New York is not a Midwestern town. the median salary in NY is 67k.
New York itself has ~700 000 workers, so 300k making 30k more than the median knowing they are all more educated than the average is perfectly normal.
Unions provide an advantage even when everyone is in an union. Again, see the multiple countries that have almost full unionization. There is such a thing as the wage share, and there are many other advantages of being able to have a democratic input on your workplace.
- CryptoPunk 5y ago>>New York itself has ~700 000 workers, so 300k making 30k more than the median Which is significant, given New York has 300,000 public sector workers. The median would be much lower if you excluded them when calculating the median income. They're the dominant political faction, voting in governments that give them more tax dollars. >>Unions provide an advantage even when everyone is in an union. Again, see the multiple countries that have almost full unionization. What advantage are you talking about? Anemic wage growth? Public sector pensions that threaten to bankrupt the state? Industrial sectors that are steadily being eclipsed by East Asian economies?
