>Increasingly poor economic prospects" isn't true.
We've gone from the celebrated one-income households in the 1950s
to increasingly fewer jobs than people to fill them (beginning ~1972)
to 3-4 typical incomes necessary to support a household in my (formerly affordable) state.
Our long trend certainly seems to fit within a description of Increasingly Poor Economic Prospects
- throwaway2037 4y ago3-4 typical incomes necessary to support a household This makes no sense. It sounds like you are talking about California. No, it doesn't take 3-4 incomes to live a middle class life in California. Yes, it takes two.
- WarOnPrivacy 4y agoCalifornia has huge differences in living expenses so saying it takes # of typical incomes to survive would only be sensical in certain places. I live in FL. A bit over a generation ago, we could survive on one typical income but it was tight. It is now tight with 3 typical incomes and a home expense in the low-mid range.
