Just to add one more thought....

Wages are only one part of total compensation - so one would have to normalize the data to account for non-wage compensation.

Examples of non-wage compensation are the well known health and retirement benefits, but also items such as flexibility of work schedule, expectation of the stability and longevity of the job, and the pleasantness of the work environment.

Example: I good friend of mine demanded and received a 20% increase in pay to work for a notoriously arrogant and obnoxious boss - same job duties as before.
