Does only counting the wages of workers make the median less meaningful? For instance raising the workers' median wage could be accomplished by firing all the lowest earners. If non-workers' personal income ($0) in the 80s were included in the calculation the overall median would have been lower. Also, there's roughly 9% unemployment in the U.S. today; what would happen to the median if half of those people got minimum-wage jobs today?
