3. 25% earned between $69,000 and $100,400.
4. 12.2% earned between $100,401 and $167,399
5. My 1967 hourly pay at Armco Steel was $4.85/hr which = $33.97/hr. in 2014 or $70,658 per year. Company paid benefits = another $28,665 per year for a total of-- heck what am I doing writing all of this stuff? I just notice I can upload files. Stay tuned suckers!
