YEAR. IS THIS CORRECT.IF THIS IS TRUE THEN WHY IS THERE SUCH A GROSS "BELL CURVE" DISTRIBUTION OF SALARIES IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF AMERICA?
if we want democracy , this is part of it. there isn't any fairness in it, it's a matter of drive, wants and what you'll do to get it.
I think I would love to earn £64,000 a year, which is what it works out to. Sadly, even though I'm a qualified software engineer, I would be lucky to gross two thirds of that.
PS, you're shouting again
The reasons for such a curve are many.
Mostly though it is peoples unwillingness to work for themselves.
Almost everyone has a job. Not that a job is a bad thing but it severely limits how much you can make.
If you are paid by the hour, you can only work 24 hours in a day.
Most only get 8.
If you are on a salary you might get to work 12-16 hour days but your pay never reflects your work load and you don't get any overtime. This is a very stagnant income.
The vast majority of people who do make a large income either have highly skilled employees, or they own their own business.
I understand that most are scared to start their own business because most fail. But they seem to forget that they can try it again and again until they learn what it takes to make a business successful.
There is no country of America, it is a large land mass split into two continents of many countries.

I started on this site five years ago, but have been inactive for several of those years. I just recently started getting into the swing of things again and I'm noticing many of my hubs have very little traffic. Well under the 100 mark for several years. Some hubs need major reworkings which I will...
