Yeah there are a couple of metrics. The main two are the median salary of all adults which includes a lot of people not in the workforce (zero wage) and then the median salary for anyone "employed" (working any hours) which would be higher.

Dunno what the latest number are but at a guess mid 50s looks like the total median and 80ish is the median of job holders

(.median is used because mean is skewed by outliers like billionaires. Median means half of the people measured are below and half above)
