Everything I've read before this showed HS grad at a much lower rate than this. I guess I'm just bummed that my wife makes less than a HS graduate and I, with a MS, make about the same as an associate degree. Do you think these are accurate?
I would agree from experience of looking what else is out there most jobs do not require a degree and ones that do don't pay near these levels at all. If I could find an" average" job at 71K I'd jump at it - a 35% increase yes please!

I'm one of those "over -compensated" public employees and my wife is a teacher.
42 grand for a high school diploma??? No ******* chance. I have a bachelors and I don't make that.
I actually know a lot of people with high school diplomas that make more than 42k, and they all work in factories.

Remember, for those of us in Iowa it usually about 15% on wage scale for some reason. I guess the cost of living maybe. Everyone I talk to that move instate is shocked at wages here compared to outlying and surrounding states.
