Thanks. Are those numbers inflation adjusted? 'Cause if they aren't, and given an average 4% per year rate of inflation, they show that adjusted for inflation wages have gone down.

Average is a meaningless stat, because those at the stop skew the entire scale, the more meningful stat is the medain wage people make.
