I was looking at some old job ads from 2010 and the pay difference is wild

I was cleaning out a folder and found a printout for a marketing coordinator job I applied to back in 2010. The salary was listed at $38,000. Out of curiosity, I looked up a similar role on a job board today. The average is now around $55,000. I know inflation is a thing, but seeing the actual numbers side by side really hit me. How do you even figure out what a fair salary is for an older job title now?

Appreciation post: I keep seeing people call the dancing baby a 2000s meme, but it was all over our 1996 AOL homepage.

The 3D model was from 1996, and it spread through email chains and sites like Angelfire way before YouTube existed, which matters because it shows how pre-social media virality worked.

My curling iron blew a fuse in the middle of a wedding party last Saturday. Had to finish three updos with a flat iron and a prayer.

I was downloading a 4mb mp3 on a 56k modem in '98 and the connection kept dropping. My friend from school told me to rename the file extension to .txt while it downloaded and then change it back after. It actually WORKED, no more corrupt files.
