E) Fishpockets.

On the plus side, I don't feel quite as old now!

(Edited because exchange rates are a thing)
Exchange rates are not a thing unless you are exchanging you pay for other currency. $1 Canadian in Canada is a $1 not 70 some odd cents.


No matter how you break this down the data is still suspect as far as income goes. Income is very regionally biased. The guy making $40K in New York city is not on an even playing field with the guy making $40K in Backwater Arkansas.


As flawed as the data will be it is still very interesting to see.


This is actually making me feel older since as of this moment there are only two in my category.
