Finally, the far more useful median, rather than the deceitful average!

I’m sure a very high percentage of those DC employees are GOV employees with sweet DC locality boosts.

Brit here, what’s going on in Colorado?

Florida, the land of overpriced rent and cheap wages. A paradise for the old and rich but absolute hell for locals.
At least the gdp numbers and state population growth looks good on paper for Mr. DeSantis, meanwhile actual Floridians struggle to make ends meet.

I live near Chicago and have no idea how anyone from SF, LA, NYC, or many other places can afford a house. Unless you have a good job in a good industry, the wages are way lower relative to house prices even if modestly higher in absolute terms.

Mississippi try not to be the absolute worst at everything challenge

This is quite high compared to European countries right?

Man Hawaii is the place of million dollar 2 bedroom homes and $6/gallon gas and groceries that are easily double the price where I live. But the median income is a whole $2,100 more per year than my state. I don’t think an extra $175 per month would make it livable for
me.

These need to be narrowed down to the lower 50-80% of americans. Then you get the real picture.

As a European, this is shockingly consistent. Connecticut only makes about 30% more than Alabama. I expected double

Damn, those are some pretty sweet incomes.
In my Canadian province of British Columbia, our median income is C$46,300. That’s only $33,000 USD, 35% less than Mississippi.
(Disclaimer: this is for all income earners, not just full time. So the Canadian stats aren’t entirely comparable.)

More reason why not to move to Florida unless you are retired. Cost of living is fairly high, rent is $1,500-$2,000 meanwhile you’ll get paid $40,000 a year, if that. Young people born here leave to find work and I don’t blame them.

This is painful to see. COL is so high right now I don’t know how most people are making it.

Such bullshit

Now do it compared to the cost of living in each state.
