The national average wage index (AWI) is based on compensation (wages, tips, and the like) subject to Federal income taxes, as reported by employers on Forms W-2. Beginning with the AWI for 1991, compensation includes contributions to deferred compensation plans, but excludes certain distributions from plans where the distributions are included in the reported compensation subject to income taxes. We call the result of including contributions, and excluding certain distributions, net compensation. The table below summarizes the components of net compensation for 1991.
Very easy to change dates.

In 1991 my income was $51,298.00 which sounds really poor today but wasn't that bad 33 years ago.
Was I in the top 5%? Really? That has to be wrong.
In 2022 you had to earn at between $160,000.00 — $164,999.99 to be in the top 5%.
In 2022 was was in the top 20% but I didn't have a job.
Check it out, most interesting.
