The American site Retale.com, which specializes in discount vouchers and good deals, has just put online a nice interactive infographic that lets you know how long you need to work depending on your job to be able to buy a hamburger, shoes, a TV, a car or even a house.
This study, carried out using American figures, therefore makes it possible to measure in a fun way the gaps in purchasing power between different categories of the population in the United States... starting for example with Oprah Winfrey, the famous American TV presenter.
For example, it will only take Oprah a little over 14 minutes of work to buy a small luxury car (worth $33), while a construction worker would have to work for 950 year and 1 days.
You can also enter your salary (in dollars) to compare your situation with that of a nurse, LeBron James (the basketball player), a truck driver, a teacher...
