What are you even talking about? The median yearly take home pay (sorry, don't know the right word for it) in my middle-of-the-pack EU country is around $16k.

Let me say that again, this country is in 35th place out of 193 by GDP per capita and this is how much people make here.

- noahtallen 4y agoYeah, my bad. My comment is very US-centric. At the same time, cost of living is likely much higher in the US, so that also makes a difference in the comparison. Anyways, median income in the US is near $50k/yr (around $1k/week: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf)
