    Yea it’s just older people in power who think that money is worth what it was worth in the 70’s lol.

    eeeh .. I don't think it's that..

    I think there is a generational gap just about in every western country .. my grandparents were able to make a lot more money a lot easier that it is today because back then, at least in austria, s*** wasn't as regulated so you could do crazy money with certain s*** .. so because they are disconnected to todays generation they dont understand why our generation can't do the same anymore

    When you get checked by the real world, it’s gonna be extra rough with an attitude like that...

    But I’m assuming your products didn’t go up in price. If you can be a king with 50k I’m assuming salary and everything stayed the same.
    Here in the US everything went up in price but salaries stayed the same or barely went up.

    They definitely have the money to pay their workers more thats not an issue

    But the rich want to keep the same profit margins. If Amazon had to pay their employees $40 or whatever I think they would logically raise their prices accordingly since theyre greedy f***s and other businesses would copy. You cant expect corporations to just willingly accept lower profits, they're scum who want to exploit people as much as possible

    Notably, it isn’t just those in the middle who’ve been hit. RAND found that full-time, prime-age workers in the 25th percentile of the U.S. income distribution would be making $61,000 instead of $33,000 had everyone’s earnings from 1975 to 2018 expanded roughly in line with gross domestic product, as they did during the 1950s and ’60s.

    Workers in the 75th percentile would be at $126,000 instead of $81,000. Remarkably, even those in the 90th percentile would be better off than they are now if economic growth had been shared as it was in the post-war era. They’d be making $168,000 rather than $133,000.

    Tally it all up, according to RAND, and the bottom 90% of American workers would be bringing home an additional $2.5 trillion in total annual income if economic gains were as equitably divided as they’d been in the past—leading Rolf to dub the phenomenon “the $2.5 trillion theft.”

    Idk how they kept the whole “40k-80k is middle class, 100k+ is upper class” gimmick going this long.
    Unless your making at least 70k you can’t live anywhere near secure.

    100k would be the very high end. But I know a girl who just started working for a unionized hospital last fall and she’s getting 93k salary before OT

    Base pay for a new grad if you go salary is probably gonna be between 75-90k more often than not. But it’s better to find a job paying hourly

    Ofc it depends on where you graduated from, experience, recommendations, nepotism, etc. But if an RN told they were getting less than 80k working in nyc then I’d say they’re getting finessed

    Yeah 75-80ish for new grad is standard here, you just made it seem like majority of people were making 100k base pay as a new grad

    And f*** the ratios in ny, id rather make 5k less in california but have state mandated ratios

    You said its a gimmick that 70k is the least to be secure.

    My response is that it isnt a gimmick, its just facts that if you're low class or not at the top of middle you will always struggle to whatever degree.

    Middle class doesnt automatically mean secure. Its just the minimum.

    Not hard to understand.

    Middle class was meant to be secure lol. That’s suppose to be the average American. That’s why some people where lower class or lower middle class.
    Middle class meant burbs with a secure pay and vacations every year.
