If the median household income in your area is X, what is a reasonable salary expectation for a single young professional to have?
Depends on the demographics of your area, doesn't it? If they're all young professionals, then somewhere between X/2 and X. Older professionals, something less than that. If your neighbors mostly work at Walmart, more than X, maybe.
Man, I love looking at data! In my old zip code, I was right about on the median, which makes theoretical sense given the number of households with more than one wage earner and the number of housing projects.
I'm not sure why MP is bringing this up now...on the one hand, they created a situation *so* fucked that it is practically, imo, a secondary condition in the "Why Mackensie Can't Get It Together"-stakes(Could something you start with your dad *ever* really be consensual? Not that I'm asking for myself; my dad is a whole other class of fucker.)
Honesty is good for recovery, but why tell millions on Oprah?
Jesse, where do you find that data on median incomes?
Some of it was in the wikipedia article on NYC, some in the NYTimes real estate section -- that's where I found it by zip code. (But I got there by googling "[neighborhood] median income")
HR just came around and handed everyone a piece of paper with the new door codes on it. Seriously?? On so many levels. (a) Paper copies for everyone? (b) We didn't do this when we had layoffs in the spring? (c) This is what you were doing instead of [other seemingly more urgent HR tasks]??

When the door codes changed at my old job, it usually meant someone was fired in a escorted out the door kind of way.
