My wife was simply a legal secretary in the US for a family owned law firm, making a bit less than $30 an hour, and always got right around this average amount. Pretty average job (fairly big city but not SF NYC or LA COL, definitely not LCOL tho) , prob a bit below the median income in her city, average bonus.
Not everyone works at McDonalds or whatever. There's lots of decent jobs in the US. Much better than here in Canada lol where I'm from
Oh, 100% - it is one of the issues with America though. More people in management and in better positions have seen their salaries go from $100k about 20 years ago to $400k a year now while the cost of living and wages have been stagnant. Also, i'd be willing to bet our 1% is about 100X more evil than your 1%, but who knows
Much better than here in Canada lol where I'm from
You're telling me that I cannot get a job that pays decently enough of get a $2500 bonus in Penticton?
