[open-economics] [getthedata.org] New question: Average wages worldwide on Get the Data

[Rufus Pollock]

Just saw this question posted on GetTheData which people may be able to answer:

<http://getthedata.org/questions/602/average-wages-worldwide>

<quote>
I'm looking for a list of the average annual wage in as many countries
as possible. Importantly, I'm looking for figures that are NOT
adjusted, using PPP or converted into international dollars, or
anything like that. This is because I'm not looking to directly
compare these figures - they will be used feed into a larger piece of
research on tax rates worldwide, and I want to know the income tax
rate paid by the average earner in each country.

I have seen the wikipedia (Eurostat) and OECD tables, which aren't
very useful for the above reasons

PS: is there anyone on list who'd volunteer to act as a GetTheData
"editor" for economics related stuff?
