很想問..紐約人的平均收入是多少ㄚ？

因為，這邊真的很貴，貴得不像話，
不管是食物還是日常用品，
都貴得很誇張。

想問一下版上的大大，
有人知道紐約的公司給一般普通大學生畢業月薪是多少嗎？
(請給平均值喔..不要提供那種很特殊的個案..謝謝唷... 8-| )

ha ha, just kidding,

I am suprised to read that average salaryin NYC was only $49,670 in 2004....... guess there are too many poor strugle artists??

my grilfriend has just graduated from school..she is working now...that is her first job and her salary is 40000us dollars for a year before tax......it is pretty much..but like you said everything in NY is more expensive than TW....especially the rent.....

Same here!
I am surprised that the avg. amount is around $50000.
My friend was out of school three years ago, and worked for DA office in NYC. Her salary amount was far behind this avg one.
I guess the majority of residents living in NYC is surviving under the poverty line.

poverty line是個聯邦標準
相信我，它只有年薪一萬多美金
紐約平均所得近50000美金，比poverty threshold/guidline要高得多
以這個標準，只有10~15%左右的紐約人是在貧窮線以下
大部份人都遠超過貧窮線
當然，紐約物價高，但是大部份人還是能生存

同意katmai的話
(以前有教過貧窮線是怎麼來的....long time ago)
一直都覺得Manhattan是有錢的人很有錢 很窮的人卻也很窮
但是 紐約各色人都有 也是個再窮都活的下去的地方!!!!
