    Those survey numbers don't surprise me a bit. However, keep in mind that there is a difference between 'median' income, and 'average' income. The PayScale survey results show a 'median' dancer income of $45 per hour, meaning that half of the dancers surveyed earned more than $45 per hour but half earned less. Also this is stated in hourly terms not weekly or annual terms, thus is easily skewed by dancers who only work the most lucrative one or two nights per week. And undoubtedly some 'inclusion bias' is present in the PayScale study because most of the data was more than likely gathered from big city clubs ( and more than likely NOT gathered from suburban clubs ) based on simple logistics.

    My greatest concern when data such as this Dancer Income Survey is published is that the IRS pays attention to such publications !!! Seeing a published figure of $45 per hour from a respected source, but also seeing tax returns from dancers claiming apparently far lower income amounts, could definitely leave IRS managers with the distinct impression that exotic dancers are systematically under-reporting their actual incomes. And as a result of the new ObamaCare law, the IRS now has hired 16,000 new auditors who are looking for 'assignments'.
