NO,I am not "repeating what you said" at all. And what you are then making of my posts,is an hilarious shambles, a hodge-podge of GOD only knows what. ROTFLOL
The salaries I've posted,are AVERAGES for the entire USA. HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ? Do you understand what an "average" is? And some of those averaged salaries were for an entire decade.
Since I didn't post for centuries,you are making a wild assumptions.So here is a bit more factual info......
In the 1880s,rural doctors got 50 cents for a house call. City doctors got $3.00 - $6.00 per house call and saw more patients.
In 1888-1889 the rural school term lasted for only 12 weeks. A male teacher was paid $42.43 per month a female teacher was paid $38.14 per month ( both of these salaries are AVERAGES!) and both had to also do what today is considered to be janitorial duties as well. So,in 1888 an average teacher's salary was $127.29 for a man and $114.42 for a woman.
Fifty years later,teachers' average salaries were up to $1,367 per year and that's not only during the GREAT DEPRESSION,but after other depressions,recessions,and panics,which had already brought down salaries.
Yes, you did. You wanted to be so contentious that you didn't realize that you agreed with me when I stated the obvious, that wages increased; just not to a matching factor of prices. I gave the hypothetical of 220K. I calculated the percentages for you. And you just engaged in a typically liberal personal attack (see the Ann Coulter debate thread), and did not dispute the figures. But if you want the last word - have at it.
