Apparently I'm more well off than I thought. I never thought my annual wages were anything to write home about but I look at that chart and about 30% of the people in this country that work for a living make more than I do. To me that's kinda sad.

I'm not sure if it still is but the household(2-3 peoples) median income was around 45k-50k in this country

the cost of living in the majority of this country is low but not that low

I would have figured that's with a stay at home mom and a kid but that's likely damn near with 2 workers.

I believe that's a two income household. I haven't read about it in awhile. It's honestly grim.

Parents The labor force participation rate--the percent of the population working or looking for work--for all women with children under age 18 was 69.9 percent in 2015. The participation rate for married mothers (67.6 percent) remained lower than the rate for mothers with other marital statuses (74.8 percent).

My grandpa and his brothers sustained children and wives by working full-time from driving trucks, working the railroad, and longshore man(they make good money even now but brehs do not want to get their nails dirty and are too :flabbynsick:) and juggling odd jobs s boot legging liquor and anything else. Their kids went to trade school/college and are home and land owners. Americans are not really skilled and even our degreed people are half retards compared to other nationalities. And most are lazy and myopic. Less than 1/4 can't even speak a second language, which is pathetic. We used to be creative and innovative but the current educational system has killed that.
