This is so uniquely depressing. They were accurate on my annual wage in 2024 yet they assumed I’d be working less than 40 hours 😭
15 0 ReplyI think you misread that, because $40,000 in 1966 is roughly $385,000 in today's dollars.
Edit: conversely, $40,000 in today's dollars would be $4,176.25 in 1966.

I got that wage, but not accounting for inflation...
11 0 ReplyWith the 1966 labour share of income you probably would be working way less (or making way more)
4 0 ReplyIs it really accurate? They wrote this is '66 about the year '00, which is 34 years. It's been another 24 years since their prediction date.
