- oytis 4y agoStatistics about average and median income in the US and EU is widely available. Also the graph linked above about disposable income shows that only in the lowest 10th percentile people in Europe are (marginally) richer that in the US. Starting with lower middle class the gap becomes quite significant already, and what's important is only growing.
