Median income for full time workers is about $60k.

Median numbers do look a lot better when you remove 60% of below median earning workers, who would have thought.

Where's this coming from? (I'm probably just blind, sorry)

I thought it was just a meaningful statistic but your comment suggests people are finding it misleading.
Perhaps a more relatable metric: This means the median wage for a full time worker in the us is about $30/hr.
Again, "full time workers" likely includes more professionals who earn a higher wages than the part time group, which includes fewer professionals.
