What do you earn?

I wonder what dwellars earn.

What do you make per year, excluding benefits. First half is your income alone, second half is combined, or household income.

anonymous poll.

I don't get the poll...not that it applies to me anyway...but the "with spouse" you said not to include spouse...so is that salary of you and spouse added together, or still just what you make and indicating you also have a spouse who works?????

Geographic location matters a lot here.

I make a bit above the national average, but for the neighborhood where I live, I'm well below average, and things are a little tight for my family. My wife isn't employed.

I'm not sure how useful this poll will be in helping you decide upon a fair salary for your location.

you can vote more than once, so if you were married and made 25k you would vote for 25k and then add your spouse's income to 25k. So in your case, shaw you'd end up with a negative number, so just vote for your own income and don't include the hobo.

Others could vote for themselves, and then again with the spouse added.

Glatt, it is more of a just wondering about money in general and not meant to be a method of evaluating a salary request.

I should get a raise for having to listen to the woman in the next cube chew on ice all day, or snap gum, or jingle jangle around.

Gawd I hate cubicles. Ask for MORE money if they tell you you will be working in a cubicle.

Hang your dead hobo on the wall facing the gum-snapper, and hang its head into her cubicle. That should fix her.

These ranges are insufficient. I'm not saying which, and in which direction.

I like maps and information, so here's a link to an interactive table that shows the median household income by county.

And here's a map with similar information.

And a snippet of the map. 2008 numbers.

I think that's what "mad loot" is for.
