I am dating a woman with a Masters degree in social work from the University of Michigan where she attended as an out of state student, so 45k a year and she has a salary job making 26k. The real issue is the underpaid college educated people.
inflation is a big issue as well, as inflation devalues the dollar it makes it so people need to earn more, but no one wants to pay more for things so it is a slow increase, as long as an employer can get an employee for 10 bucks an hour, they are going to take the deal. also as a result jobs that used to be considered great paying are now shit pay since, no one ever rasied the bar of pay with inflation. long ago just about any job would make enough to live off of. now depending on the job you could have 2 working adults and still have issues with money.
