Original Note:
This tweet and video are fundamentally flawed. Average income is not an economic indicator because it doesn’t account for inequality. While there is no authoritative data on median income for 1933, the typical working class salary was about $800 ($18,500 in June 2023 dollars). https://www.ilo.org/public/libdoc/ilo/P/09602/09602(1933-28-3)364-371.pdf
