About $46k per year in my state. Also, apparently I'm above average.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

When I lived in the US, I didn't make enough money to afford any of these states.
man, the vast majority of states are a lot lower than i would have expected.
I call bullshit on a definition of "living wage" which claims that someone making $100,000 a year is earning less than a living wage (even in Hawaii).
