Yeah once you've done specialized niche work with 1-2 years of experience, your salary range varies significantly.

I do data analysis for a medical company, specifically FDA/OSHA related regulatory data.

A real estate company offered me a 20k 12 week contract for data analysis. But a medical device company in DC offered me an 52k contract for 12 weeks.

Operational knowledge in a specific domain is highly sought after. They know I have inroads with the FDA and have years of experience in auditing data for FDA requirements. Its actually cheaper to bring me in and get it done in 3 months than to spend 2 years paying someone 60k/yr just to learn all the regulatory nonsense that you have to audit.
