Dan, I totally deny that of course. I'm a flamin' Liberal riding a muti-colored Unicorn, honest... 
Anthony, as I stated earlier these numbers are really difficult to nail down due to the various methods of measurment. Take "average" for instance. A small percentage of the population makes X number of times the rest of the population makes, which then tend to scew the "average" or "mean" wage. It would get WAY to involved to break it down to individual groups but from my research of various methods and sources I believe it is accurate to say: The typical blue collar worker, working a typical 8 hour day, 40 hour week makes about $30,000 a year.
Interesting comment about education, suggestion being this group likely has no more than a high school education. I might pursue that aspect of my own personal "research" and look a little closer at the demographics, family size, education, etc.
The "middle class" remains a very fuzzy and difficult to nail down definition. |
