Median income was $31,133 in 2019, according to the Census.

Hence my point.

Edit for the response below: Median income is not the same as median household income.

Edit for the edited response: Sure, median wage in real terms is $35k, a whole 4k more annually.

Keep in mind though that 85.8 percent of males and 66.5 percent of females work more than 40 hours per week; "the most overworked developed nation in the world". That's not out of choice, that's out of fear, propaganda and necessity.
