A digital subscription is half that, and the salary you're quoting is well below the poverty line which makes me suspicious it's not really an average or it's a cherry picked example.
- icebraining 9y agoClearly the WSJ must be A/B testing, because the price I quote is what it shows to me: http://sufi.andreparames.com/wsj.png http://sufi.andreparames.com/wsj.png Are you sure you're not just looking at the promotional time-limited discount? Because yes, that's half that. But it only lasts a few months. As for the average salary, I do have to say it's after taxes (I didn't write "gross", but "base" might have been misleading, though it's how it's called here). The gross is 1154€/month. Yes, it's fucking low. This is why we emigrate a lot. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_... See the orange bit in the western part? By the way, "the poverty line" doesn't exist, each country has its own. Which are you referring to?
