But imagine what this did to Europeans...
Maybe they didnt poll from the right group? I just feel 80k is being very optimistic.

I had read such figures on various occasions before. the gap between the USA and the Europeans is widening immensely, not least because of the climate apocalypse we are celebrating so extensively

Depending on the choices made by the analyst, 77k is not far above what the Fed is reporting.

Fed reports a lot of bs. Over-inflating numbers and under-inflating numbers for their purpose.

But we have to deal with this bs

That's fine. My point is just that the first chart is right in line with other available data. If you find something counter to it, I'm sure we'd all be interested.

I think what was misleading on the first graph is that it isn't specific about what the number refers to.
That $54k is only drawn from wage earners. A lot of income in America comes from non-wage sources. That makes $54k a dramatic underestimate of income.
Another thing going on here is that taking the mean, rather than median, of income will give a fairly high seeming value because of the extreme high-earners in the distribution.
