minus-squareHubertManne@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 hours agoIm pretty sure the article is gross pay.
minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 hours agoI wasn’t clear. The article calls out annual household income. Meaning that could be combined income. A single person making 120k and couple making 60k x2 is not equivalent. Health insurance and living expenses creep up.
