		dougb5 on March 29, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Top Paid LA Lifeguards Earned Up to $392k in 2019 It would be good to know the median compensation for the lifeguards instead of just some outliers. Focusing on the highest paid earners gives readers a false sense of the distribution. Imagine a similar article that listed the top incomes of FAANG employees!

Public vs private funds. If you told me some private resort with $800/night rooms paid their lifeguards this much, I would think nothing of it.
