Was gonna say, factoring for the extra costs like school, childcare, healthcare, retirement, car loans, no vacation pay it's basically crap pay anyway.
USA is a scam.
When even the "optimistic" wages are leaving a working family with 2 parents at under $20,000/year in disposable income (literally anything that isn't just not being homeless and having 1-2 meals/day), you're fucked.
These are are also the people expected to maintain local service economies (even though most of them also work in those service economies), support subscription services, and be the primary consumer base for global production.
