Young people appear to think they should become internet billionaires overnight. Delusional, narcissistic.
Well of course, they’ve been taught that if owners won’t pay
you $75k per year, they are evil purveyors of and proof CRT
is real.
Talk about a lost generation, at least in part...
Good luck with that! Or Welcome to MacDonalds’. You have no experience, studied Wokeism and sexual habits of the Australian Wombat, and you dress like shitz. BOHICA. Here’s a one person tent to live in while you contemplate paying off your student loan. Loser.
$25/hour?
If it takes $75,000 a year for a company to fill a position, then the person making that $75k is earning the market rate.
this is the wage inflation that Powell is willing to sacrifice the entire economy to inhibit.
Last thing on earth to go up and now under complete assault by the Fed.
Can’t make this stuff up.
*If one doubts it, there is plenty of material out there.
I was very skeptical but the material clearly delineates wage inflation is the target. ie recent headline-
“Powell puts US pay hikes at heart of Fed’s 2023 inflation” fight
It’s a poll and I doubt it’s has any validity.
“The average personal income in the U.S. is $63,214. The median income in the U.S. is $44,225. The average American annual real wage was $67,521 in 2020. The average U.S. household income is $87,864.”
The median income is $44k. Someone has been taking jobs less than $74k. A lot of someones. There are some high earners who skew the averages up.
Net pay around $4,568 per month
Rent $2,500
Gas and electric, $250
Renter Insurance, $75
Car payment, $400
Auto insurance, $125
Internet, $75
Mobile phone, $50
Health insurance, $250
Auto gas, $250
Food & Misc, $250
Water and sewer, $50
Garbage, $50
That's $4,325
And doesn't include entertainment, clothes, maintenance, and so much more. Yes, round numbers, but it is not pretty and doesn't leave much for savings, rainy-day fund, or retirement.
And now, they want everyone to buy an electric car. Yep, that Tesla will cost around $1,000 a month or more, which is not affordable. What do you give up?
Maybe the car, which saves payment, insurance, maintenance, and fuel? Ride a bike? In the wintery snow?
On January 2, I’m starting my first real job since I initially started dialysis 14 years ago. I’ll be making $29k-$34.5k not including benefits and before taxes.
You can bet I’m happy just to be a part of the working economy again.
Yeah, having a “job” sucks. It might work for the 30 year plan, but there are fewer and fewer 30 year jobs/careers anymore.
Bet their skills are mostly generating hot air...
Can anyone get to a methodology for the poll?
For some reason a link to the Fed survey won’t download for me.
“74k”
I never made that much for a year in my whole career.
Work is beneath them? Not enough Americans are starving yet. That’s all changing, as the WEF agenda continues apace.
What do you expect, when a gallon of milk costs $6?
Helloooooo? Having a lower-wage job, even if you need some assistance, is better than having all your sustenance be from government printy-money.
Enter the $45.00 Big Mac Combo...
Well.....some people are just going to have to modify their expectations.
This is BS. Their average TWOT is some jerk living in a blue metro.
$74K out most anywhere is riches beyond belief — unless you made the wiser decision and went the talented trade route like plumbing, electrician, etc.
