Using data from:

Which says it copy-n-pasted the data from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) page:
http://graphicsweb.wsj.com/documents/NILF1111/#term=

And at the bottom of the WSJ page they reference the 
Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce
And here is their study, which produced the data:

Some random comments...

Data is somewhat explained here:
http://simplystatistics.tumblr.com/post/12599452125/expected-salary-by-major

Based on this page http://graphicsweb.wsj.com/documents/NILF1111/#term=
I assume this data is based on the 2010 Census, and the salary numbers
are for "during the course of their careers" (ie, not starting salary).

Someone in a blog comment (http://simplystatistics.tumblr.com/post/12599452125/expected-salary-by-major) said...
"The data are from 25 to 64 year old respondents who responded to the 
American Community Survey. You can find out more in the methodological 
appendix: http://www9.georgetown.edu/grad/gppi/hpi/cew/pdfs/majorsmethodology.pdf"

Here's his (the person who posted the comment) description of the data:
