- akomtu 5y agoThat's shrinkflation of middle class, basically. At this pace, middle class in 50s will be your own tent under a good bridge.
- chrisseaton 5y agoIt's funny - in the UK I think we'd say the middle class is getting smaller but the standard is staying the same, while in the US you look at it as the middle class stays the same size but the standard falls. Different approach to social statistics!
- brewdad 5y agoDepends on where you live. Minimum wage workers make ~$30k a year near me. Well north of that if the are tipped since min wage is the same for tipped and untipped workers. I would never consider minimum wage middle class.
