Measured by Dollars.

Redlands. CAL. Facts: The average
educated man gets a salary of $1,000 per
year. He works 40 years, making his
total $40, 900 in a lifetime. The average
day laborer gets 81 so per day, 300 days
in the year, or $3.50 per year. In
40 years he earns about $1S, 900 for a life
time. The difference between $40. 600
