It's normally worded "the average American makes $x a year." Who is the average American? That should actually be worded "the average American salary is $x." That's actually what's being discussed. Assuming we continue the same trend in language, the OP is correct. You're also correct, but they're saying the same thing as you, just with the poor word choice from the other things.
