the median household salary is $46,326

That's a lot of money in some parts of the country, in other parts it's not enough.

25 dollars an hour isn’t alot? WTH? Something’s seriously wrong here.. because in my neck of the woods, that’s considered way over the top... most folks around here consider themselves lucky to make more than 10 dollars an hour.. The only people who make more than 15 dollars an hour are shrinks, plumbers and electricians.. and they make closer to 80 dollars an hour.

The unmentioned idiotic detail of government statistics: they are assuming one person working full time to support a family of four ...
The more likely scenario is two working parents with two kids, for $10/hour/per adult.

If you want to make money go into sales.

I know car salesmen making $50/hr. and airhead real estate saleswomen averaging $250/hr.
