Income levels are like how many candies you get at the end of the day, some people get a few, and some get a lot.
Imagine you and your friends all work at the same candy store. Every day, you count how many candies you sell. At the end of the week, you get income based on how many candies you sold. If you sold a lot, you get more candies, that’s a high income level. If you only sold a few, you get fewer candies, that’s a low income level.
How income levels work
Think of the candy store as your job. Some people have jobs where they sell many candies every day, like the boss who helps everyone and gets extra candies for being fair. That person has a high income level. Others might just help count candies once in a while, that’s a low income level.
Sometimes, families get more candies than others because of things like how big their family is or if they live far from the store. So, income levels can change depending on where you live and what your job is like. Income levels are like how many candies you get at the end of the day, some people get a few, and some get a lot.
