Indeed the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average salary for U.S. workers has fallen from $44,570 to $35,410 since 2001

It would be nice to know if this is the "mean" or "median".

it is neither, it is a lie. I looked at BLS.gov data, and there have been slow wages increases since 2001, not a 20% decline.
