Original Note:
The $4.2k salary from the video (adjusted to inflation at $95k today) is pulled from IRS taxable returns, which only accounted for 1.3% of the population. The real, inflation-adjusted salary from 1933 would only be $24.5k today. https://fee.org/articles/were-americans-really-better-off-during-the-great-depression/
