Can you provide the full narration? Not disputing, just find that interesting. Is the average wage something the state determines, or rather, is it the market sets based on the value of the work and supply/demand of available labour?

I could not find the book reference but it is well known tradition.
The Salary Of Abu Bakr As-Sadeeq (Radhi Allaahu ‘Anhu) As The First Khaleefah Of The Muslims
It Is Said That When أبو بكر الصديق - Abu Bakr AlSiddiq (Radhi Allaahu ‘Anhu) Became The First Khaleefah After The Death Of Rasool-Allaah (Sall-Allaahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam), The Issue Of Fixing The Salary Of The Newly Elected Khaleefah Arose.
Sayyidna Abū Bakr as-Siddiq (Radhi Allaahu ‘Anhu) Said, "I Will Take As Much Money As My Salary, As The Poorest Labour Of Medina Munawara Takes As His Minimum Daily Wage.
People Asked Abu Bakr as-Siddiq رضي الله عنه, Ya Ameer-ul-Mo'mineen, Don't You Think Taking A Salary As Low As That Of The Minimum Daily Wage Of The Poorest Labour Of Madina, Will Make It Difficult For You To Support Your Family? Surely, You Will Not Be Able To Support Your Family In Such Meager Salary?
Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (Radhi Allaahu ‘Anhu) Replied, I Will Support My Family In This Small Amount Of Money, Just Like The Way The Poorest Labour Of Medinah Supports His Family With That Deficient Salary.
People Asked, What If You Could Not Support Your Family In That Small Salary? Will You Increase Your Salary Then, In Order To Support Your Family?
Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (Radhi Allaahu ‘Anhu) Replied, No, I Will Then Increase The Minimum Daily Wage Of The Poorest Labour Of Medinah (In Order To Enable Him To Support His Family).
This Was Not The End, As Afterwards, Ameer-ul-Mo’mineen Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (Radhi Allaahu ‘Anhu) Returned All Money Which He Drew As His Salary, To The Bait-ul-Maal, While Breathing His Last.
In my understanding Islamic economic system is like the Scandinavian economic system. Threatened by Communism they gave many social benefits to the people to stem the ideas of revolution. Here is an example of pure Capitalism like in the US and its comparison with Denmark.I Love Allah, I Love Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), I Love Islam.
