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.
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.
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.
