Well there's non-wage income, and then there's income that is not wages. Things like medical benefits, pensions, waitstaff tips, medicaid/medicare checks, social security checks, veterans benefits checks, other entitlement checks, inheritances and eBay sales also figure into people's standard of living.
As a sole proprietor I can take income from my dying company which is not wages (which is still reported on a different IRS schedule). And I am just next to poor at this point, so I "count".
