$117k a year is threshold for low income in San Fransisco now

More People are making more than 100k because the jobs are paying more

They pay more because the dollar is worth less

Also wives working more or at all means that households may be making more but you have to invest time to do so and costs from day care and such means people arent really living better

i think this graph is adjusted for inflation

“Inflation adjusted”

Yeah

It is

female workforce participation was high in the 70s i think

The transition from single income to dual income households I dont tihnk are considered here

dual income b/c the norm after the 50s i thought

especially when the 60s crop of hippie kids graduated

not sure but I dont think it was as prominent as now

oh ur right

dota grand finals are right now

Also with daycare costs dual income doesnt lead to that much of an increae in spending power much of the time

among other things

Spending power for a single income seems to be much lower regardless

why would you ever get in that kind of argument nigga go get some coochie

this is what i hit her with

"household poor term to ue
would like to see this done on a per capita
dual income household increase since the 70s
and nowadays, quite a lot of stay-at-home children / multigenerational working households
wealth polarization of this nature already has and will create significant untenable social friction
neoliberal policy has no effective redistributive solutions to address this"

i like dunking on shitlibs who spent 3 years getting an econ degree

then arguing ackshually, you are better off now

@C Dub thanx king

Np I didnt look up any data so hope I wasnt jsut bullshitting

truth is veronica..

yeah that chart above doesn't account for the growth of cities. being middle class in a rural area in 1960 was better off than making $100k and living in Chicago (could own property, have kids, etc)

yeah its pretty small brain to compare households - more households make $100k a year because now instead of the dad making $75k (inflation adjusted) the mom and dad both work and make $50k each (inflation adjusted)

The household makes 33% more but works twice as much - great trade!!!

Yeah I can afford a house/condo where I live right now but if I lived in a city I would basically be broke

Exactly, and the percent of people living in cities has gone way up so thats how you have people w/ ok jobs & college degrees going nowhere
