True. Even the Fork Truck drivers in Michigan historically earned the low six figures. Skilled could easily earn over 100K.
Remember, Flint (back in the day) was one of the most prosperous cities in the US. You get that "title" by having a high average wage.
I worked in high ticket retail in downtown Flint during those times. I was 19 or 20. Money was dripping out of folks wallets. Most folks thought it would never end.
