The previous KDnuggets Poll asked data miners from Europe, Asia, and Pacific Rim countries about their status, if student or unemployed, or salary (in thousands of US $), if employed. The results show approximately normal distribution, with a median income around 50,000, significantly less than for US data miners. There were few high-income data miners. However, there were also fewer unemployed than in US.
