The median wage is about $15.
I'd say about 15% or less of people under 40 make more than $20 an hour.

Pretty common. Depends if they have a degree, what kind of job they have, and how long they've been working there. I'd say it's probably around 50/50. I'm 27 and making $14 an hour, my sister's 24 and making $31 an hour. It just depends...

Depends on your education, location, and field of work. It's very easy for a person with a college education to earn more than $20 entry-level. However, a waitress, with only high school education can earn more than that in half as much time. Just depends!

You only need a high school education to make that kind of money as a railroad worker, auto assembly plant, offshore oil pumping companies and many others, oh, and the biggest employers, the shipping lines which take you all over the world.

City jobs and post office employees make that much. I think you just need a highschool degree and pass their tests.
