Throughout the U.S., the median household income is around $75,000, according to newly released data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 5-year survey. Your income can, of course, vary due to several factors, like where you live, your gender, and the field you're in. Your highest level of educational attainment can also be impactful. Among American workers who have only a high school diploma or equivalent, the median income is less than $37,000, according to data the Census released Thursday, which was based on their widespread community survey. Those who have a bachelor's degree, however, report a median income of just under $65,000. Some fields will, on average, pay you much more than that. Where has your money been? Here’s how to find out Nationally, it's those with a degree in engineering that have the highest reported median income: Americans between the ages of 25 and 64 with a degree in that field earn about $111,600, Census data shows.

In these days when Bad Bunny, Peso Pluma and Karol G all rank among the top 10 most-streamed artists of the year on Spotify, it might be hard to remember a time when when Latin music wasn’t a massive crossover success story in the United States.Yet, one really doesn’t have to go too far back to find when the genre really struggled to get recognition in the mainstream pop realm in this country.Three of the entertainers who helped to massively change all that, and further cleared the path for all the success that Bad Bunny and so many other Latin acts are enjoying in 2023, have combined forces and are out on the road delighting fans on the blockbuster Trilogy Tour.A jam-packed audience of some 12,000 or so highly exuberant fans turned out to dance and sing along with the three equally impressive performers — Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin — on Wednesday (Dec. 6) at the SAP Center in San Jose.It was an amazing opportunity to see three highly influent...Former 49ers kicker Robbie Gould, No. 10 in all-time scoring, retires day after turning 41

SANTA CLARA — Robbie Gould, the 49ers’ reliable and clutch kicker the previous six seasons, announced his retirement Thursday via a first-person story on The Players’ Tribune platform.In Gould’s retrospective look at his 18-year career – headlined “0:00” — he boiled down his best kick to the 45-yard game-winner in snowy Lambeau Field that lifted the 2021 49ers to a divisional-round playoff win over the Green Bay Packers as time expired. He kept that ball and all his walk-off kicks for the 49ers, except one: his 2019 winner in New Orleans, which he gifted to the York family after the death of their son, Tony.Gould left the 49ers as a free agent in March and went unsigned, although he did draw interest this season, including a reported workout last month with the New York Giants, for whom he played in 2016 between his tenures with the Chicago Bears (2005-15) and the 49ers.Gould scored 1,961 points in his career, good for 10th in NFL history.

It's a tough time to be in the market for a new house.The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage rose above 7% at the start of November 2022, the highest level in more than a decade, as the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rates to combat inflation. After dipping slightly since then, rates have surpassed 7% once again. Even a half of a percentage point change can significantly affect the monthly payments required for a mortgage.Since mortgage rates were under 4% for the better part of the past decade, many homebuyers locked in far more affordable rates than what's on offer in today's environment. And sellers aren't exactly coming down on price—home prices are still increasing, just more slowly than they did during the height of the pandemic. The median sale price in October was $413,874, according to Redfin, 3.5% higher than the year before.
