“Still, schmucks or not, working Hollywood writers (emphasis on the working) are highly paid privileged individuals compared to most of the world. Even minimum wages – which few make – are decidedly upper middle class and include rather good health insurance and a decent pension plan (which, like almost all similar plans, is contingent on the continued health of that industry and union).”

Out of curiosity, could you share the compensation range from minimum to greatest for our gifted guild of screenwriters, as well as their median income? I’m interested to know what you consider to be “upper middle class.”
