. Also I suppose if you worked on Hulu or any other online streaming platform it wouldn't fall in the same category so I wonder what other companies would fall under that category.
Finally, how do they derive those categories? NAICS codes?

It looks like BLS categories (they list BLS as a source too):

FYI, this is not a USA government web site, it is run by Deloitte and is republishing public domain US government data under an AGPLv3 license.
There's also https://datachile.io, a sister site built by the same team
Is it possible to get some of the data for personal projects? I'm not seeing and option to get data by csv (or anything really).
Curious to know if it's possible. I'm learning more about data viz this year and areas where you can get data easily is a God send.

All of the data sets are listed here:

The site loads super fast - definitely a plus these days.
Is there any site like this for environment related data - pollution, air quality, water quality etc?
It's not as nice as this, but Climate.gov has decent data

And AirNow is the EPA's site, there are datasets and real time APIs

A few points that struck me:
- income is a lot more evenly distributed than the US average.
- "Video tape & disk rental" is by far the highest paying sector. I guess that is all down to Netflix? "Taxi and limousine service" is in 4th place. That's Uber and Lyft?
