Website and analysis code for AMEND, the Archive of Massachusetts Environmental Data
The Social Security Administration publishes an Average Wage Index (AWI), based on nationwide averages of net compensation, which we use to correct salary data for inflation. When data is not yet available for recent years, we assume no inflation (AWI same as previous year).
In addition to including it in the integrated AMEND Database, we provide our archive of this data in CSV format as accessed on 2023-02-03.
