Just a smidge over $63k after tax and before gibbs.

The job market over here is shocking.

Lol in Canada 64,000 pounds = $120K CAD which would put you in the 92nd income percentile.

This is equivalent to $85,700 USD, not $63k.

Read it again. $63k after tax and before "gibbs" i.e. government-provided social distributions.

63k after tax in the us is about 86k before tax, so about the same.

Although in the us you have to pay for healthcare on top of that.

You pay for a private healthcare plan, and the US government pays tax money to the same healthcare companies to prop up the system.

You're double-counting the individual.
