According to this site,[0] the median income in US and Norway was $24K-ish in 2021 (2019 numbers for Norway), while this Wikipedia article[1] lists countries based on average annual working hours (OECD, 2022).
Based on this, we can deduce that:
* Americans are paid $13.3/hour
* Norwegians are paid $16.9/hour
It's worth noting that even though Norway doesn't have a "general" minimum wage, except for some jobs, it's considered to be $21/hour.

Not sure how that compares to the us numbers.
I think most people understand that if you add two people's median income, you'll end up with approx. the double. :)
Let's say 90% of men in the US and Norway worked full-time and 80% of women in Norway and 60% in the US worked full-time (or vice-versa) - the various subsets of medians (individual vs families) might not be sensible to compare.
