A follow up on my previous posts on Housing prices in terms of gold and Household debt in terms of gold. In this post I will look at average income expressed in gold.

I'm using statistics for all white-collar workers in Sweden, working for private companies or government sector.

In 2016 the average income was 121 grams of gold per month. A decline from 300 grams of gold per month in 2000 and 2004.
Average US income in gold
I found an article from 2012 on US income in gold where they calculate US income in gold for the years 1955 - 2010. In this article it can be seen that average income was also in US decreasing during the preiod 2000 - 2010.
