Using Gold to Measure Average Wages

[beauanderos]

http://news.goldseek.com/GoldSeek/1262971380.php I'm one of those Americans who thought I was doing better than when I was younger. Turns out, even with a pension as a firefighter and working 84hrs a week (right now) at a decent job (RN) I don't pull down close to the number he mentions as what you would have to earn to stay even with inflation since 1971.

Note... this article was written with gold at $1100.
