She lives in the Charlotte area of which you compared means (usual average) and median (mid point of population). The little ~ means approximately. So if Milwaukee teachers in High School make 54K+ than I consider that the ~ neighborhood. The ~ 60K I gave as typical is probably within 3 standard deviations of the mean but I have not crunched the data. I will not use the term typical for semantics purposes again, but you get my point. They are certainly not poor as most would define poor.

1. Anecdotal evidence =/= statistical evidence or generalizable data.
2. I know what ~ means and I gave you the 10%, 25%, and 90% markers for the data that I cited.
3. If your daughter has been working for four years, and wages have been frozen for four years, why are you surprised that your daughter is still making an entry-level salary?
4. Is your daughter not in the teacher's union?
5. Why are you doing your daughter's taxes for her? Are you an accountant?
6. Aren't we constantly saying not to make generalizations based on anecdotal data?
7. $54,000 =/= "about $60,000. It doesn't even round to "about $60,000.
