The average UK salary is now £31,290 per the average US salary is $36,764. Does this worry you?

Just doing some research today and came across these statistics. Factoring in the exchange rate UK average salary is 64,538.86 or UK residents make $27,774.86 more than the average US citizen. I think it's time we do something about our weak dollar or the USA consumer is going to get hammered.
