My comment: Of the four jobs highlighted, only translator's "average salary" is $43,300 (a year), the other three are meager: bike mechanic $23,660, home-health aide $19,640, amd carpenter $25,760.

My comment: I was surprised by the statistics (in a billow of black smoke) in the upper right corner:
"2008 CO2 emission, metric tons per capita
China:5.2 tons  
US 17.3 tons"

Americans are productive (and wasting energy at the same time), because they use a lot of machinery: using a leaf blower instead of a bloom, for example. I do not know where Chinese produce all the carbon dioxide.
