| JeffreyRaze 08/03/18 3:38:46 PM #102: | Out of boredom, I messed around with Corrik's set of numbers. 20k*1000 20k*1000 20k*1000 30k*1000 40k*1000 50k*1000 60k*1000 70k*1000 80k*1000 250k*1000 1000k*1000 So we have 11k jobs in this list with an average income of 149.09k. Lets add in .5% growth and assume for the sake of argument that they're all the lowest on the list at 20k. .5% of 11k is 55 extra jobs. With that the average is now 148.44k. The median doesn't actually change here either. So the workers have lost 650$ on average by adding those people in. That sounds significant, but that only amounts to a .43% drop in wages. The top bracket making even 1% more thanks to the tax cuts would more than cover that. So even in the most convenient case for Trump, new employment doesn't really cover the losses. --- JeffRaze, for all your random spellcasting needs ... Copied to Clipboard! |
