Whoa, that 40->50k over 40 years stat seemed ridiculous to me so I looked it up and you're right. This strikes me as bizarre because in the UK, both prices and wages have blown through the roof over the same period. I wonder what the deal is here (though the USD-GBP rate was significantly different decades ago).

Those numbers are adjusted for inflation.
