"six-figure earners", like UPS drivers.
- HumblyTossed 3y agoNot sure I understand your comment. Are you implying UPS drivers shouldn't make 6 figures?
- mikestew 3y agoI think the implication is that "six figures" ain't what it used to be. Even blue collar delivery drivers are making six figures now. So I take it the complaint is with the headline: "...even six-figure earners". The writer probably wants that to translate to "even doctors and lawyers!", but forgot that candy bars aren't $0.25 anymore, either. EDIT: though OP's linked comment indicates that my guess was wrong. Meh, my point stands: six figures ain't the "professional class" salary it used to be.
- paulpauper 3y agolike having a million dollars. it's not as much as it sounds , and it encompasses a huge range. $1 million hell of a lot smaller than $999 million yet both a million.
