minus-square@MaggotylinkEnglish20•1 year agoIt’s worse than the headline says. The study set 71k as the average US income for a single person… Which is the official household number. The actual single income average is 50-60k.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoThis still seems high to me, damn. In my town average household income is 30k lol. Even surrounding “nice” towns aren’t that much higher I guess there’s places where people must make so much money
minus-square@MaggotylinkEnglish2•1 year agoOh definitely these are national numbers. Even just state by state starts to vary a lot
minus-square@SendMePhotoslinkEnglish2•1 year agoThe heck? A ton of my friends are making like 40k… I guess they’re still within the bell average.
minus-square@MaggotylinkEnglish2•1 year agoOh that’s the fun part. Everyone discusses mean and median. Mode is in the 35-40 range last I tracked it down. (it wasn’t easy to find and I have my theories about why)
