Comment on The True Rate of Unemploymentparent

Comments

I know people who earn that much...

1. Rent is a few hundred dollars a month

2. No car, use mass transit

3. Single

4. Work less than 40 hours a week in a job they enjoy....

At that income level, taxes are pretty close to zero (including FICA) because of the Earned Income Tax Credit.
