National Averages. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average salary for all Americans was $51,017 in 2012, down very slightly from 2011's mean of $51,100. That is still 8.7 percent below the average salary in 2007.

To put things in perspective, the U.S. has a mean monthly income of $4,240 according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Take a look at which Europeans are on a par with that.
