Sure, I was arguing with someone about the US once so I have these sources saved.

Lower income wage gains in the US:

https://www.epi.org/publication/swa-wages-2023/

13.2% from 2019 to 2023

Median income (one of the charts if you scroll is median income per courtly adjusted for PPP)

https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/2024/06/society-at-a-gl...

Luxembourg is higher, but given they are a very strange city-state I feel like we can ignore them.


Thanks very much, very useful. I notice that the first wage link states:

"Wage rates remain insufficient for individuals and families working to make ends meet. Nowhere can a worker at the 10th percentile of the wage distribution earn enough to meet a basic family budget."

Which is probably a more pertinent fact to note?
