Well, it says "average income" per capita and $48k is $24/hr... in like 95% of the country today, most people make that or less than that. Many states where most workers make half that.

No, they don’t? Did you open the link? Median income in the US is $70,000 a year. Half of workers make below that, not 95%

Your link references median household income which is based on the income of every resident of that house that is over the age of 15. The OP references the average of individual incomes.
