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.
it makes no sense to me. I read an unrelated article that claimed 80 million Americans (1/4 of the pop) were low-income. So who’s paying these kind of wages? Must be big city with a minimum masters’ degree?
You are correct....polls don’t reflect reality in 99-percent of cases.
Real inflation has also approached 25% per year for the last couple of years.
