That wont cover the rent or mortgage here and people would become walking skeletons as they cant afford food and the cost of utilities. With that sort of income, product consumption would collapse and many businesses would fold. The USA system is fortunately not the one we and other Western countries have. In the USA the few own the great bulk of the wealth a terrible situation for so many people. You say unemployment is lower but what you have is people being classified as being in work who receive less income than our dole. They work long hours and live in abject poverty while most of the largesse goes to the top 5% in the country.
