    American workers are now age 30 before they start earning $42,000, up from 26 years old in 1980.http://on.wsj.com/1hfhq1f

        @WSJ @MeganPanatier The data doesn't make sense. How is "worker" defined? 26-year-old women didn't earn US mean wages 33 years ago.

        @itsWanda @WSJ @MeganPanatier It sounds like average age of first earning median-wage income. So it's an average of the population.

        @Wikisteff @WSJ @MeganPanatier It's possible, but it still looks too high. My guess is they excluded women who didn't work full-time.

        @itsWanda @WSJ @MeganPanatier I think the tweet is deceptive; they're comparing median wage to median wage. Women make way more today.
