It's not a "good" wage in the US. It's exactly median.
Which is fine, someone has to be median, but really underwhelming for the (presumably highly-educated and talented) head of the #1 national historical monument.
- mrwh 5mo agoIt's £64K, not $64K (which is indeed about the median in the US). So, not bad.
- bpodgursky 5mo agoAh I misread that, but $86k is still not good for a highly educated professional.
- oaiey 5mo agoIt is good for a professional with specialization in history.
- hdgvhicv 5mo agoSuperintendent of Mount Rushmore is paid $125–160k
- oaiey 5mo agoSo roughly the same salary :). After subtracting health care, pension, etc plus currency exchange.
- loeg 5mo agoNo, you did not subtract those things from the UK pay. The $86k pre tax UK wage comes down to something like $64k post tax. Whereas a $125–160k US earner in South Dakota takes home $97-120k, paying another $6k for health insurance. 91 is in fact larger than 64.
