Good News for the Average Man - John A Halford - May 1980

John A Halford

INTERNATIONAL DESK: THE CHANCES are most Plain Truth readers consider themselves to be average people. And the chances are they are completely wrong! It takes the average American worker 12 1/2 hours of labor to earn the money to feed his average family of four for a week, the statisticians tell us. He needs another 20 hours to buy a suit, but only 22 minutes to buy his wife a pair of hose. If you are an average Canadian, Australian or West European it will take you a little longer. Yet the average person in the industrialized world has his problems these days. Inflation eats into his pay packet. His home is becoming harder to buy and maintain. Even so very few of our readers are average. The reason is simple to understand. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
