    If only we paid them a living wage


    ST. LOUIS…Her yearly teaching salary was $42,000

    In 2016, the median household income in the City of St. Louis was $42,000. source (expand the dropdown: What does this indicator measure’)

    She made as much teaching as the median household income in the area by herself (completely ignoring the rest of her household). Since when is that not a living wage?
