No one on earth can convince me a $60 pair of jeans is worth $60.

$60 has the same buying power thar $30 did just 15 years ago so it might be more helpful to think in living wage hours (where 50 hours of work pays for rent).

In 2025 average rent is $1650. So a living wage after taxes would be $33. In 2010 it was $890 which means a living wage was $17.

There isn't one living wage. It varies greatly by location, and so do wages. However, there isn't any location that consistently pays living wages.
