They should use median, not average. Average is inflated by the skew to very high income earners. Average should only be used for "normal" data distributions. In August 2024: Median employee earnings in main job was $1,396 per week, up $96 (7.4%) since August 2023.

Yeah I thought the average salary being $100k/year was a bit high

I make not quite that in a fortnight - no, I can't afford a house on my own, let alone my family all in min wage jobs The ABS is a fucking joke, this'll be used by the Oz, the Fin as proof lower income workers don't need a raise because we're apparently taking it in

What's the median, you cowards??? WHAT'S THE MEDIAN INCOME, YOU CRAVEN-HEARTED LIARS?!?!?!? If you take out the billionaires and millionaires, it's so much less. I earn about $2,300 after taxes per MONTH. Fuck your adjustments.

Take out the earnings of millionaires like Gina Rineheart and watch how quickly that figure falls. I don't know anyone earning anywhere near that much.
