I believe the average income is about $3000 usd. But that’s white collared and blue collared together I believe. If you just talk about white collared jobs, 5000-8000 isn’t strange, though most new employees start very very low and work their way up to that over years. Minimum wage is around $10 an hour. The income gap is growing because those nice white collared jobs are getting harder to find and temp workers are becoming really common. Apartments costs $600-$1000 for single people in many parts of the city, a meal costs $8-10 and entertainment is stupid expensive...a local concert costs $25 minimum, sometimes twice that, not local can cost $80-300. Music festivals $300+ That’s why I mostly hang out at friends bars and the park lol
Cheap clothes $15-20....decent cloths...$150+ which is why I wear rags lol. English teachers make closer to minimum wage
