Would you say Her wages have not kept up with housing inflation or she preferred government housing. Obviously she very astute about government subsidies.
I was in same situation in 1990. It took a couple years of work experience to find something better.
$40k-$50k is a good second household income but it would be a stretch to support a family on it.
I have a couple of close friends who have recent high school grad kids. One is an electrician now and the other is a plumber. When I asked them what they were doing now, not knowing if it was college or what, I was intentional in praising their decision to go into trades. I hope we see more of it and less useless college debt...
Good stuff. In the case that I was thinking of when I posted, the person used social services case workers to help find fully subsidized housing when they had a very low paying parking garage gig. As they continued to improve their job/pay, their subsidies began to shrink and they got discouraged because there was a year or two in there that going backwards would have improved their overall cash flow, but they hung in there, now have a decent place, a truck, etc. It's understanding about how to push through the time period where it is painful and know that there is another side, usually.It would not be crazy to see somebody losing benefits with an implicit marginal tax rate into the 90's. I haven't seen the data for a long time, so it may not be this way now, but it used to be that a fairly standard situation (like an earner in a family of four with two earners) could see an implicit marginal tax rate of over 90% as they increased their salary by $20k. So going from something like $45k to $65k, which would presumably require some hard work and potentially over several years to increase your pay that much, basically barely moves the needle. Of course people get frustrated and decide that they're better off working less hard or probably more likely with a less stressful position and/or less hours and have basically the same amount after taxes and transfers.
ETA: Not the data I remember, but shows pretty high implicit marginal tax rates:
Snapshot of Marginal Tax Rates for Low- and Moderate-Income Workers | Congressional Budget Office
In 2013, 37 percent of low- and moderate-income taxpayers who have earnings face total marginal tax rates between 30 percent and 39 percent, and over 20 percent of that group face marginal rates of 40 percent or more.www.cbo.gov
The same for Mississippi. Over half the state is government subsidized and is still a day late and a dollar short******
Another reason Mississippi should be a blue state and vote Democrat: Big taxes and big government******
(Now, sir, you may lock this damn thing up)
They had to revise when Trump found out they were counting all the jobs they gave to illegals trying to get their vote.
If you add up foreign and domestic born workers, it's like 56mm.
There are 3x that many workers in the US.
...what am I missing?
As expected, reading comprehension isn’t strong here. The graph clearly shows ~164 MILLION total workers. That’s what you’re missing.
Orange numbers on left are domestic and blue numbers on the right are foreign workers.
