Median income....BS

Don't know how they calculate those numbers
Maybe take CEO salaries and Government salaries and avg that out ???
It's BS to quote "median" rather than average.
The avg last year was $48,000 (or $23/hr). That's a heck of a lot less than $63K.
That would be the average wage for an indivdual, not a household. So a household with both spouses working and making that average US wage would make $96,000 a year, far over the US median household income.
according to the US Census Bureau
“Income in the Past 12 Months - Income of Households: This includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not.”

Median household income in 2018 was $63,179; that is for everyone in the household
Median individual income for 2019 has been reported at $40,100.
