Fear of job loss hits its highest point in years—but workers won’t accept less than $81,000

I made $100k in 2014. If I don’t make $133k in 2024, I’m being paid less than before for the same work, plus 10 years of additional experience.
It's pretty crazy. Never thought I would make over 100k in my life. Now that I have, 100k seems like the minimum to get by if you have kids. And this isn't in a HCOL area either.
Bro same!
I'm making 5 times as much as I did when I was out of college. And I'm still nowhere near what my parents had.
Which either implies I was living in extreme poverty back then, or this is a hellhole.
That's where you start to question whether it's lifestyle creep or it's really just that hard to get by and wonder how you used to do it on 1/2 or 1/3 of that income.
