Note that animals are uninterested in food lying on the ground. Using wheat or other items (carrots, and seeds) to breed animals that give food (cows, mooshrooms, pigs, chickens) is a way of getting more efficient food than bread or carrots.
Average Salary Information for US Workers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median wage for workers in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $849 per week or $44,148 per year for a 40-hour work week. Wages were 2.9% higher than at the same date for the previous year, a gain of 1.8%.
Each figure is a mean amount, so if wages seem a little high, you can probably blame disproportionally high salaries among each country's wealthiest. To put things in perspective, the U.S. has a mean monthly income of $4,240 according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Take a look at which Europeans are on a par with that.
