This doesn't seem like a good representation, I think it has capital gains wrapped in.

This source looks like it takes just the wages people are being paid, and it goes from $4.44 an hour in 1979 to $20.03 in 2024.

I remember checking a year or two ago that the median worker earned around $45k, with a bunch of financial sleight-of-hand making up the dofference between this and the per capita GDP.
