You're right about individuals, but by definition, if the median household income is $54k, then exactly half of households make over $54k.

From city website:


Per capita money income in past 12 months (2013 dollars), 2009-2013 $33,712
Median household income, 2009-2013 $61,721
Persons below poverty level, percent, 2009-2013 12.9%

http://healthydane.org/?hcn=Demographics


By that measure, Ike's household will be below average.

He will have to settle for the cable package that doesn't even include MLBN or NBCSN. Ouch.

Make sure you turn the heat way down at night during the winter.

um... the statistics prove the average individual in madison makes 31k/yr. its not debatable. I also happen to live in the area and know what most people make, and $31k is what most 'normal' jobs offer. entry level jobs around here are $24k/yr at best. this isn't chicago, you actually can live on $30k a year, its just really hard to without a 2nd income/roomate.


No. Average income is derived by dividing the amount of income produced in a given area by the total population. Because it can be skewed by outliers (such as a concentration of low-wage graduate students, quasi-students, dropouts, or recent degree recipients) it doesn't necessarily reflect the earnings of a "typical" Madisonian. This data is better captured by examining median income, which identifies the income level for those in the 50th percentile of the population.

i dont know why you guys are so jealous. my living expenses would be about $1300 a month, for all bills and rent. ill make 3x that on the base wage, which is considered a good income if you ask any financial guy. id also be living in one of the best cities in the country and you live in shitcago

if you want to share your expenses and ACTUAL income id love to hear it. i think theres a reason youre not. and dont include what your wife is making, that wouldnt be fair.

I think you think 50,000 is more than it is in 2015.

Anyway, it sounds like you have convinced yourself to take the job. Might as well sign some paperwork.

Jealous? I feel sorry for you on multiple levels. I wish you no ill will, but like a sick animal, it may be in your best interest to meet your maker. Your pain is so deep that life is your worst enemy.

Now sign the damn contract and get to work.

Congrats on the new job Ike.

Yes. He thought disclosing the supposed salary, with bonus, was going to impress us. I really want what's best for Ike. Unfortunately, well....

Ike,

Send them an email summarizing your understanding of the agreement you made with them verbally. End it with, looking forward to receiving the written portion of the agreement.

Usually I would agree with you.

But it would still be advisable based upon the fact that they are making plans to hire you and have not sent paperwork yet.
