I'm not that surprised. What is the median income in Calgary? I thought I saw somewhere that median household income was ~$90k/year. Don't know how that translates in to individual income.
Besides, I reckon the majority of CP posters are white collar workers with too much time on their hands at work. $74k/year is about what your base salary right out of school as an engineer working for a producer would be. Add in bonuses, more experience etc. and it's not that hard to believe that the oil industry is doing it's part to bring the average up of everyone else.
Really what I'm saying is: it's an anonymous poll - what's the point in lying?
