This is also true for people from lower income brackets and those who work in physically intense jobs, she added.

她补充说，低收入阶层和从事高强度体力工作的人也是如此。

The deficit that we are talking about is in the medium to lower income bracket, and we don't seem to be doing well in that area.

我们谈论的赤字属于中低收入阶层，我们在这一领域似乎做得不好。

The rule works really well for people within the lower income brackets, between $100 - $6000. It's however not ideal for high-income earners because they would be forced to spend unnecessary money on needs.

这条规则很适合收入在100美元到6000美元之间的低收入人群，但对高收入人群就不太适合了，因为他们会被迫在“生存必需”方面花费不必要的钱。

So it's true that people in the lowest income bracket have earned a little more money in the last 40 years, but in the last 20 years, that average income has been falling.

因此，在过去 40 年中， 收入最低阶层的人确实赚了一点钱，但在过去 20 年中， 平均收入一直在下降。
