I linked to wealth statistics alongside income statistics, because I think it's a relevant data point.
I thought the distinction was fairly clear, but perhaps I should have emphasised it more?
- jdmichal 10y agoI thought it was a good point to bring up. Comparing raw income doesn't mean anything -- you need to at least take cost of living into account. 75k is barely livable in SF, but quite comfortable in the Midwest, etc. If Germans are making less but are worth more... There's interesting things going on that probably need to be taken into consideration in such a conversation.
