Edit: I said that based on this. I think the Wikipedia link is about wages specifically (e.g. it counts only full-time employees), not about income in general?
Not only is that data from 2013, but it makes no sense. Why would you include people who don’t make income (children, retirees, unemployed) in an income measurement?
It’s like looking up safety statistics on cars and finding out their diluted with people who don’t own cars, broken cars that don’t run, etc. Only working cars that drive should be included.
so, like, the median income in Germany?

No? Germany is 3x that amount:

That’s only for full-time employees, I believe. I edited the comment to add the source I was looking at :)
