??? I am talking wages and you are talking per capita GDP. Gross domestic product isn’t median income per worker.
71% of UK families are dual income, 84% of US are.
Median UK salary (per person, not per household!) = 22,500 (pounds) or $43,600
Median US salary $32,000.
Guess I was wrong – the average British citizen makes only 50% more than their US counterparts.
We also work like dogs compared to them, have 2 weeks vacation (if lucky) – I think they get 8 weeks, etc.
Also – just to keep things real – the top 20% of US households got every dollar of wage appreciation since 1975. Thats right – the top 20% got all the money above 1975 levels.
Hard to find these general statistics on the internet – but GDP only shows how wealth the wealthy have become since Reagan and of course how much the gap has dramatically changed since George Bush and his thieving Republicans have had the keys.
