GDP per capita in current US dollars at market exchange rates (World Bank). Not comparable with the wage figures on this site, which are converted at purchasing power parity.

How to read this figure

GDP divided by population, in current US dollars converted at market exchange rates (World Bank). A rough prosperity yardstick — it says nothing about distribution, and exchange rates swing it year to year. Do not read it against the wage figures on this site: those are converted at purchasing power parity, which is a different dollar, so the gap between them is partly just the conversion.
