Is the Dow more overvalued than the FTSE?

I've compared the growth of the Dow and the FTSE with the increase in national annual average earnings in each country. As you see, the Dow has advanced much more rapidly.

UK earnings are calculated as 52* weekly wages. UK stats here, USA stats here. Dow and FTSE stats from the Yahoo! finance website - see sidebar.
