    Good question… not sure.

    The median average salary for all workers (full-time, part-time, male and female) in the UK in 2023 was £29,669 (£27,756 in 2022 and £25,971 in 2021).

    The mean average salary for all workers (full-time, part-time, male and female) in the UK in 2023 was £35,404 (£33,402 in 2022 and £31,447 in 2021).

    £29,669 = $37,678.44 USD

    I’m getting conflicting info for the US.

    This site says $40,480 in the US in 2022.

    This site says $74,580.

    Aha, I see… PERSONAL income vs. HOUSEHOLD income.

    Median home price in the US is $433,588:

      Yep peraonal v household.

      Not sure what UK household is but looks like personal is within deviation and so is individual.

      So we are getting fucked about the same. Canadians overlords appear to hate them more tho
