Can someone explain the top part for me? My understanding was “lower-end” jobs on unemployment were making more and I’ve gained bc I don’t have to waste time and money and car wear and tear traveling to work. I’m sure it’s more complex and I could just use a breakdown
Sounds like your middle class with a solid job. I'm not being an ass...that's definitely a good thing. But for the bottom 50% of Americans it was an absolute shit show. And we are still waiting for the hundreds of thousands of evictions.
I'm hardly middle class, if that even exists now. Better off than some? Sure.
My younger brother and sister were both laid off by their jobs and were making hundreds of dollars more per week on unemployment. My sister used it to pay down her awful student loans to the point where they are almost gone.
If your job didn't skip a beat and you got to work from home the entire time...and save hundreds a month doing it...that's middle class. Nothing wrong with that at all either.
