minus-square@SoylentBlake@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish9•1 year agoThis is misleading at best. If you subtract the largest 1000 earners in America the median income drops to $35,000. That’s all you need to know.
minus-squaresunzulinkfedilink4•edit-21 year ago35k is the old number, i think median for all worker is like 40k. If you narrow it down to full time etc, it is like 55k. Your point is still valid tho, I think these % are based on pre covid info. For example, 100k individual income would put you into top 15% right now. It would have been less pre covid.
