MakeIt That’s basically minimum wage whence the cost of living in these areas is factored in.

MakeIt 170k in SF is more like 100k when you factor in the cost of living etc.

MakeIt 42% of the working people on the U.S. exist on less than $50k a year. Pay check to pay check. $15k $20k $30k a YEAR. Millions. THAT'S a problem.

MakeIt Why would anyone care? Not like they are getting the job.

MakeIt Ravenworks Investor Tier I: {-$175,027.53} Tier II: {-$145,013.48} Tier III: {-$125,003.41} Ravenworks HQ: 131 N Gale Dr. Apt 1E Beverly Hills, CA 90211 {-$731,027.67)

MakeIt It's nice making $170k, not nice with SF cost of living. All they are doing is giving you higher wage, to tax you a whole lot more! Higher income tax, higher food cost, high rent, etc

MakeIt I can't seem to get a job in such a company without sacrificing a lot of things.

MakeIt Geez

MakeIt Not hardly a single physical product produced. Not a single pair of soiled hands. Not a single callous or blister. Software and internet. Broken system. Sad.

MakeIt Those evil businesses and their evil employees. Nobody needs to make $170,829 per year. We need to increase the federal income tax rate to 70% for anyone who makes $170,929 or more. This is outrageous!

MakeIt Literally all 9 companies are located in THE most expensive area in the United States, also known as Silicon Valley. Where rent and real estate costs are THE highest in the nation.

MakeIt All of these companies have under 10,000 employees. so less employees means more pay 🤔

MakeIt Very interesting.....💰

MakeIt These companies are all headquartered in pricey California where that salary won’t go as far as some people think.

MakeIt what is the average salary?

MakeIt They should reference cost of living adjustments. Would you rather make $170 in Bay Area or $150 in Austin?

MakeIt entry level salary for House of Reps

MakeIt Twitter is really 3?! Wow. Goat app again

MakeIt Whats your point. Maybe interesting to know; but I'm sure it's unreachable for the real world workers; right.

MakeIt of thats the median what is the average? 300k?

MakeIt Well of course they’re mostly tech jobs 🙄 what about the average, middle-poverty class jobs? Come onnnnnn

MakeIt That is not a lot of money people, quit selling yourselves short

MakeIt Obviously all software companies ...

MakeIt What about Congress’ salaries? Let’s see some stats.

MakeIt And the average house in those areas is more than $1 million dollars, so....

MakeIt All tech companies... Oil and gas is dead.
