How much is the monthly salary of an average American employee?

US salary scale: US$1,200-2,000 for low-income people; US$2,000-4,500 for middle-income people; above US$4,500 for high-income people.

In other words, those who earn two to three thousand in China, compared with those who earn 1,200-2,000 in the United States, convert to RMB about 8,000-13,000, which seems to be much higher than that in China.

But you have to understand that taxes in the United States are very high. You have to pay 27-30% tax, and you also have to pay various insurances. After calculation, half of your salary has been lost. Rent is also a huge expense. Most Americans don’t have the habit of buying a house. Because property taxes in the United States are very high, most people live in rented houses. The monthly rent of several hundred dollars is a big burden. In addition, the cost of living in the United States is very high. Except for the prices of some agricultural and sideline products, which are similar to those in China, other expenses are far higher than in China because labor costs in the United States are already high. In addition, the United States also has a tipping culture. When dining out, taking a taxi, etc., an additional tip of 10 to 15% is required. There are also service fees for various living facilities, which are also considerable expenses. Therefore, low-income people in the United States generally live a poorer life than those homeless people who receive emergency assistance. The reason why they do not apply for subsistence allowances is just to live with dignity. This deserves our respect.

In addition, the middle-income class of 2000-4500 people in the United States also live a very ordinary life, because in addition to paying half of their salary to pay taxes and insurance like low-income people, in order to support the superficial appearance, they also have to There will be additional expenses on clothing, cosmetics, etc., and the rent will be more than what a low-income person would pay. In addition, the chances of necessary dining out and traveling will increase, so the life will not be comfortable. The reason why they can support a relatively decent life is that most of them rely on credit cards to spend in advance.

Only those with an income of 4,500 or more can live a more relaxed life. Of course, 4,500 is only the entry threshold for high income. Many Americans earn much higher wages than this and live very comfortably. But there are also many people with low and middle incomes.

So, don’t listen to people who have never left the country all day long on the Internet to talk about how great the United States is, and that even rag pickers have a better life than us. In fact, it’s all bullshit. !

Note: There is also a special group in the United States, consisting of illegal immigrants, scoundrels, drug addicts, homeless people, etc. These people do nothing all day long and rely on government relief to live, and their lives are actually worse than Isn’t it ironic that low-income people who work hard are better off? In addition, there are a group of non-profit organizations that specialize in applying for subsistence allowance relief for these lazy scoundrels. If the government does not give money, they will use human rights as an excuse to force the government to pay. This way, they can benefit from the government and make everyone eat. The fat bowl is full. Isn’t it even more ironic that the taxes paid by those hard-working workers end up in the pockets of these people?
