Keep in mind, the median rent in the U.S. for a 1-bedroom apt is >$18,000/year.
@[email protected] you have a link to the stats on that? The only stats I seem to be able to find seem to suggest the 74k number is the median, which is different from the average and so not affected by outliers. The average looks to be closer to 100k+ before you discount the highest earners.
@earthshine @MikeDunnAuthor agree sources would be good (because I don't like being discredited when I share memes like this).
