My sister was a teller in the late 80’s and early 90’s and didn’t make anything near $36,000 per year.
I was a bank teller in the 80’s. I started at $13k and it was a big deal when I moved into the back office and after 5 years I hit 20k. This was in the DC area, which I would have thought would be higher
Agreed no bank teller was making 36k in 1980
Not even close
I can remember both my parents taxable income was 20k ish combined in the late 1980s and we had 4 kids. Mom was a secretary and dad was a navy Cot
Corpsman.
My mom had been a teller for years before her secretary gig, and she never made anything remotely close to 36k a year.
I walked out of college in 1994 with a degree in comp sci and the median wage for a comp sci degree was 38k
This poster is ignorant,
I will say that wages have declined in real dollars since the 70s. But no way in hell was a bank teller making 36k in 1980
The problem with these millennials and some of Gen Z, is they’re too stupid to realize government has caused all these problems and all this would be a moot point if government was reined in….the hard times would be so hard if we had a more limited role of federal government.
With that said, our industry is “scary” slow right now. God help us

36,000 for a bank teller. What BS.
A college friend who got advanced degrees in dance then went to work in the late 70s as a teller for $5.00 an hour. She is a boomer.
