The median full-time income in the US - which is a much more applicable reference point - is around $55,000.
- tomrod 4y agoI believe that's household income. Quick google shows census reporting median income at ~31k
- giantg2 4y agoSource? I thought it was $42k a year or two ago, but haven't looked since, and I don't remember if it was strictly full-time.
- smugma 4y agoAsking "source" and saying what you thought it was doesn't contribute to the conversation. Searching Google for "median full time income" pops up $51,480 in bold. The next link is to the BLS (US Bureau of Labor Statistics): https://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkyeng.t01.htm https://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkyeng.t01.htm For Q3'22, it was $1,068/wk, or $55,536/yr.
