so Bill Gates' 12 Lambourginis translates into a higher quality of life for me? Explain.
How about instead, Bill Gates new, big house (more work for construction companies and electrical engineers, etc.) or expanded buisness (creation of more jobs).
Being rich and productive makes everyone better off. Being more productive decreases the prices of goods so more can afford them.

A greater population density is easier to serve. They are all concentrated, meaning you don't have to build everywhere (can leave it as forest, etc).

an average... but not an effective indicator of the vast majority of Americans...
for instance...
South Carolina Geography majors are projected to have a significantly higher salary than their national counterparts. The reason? Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Outliers generally screw up averages. You think MJ's success has any bearing on the general success of SC geography majors?
