Measuring incomes has become increasingly controversial as opposing hacks pick out what they want --and there's much to choose from. 

Employee wages are just part of the income picture.   By including more kinds of incomes we got the average U.S. after tax income at an all time high.  The problem is that people aren't seeing these big incomes and real median household incomes have been falling for 15 years.  On top of all this is the fact that politics is corrupting the data --those median numbers come from our impuned Census Br. while disposible income stats are from technocrat geeks at the BEA.
