8/ OR, behind door number three is Generation Three. You are born 40 years after the War, you grow up with tractors planting the crops, you work 6 days a week, not 7, you can attend school and learn to read ... Or Generation Four...

My number was 15-20. If the avg factory salary was 13, thats not far off. 20 wouldn’t be unheard of for senior laborers. Now do pensions/union benefits

Huge % of boomers I know walked into well-paid factory work, saw the houses they bought in the 70s appreciate wildly in the 90s as their work was off-shored or otherwise relegated to cheap hourly (often illegal) labor. But yeah they just worked harder than their dumb kids

Btw, avg household income does not equal avg factory yearly pay. Not only did the upper-middle make far less in relative terms, the avg agricultural worker & service worker made relatively less. I stand by my 15-20 figure. Manufacturing was the middle class
