The low annual income of the typical american worker is disturbing

[JahFocus CS]

Yes cause elderly black grandmothers... or elderly blacks period are the primary beneficiaries of Social Security

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Yeah but you work a "normal job" paying you 50k. I'm assuming it's not a white colllar job. You work standard 7.5- 8hr days making 50k but pay 470 a month in rent? You must know someone.

That doesn't compute that you live in a city that can pay you 50k but only charge 470 a month in rent..

That shyt doesn't compute at all, B

Phoenix and Arizona in general are mad cheap like that. Im considering a pilgrimmage there or FL if not out of the country

 

[Futuristic Eskimo]

No free rides and shyt but let the government spend 2 trillion on a meaningless war. That kind of money could have made every person in this country a multi-millionare with plenty left over.

More like $6k a person, really

 

[THOT CATALOG]

To boot, nobody has savings. Even people making over 100k per year can't save shyt.

living way above your means <<<.

like i get it if you have kids, but if you're single or in a relationship with someone who understands finances, no excuse not to live under your means for a couple years and get a shyt load saved up for a rainy day / invest for the future.

The problem is low wage jobs require low skill which is why they pay low. We need to fix our school systems and guide children what they like and have talent to do from an early age...

Focus on trades, a trade is invaluable and creates worth. Working meaningless fast food, and retail jobs and begging for $15 an hour is fuccing ridiculous.

Wage Statistics for 2015
70% of the people that work in this country make less than $50,000 a year. Half the people that work in this country make less than $30,000 a year.

Something desperately needs to be done about income inequality. I'm not saying everyone should be millionaires but people should mostly at least be approaching $50,000 a year working full time.

Move to a socialist country breh

Companies are built off the backs of people working "low wage jobs."

Those jobs aren't meaningless. somebody has to do them. if you take a look at corporate structure usually the people that do the most work are paid the least.

I make what compares to 30,000 USD a year. Don't live in America though, and pay a tiny amount in tax (like 2-3%).

You have to create worth for yourself. Alot of these jobs were considered stepping stone jobs not careers.

or we can look at why the cost of living is artificially high and work to bring it down...


























@ people still chasing the mirage of equality

$50K is good money. Depending on where you live and how you live that is enough to retire on.

People worry bout the rawng thangs. If you took the top 1%'s income and gave it to the bottom 99%, everyone would get a whopping extra $5K a year. Negus need to stop pocket watching. If tax rates or employment laws are unfair that's one thing. But getting angry because someone makes more money than you is jealousy, plain and simple

Just because someone isn't breaking their back or on their feet all day doesn't mean they aren't working.

And pay is determined by the value you provide to a company, not how hard @winb83 from TheColi.com thinks you work compared to someone else.

Exactly. People always arugung about the wrong thing.

Lol why should someone need to make six figures to live normally in a city? And then factor in the amount of debt people take on to get the high earning salries they end up being no better than the people who dont make much money.
