@yogthos@lemmy.ml Last time I did the math, adjusted for inflation I make 19% less now than when I started 4 years ago.

I'm surprised it's that low.

Me, too, but it’s also a just a really strange title. Over 40% of Americans doing worse is a strange way to say most Americans are doing better. Doesn’t make me want to read the article.
