"I mean averages are a bad way to measure anything. In terms of wages, two men each make $10000 which is sup par for a family of 4; a third man makes $500k way above par. The mean between the three is $173k suggesting an affluent community when its not."

Gee. While technically correct, your argument is irrelevant. I wasn't talking about average incomes across a widely divergent population, but rather average hourly wages of production and non-supervisory workers within specific industries YOU claimed were high or low-paying. You neither substantiated that claim when you made it nor offered up data of your own to contradict mine when asked directly to do so after you claimed mine somehow didn't matter.

"Dude, post the page number and I will check it. Otherwise your numbers are bogus."

Page number? WTF are you talking about? It's an online database of historical CPS and CES data. Specifically, the historical "A" and "B" tables. I've posted the link numerous times, but for your edification, I'll give it to you one more time: bls.gov

And dude, if you can't come up with a factual counter after ten days of trying, then rather than making yourself look stupid and evasive, you might want to consider an Emily Litella response instead - or better yet, just quietly crawl back under your rock.
