This is so uniquely depressing. They were accurate on my annual wage in 2024 yet they assumed Iโd be working less than 40 hours ๐ญ
Is it really accurate? They wrote this is '66 about the year '00, which is 34 years. It's been another 24 years since their prediction date.
With the 1966 labour share of income you probably would be working way less (or making way more)
I think you misread that, because $40,000 in 1966 is roughly $385,000 in today's dollars.
That was the joke. I make $40k today.
Pretty sure that's the joke
I got that wage, but not accounting for inflation...
Same. I made 36k last year. I looked it up rq and in 1966 dollars 36k would be equivalent to 350k now.
