Average wage in the United States was $69,392 in 2020. [1] Median income per person in the U.S. was $42,800 in 2019. [2] The average is higher than the median because there are a small number of individuals with very high earnings, and a large number of individuals with relatively low earnings. (See Income inequality in the United States.)
