5. few questions

does that $2,100 cover increases in healthcare and fuel prices over same period? (which i believe have increased above the rate of inflation?)

also, using the mean is pretty useless (i presume he used the mean) since that gets heavily skewed by the super rich. the median would be a more useful figure, i wonder what that is?

and thirdly: what kind of jobs are being created? its no good losing high skilled, high paying jobs with them to be replaced with non skilled minimum wage jobs.
