$50K a year? That's not very much money really, not in 2021. I'm talking about for someone with an average cost of living, not in a big city.Is the job market that bad, that it's a "seller's market" for jobs? That companies can dictate terms and be choosy, due to record high unemployment?
Kyrie Eleison!
