Wow! They were making $54k.
That is likely because half of “US” workers are illegals or here with work permits after arriving illegally.
This is a desired outcome by TPTB
The middle class is dangerous and the only class that could atually fight the elites and have a real chance at winning
Notice how quickly Democrats took a booming economy and with the help of the communist Chinese and a virus squashed it like a bug, then stomped the bug once they stole the election. They are out to destroy America and also replace Americans. I viewed a video about them secretly transporting illegal aliens all around the USA, and you can check it out in crawler link top of page at Whatfinger News.

In Oregon I see help wanted signs at nearly every retailer advertising salaries starting at $15/hour. That is like $62,000 annually for a couple. I have seen articles, which make the point that COVID additions to unemployment keep people from applying.
I guess I think something is missing.
The author has made a calculation -- based on ? -- that the median American income is now some $34,000 compared to sometime in the past because of inflation.
This is why so many Americans support socialism. Fewer and fewer believe that they can get ahead like their parents did
