I agree it’s a non story. I mean, take out the numbers and the headline is pretty much “employees want more money and employers don’t want to give it”.
But that’s my point, employers are giving it (kinda, I’ll circle-back to this). The full-time offer has gone up $9k in the last 12 months. Contrasted with the ask that has only gone up $6k in that same time-frame.
Now, is $70k a livable wage? Hard to say without a more specific location. In bumfuck Alabama, probably. In LA, hell no.

I agree with you totally. I made the same point lower down and it got downvoted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In bumfuk Alabama that’ll make you one of, if not the, richest people there.
