<<I have asked this question very often for decades now. And so far, not a single response has ever identified which jobs should be paid under median. Not once. Not ever.>>

That's because it is a nonsense question. The fact that nobody has answered it should be a clue.

There is no "should" involved.

You didn't read my post closely enough. If you did, you would have noticed that I pose this question to the people who say "XXX should be paid more". Because they start with the "should", I reply with the "should" in the other direction. Once in a while I get a flippant response "CEOs should get paid less than median", and the answer of course is that CEOs are 0.0001%, now find another 49.9999% that "should" be below median.
