Median household income USA in 2023: $80,610

https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2024/demo/p60-28...



Median personal has to be close to zero before redistribution payments, for all ages.

It paints a pretty poor picture of what is possible. I met many uneducated immigrants on a fish processing boat in the Bering Sea making 10k a month, a job usually begging for people. They would show me pictures of their wives and children living well.


How many died that season? Dangerous work.


Fish trawling is far less dangerous than crabbing. None on our boat.
