First, arrange the salaries in ascending order: $117,000, $124,000, $139,000, $148,000, $166,000, $168,000, $207,000, $214,000, $218,000, $724,000. The median of an even number of terms is the average of the two middle terms, which are $166,000 and $168,000. Thus, the median salary is $(166,000 + 168,000) / 2 = $167,000.
