did I do the math right..according to those estimated government figures in that table..it seems that the average salary is under 24,000 a year-of course Manhattan is expensive although you dont need a car and there is so much competition you can find tons of bargains except in housing..electricity is high..just road up in elevator with somebody who said because of his heat his airconditioning bill was over 340 last month.. the question is is the rest the country that cheap? I know you will mention the two wage earners ..so let us bring it up now to 48,000...but it is an average so I know the pay disparity is mammoth among workers and in regions.. ps the person I had a fight with on Saturday threw in that Mcdonalds in some areas pays between 8 and 10 dollars an hour..
