That’s the individual median income for adults in the United States, ages 25+. If we look only at women, that number rapidly shrinks to $19,679. Even if you obtain a bachelor’s degree, the odds say you still probably won’t make more than the median income in the U.S.
With relatively bleak prospects, it’s easy to see how workers everywhere feel underappreciated and underpaid. It’s because they are, and it’s easy to see how that can lead to unhappiness.
