Some money yes, but an average salary should work for all of them, no?
"Average" is a vague definition
neither vague nor a definition
average is the sum of a list of values divided by the size of the list.
No. If you're going to be pedantic, at least be right.
The term average, inherently refers to at least three different ways to calculate the central value in a data set. What you're talking about is mean, but it can also mean mode, or median, and there are other, even, more complicated calculations than those depending on your context.
So yes, average, is an inherently vague and hard to define term.

Idk, generally people mean the mean by average and the median by median, but I get your point. (But I think the term average salary can be ambiguous for other reasons, not disagreeing there.)
Average salary (that is, the mean) isn't that good of a metric even if you account for region, industry and so on, because just one outlier can easily skew your entire statistics. Median is much more useful in that regard.

I was under the impression mean and average were used interchangeably, but I'm not a native speaker.
What I meant was mean salary indeed. But median would probably be more adequate.
ooh look at you, so smart!
ohoho, thankyou ☺️
Not in America
For what of the list?
It also depends on the definition of each, but I mean in a basic sense.
