Many of these grads could have started successful businesses, and no longer fall into this income category as I believe that data is only for employment income.
There are just too many factors to consider... We definitely cannot interpolate the data like that.

As a ballpark figure, the analysis still makes a lot of sense to refute the claim that majority of grad earns more than $10K/month after 10 years. What you have cited above cannot explain why only 9% makes more than 10K.
Even if 20% of the 20% are woman who drop out, migrated or start own business, than is only 4%. And if most of the remaining 16% earns more than 10K, 80% of 16% will still works out to 13%, still way higher than the 9% which will include non-grad.
For Grad who chose not to earn more than 10K, it is quite an invalid point.
