Yes, not a lot of surprises.

A Harvard MBA's starting salary will definitely be higher than a graduate of University of Phoenix; most times.

Dentists and Physicians with their own practice have higher incomes.  I believe this data is for those who work for clinics and healthcare organizations such as hospitals respectively.

Interesting stats

Not suprsing at all in terms of the umemployment rate within various professions listed.  What is surprising is how little you would have to pay to potntially hire a lawyer an MBA or even a dentist.  Very low salary rate.  I assume the higher end is for the top 1% graduates.
