Dr.Sack Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) *50% of all workers in the US make less than $28,851.24 per year. *158,186,786 wage earners. *67.2% of all workers earn $44,569.20 or less. "The "raw" average wage, computed as net compensation divided by the number of wage earners, is $7,050,259,213,644.55 divided by 158,186,786, or $44,569.20. Based on data in the table below, about 67.2 percent of wage earners had net compensation less than or equal to the $44,569.20 raw average wage. By definition, 50 percent of wage earners had net compensation less than or equal to the median wage, which is estimated to be $28,851.21 for 2014." https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/netcomp.cgi?year=2014 Edited February 12, 2017 by Dr.Sack
Nanker Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 In other simply fascinating government statistics: "Ample rain and moderate temperatures across the Nation’s mid-section led to record-high yield and production for corn and soybeans, both key U.S. crops, in 2016, according to the Crop Production 2016 Summary released today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). U.S. corn growers produced 15.1 billion bushels, up 11 percent from 2015. Corn yield in the U.S. is estimated at 174.6 bushels per acre, 6.2 bushels above last year’s average yield. Area harvested, at 86.7 million acres, is up 7 percent from 2015. The 2016 corn objective yield data indicate the third highest number of ears per acre on record for the combined objective yield States with record high ear counts in Ohio. Soybean production for 2016 totaled a record 4.31 billion bushels, up 10 percent from 2015. With record high levels across nearly all of the northern United States, from the northern Great Plains to the Appalachian Mountains, the average soybean yield is estimated at a record high 52.1 bushels per acre, 4.1 bushels above last year’s yield. Harvested area in 2016, at a record 82.7 million acres, is up 1 percent from 2015. For 2016, all cotton production is up 32 percent from 2015, at 17.0 million 480-pound bales.

unbillievable Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) For the same amount of money the US spent on developing the F-35 jet, Trump could build a wall around the entire country, twice. (including a sea wall along the coast). Edited February 13, 2017 by unbillievable

(including a sea wall along the coast). But the wall wouldn't have the same sensor integration capability. Would probably fly as well, though.
