Fair depends on skill sets, ambition, a lot of things really. But anything less than $75 an hour…and you won’t see me around, I have better things to do

Interesting thread. A lot of variables in our country to consider. Career jobs v. temp jobs. Bottom line at different times in your life "fair" might be different things. People going to college might take a side job for $20 an hour with no benefits part time just to help out with bills but the same person who has graduated might not take a job in their field for under 72 Thousand a year. The biggest problem I have seen is the cost of insurance and housing. Homes that aren't worth $80 K are selling for $180 K. Almost impossible to try and live on a $20 an hour job and if somehow you can it is not likely there is anything to put away for emergencies or retirement.
