How much you need to make to be 'middle class' in Denver

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:38:27 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — What does it mean to be “middle class” anymore? The definition can be confusing — and it changes depending on where you live and how many people are in your household.In a study published in 2022, the Pew Research Center defined “middle-income” adults as “adults in 2021 with an annual household income that was two-thirds to double the national median income in 2020, after incomes have been adjusted for household size.”Pew explains that a middle income equals an annual household income of $52,000 to $156,000 for a family of three, based on 2020 dollars. These numbers have not been adjusted for inflation since then. The 5 highest – and lowest – paying college degrees in Denver Adjusted for inflation, using this CPI inflation calculator, annual household income to be classified as middle class would start around $60,000. And Pew reports that while the middle class has famously decreased significantly over time, it “held steady” in 2021.But what does it mean...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:38:27 GMT

LONDON — Boris Johnson’s senior aides were “exhausted” from dealing with him during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, Britain’s public inquiry into the outbreak heard Tuesday.Testimony revealed in Britain’s COVID-19 probe shows that both Lee Cain and Dominic Cummings — who served as Johnson’s director of communications and chief adviser respectively — expressed deep frustration with the then-prime minister’s handling of coronavirus as it gripped the U.K. in March 2020. In WhatsApp messages sent on March 19, 2020 — which were shown to the inquiry Tuesday — Cummings told Cain that he had been forced to “sit here for 2 hours just to stop [Johnson] saying stupid shit.”“I’ve literally said same thing ten f*cking times and he still won’t absorb it. I’m exhausted just talking to him and stopping the trolley,” Cummings texted.“I’m exhausted with him,” Cain replied. In March 2020, ...

Visitors will be allowed in Florence chapel’s secret room to ponder if drawings are Michelangelo’s

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:38:27 GMT

FLORENCE, Italy (AP) — Just four at a time, visitors soon will be allowed access to a long-hidden space inside Florence’s Medici Chapel where delicate charcoal drawings sketched on the walls have been attributed by some experts to Michelangelo.The secret room — a tiny 10-by-3 meters (33-by-10 feet) space — was discovered in 1975, when officials were searching for a new exit from the Medici Chapel to accommodate increasing visitors.The museum’s then-director Paolo Dal Poggetto “firmly believed that they were by Michelangelo,’’ said the current director, Paola D’Agostino. A fierce debate ensued, and continues to this day.“The major scholars of Michelangelo’s drawings dismissed the attributions” at the time of discovery 50 years ago, she said. “Others had a more moderate view, in the sense they tough that some could be by Michelangelo and others could be by followers. So the debate is ongoing.”The room was used to store coal until 1955, and then sealed closed and forgotten ...

US wages rose at a solid pace this summer, posing challenge for Fed’s inflation fight

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:38:27 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Wages and benefits grew at a slightly faster pace in the July-September quarter than the previous three months, a benefit for workers but a trend that also represents a risk to the Federal Reserve’s fight against inflation. Compensation as measured by the Employment Cost Index increased 1.1% in the third quarter, down from a 1% rise in the April-June quarter, the Labor Department said Tuesday. Compared with a year ago, compensation growth slowed to 4.3% from 4.5% in the second quarter. Still, that is faster than the rate of inflation, suggesting Americans saw an increase in their purchasing power after pay trailed inflation for much of 2021 and 2022. Fed officials consider the ECI one of the most important measures of wages and benefits because it measures how pay changes for the same mix of jobs, rather than average hourly pay, which can be pushed higher by widespread layoffs among lower-income workers, for example. Growth in pay and benefits, as measured by...

Will MAiD changes give drug users access to assisted death?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:38:27 GMT

In today’s Big Story Podcast, it can be difficult to sort fact from fiction, or anecdotes from data, when it comes to a subject like assisted dying. The topic itself is so emotional. The stories of those who don’t qualify or from family left behind, can be heartbreaking. And the terms and conditions used to assess someone’s eligibility for the process are complex and opaque.All of that is an environment ripe for misinformation — or for potential disasters to be imagined. Jocelyn Downie is a Professor Emeritus at the Faculties of Law and Medicine at Dalhousie University. She works at the intersection of health care ethics, law, and policy. “You can make it seem like the sky is falling by talking about people having access to MAiD, as if all people with substance use problems are having access to MAiD. That’s not true. And you get people concerned.”Next year, restrictions on the MAiD law will fall away, allowing mental illness to be a sole condition for MA...
