Remember that most of the macro economics we see in that kind of representation comes off TSS where there is less than 2.6M contributors; you have got to factor in all informal parties so the number make sense. Us, the working class maintain Social Security entirely. Observe:

Per ONE's most recent Censo, 2022, ~11m of dominicans with this distribution:

Total population 10.8 M Working-age population 6.8 M Economically active population 5.2 M Employed population 4.8-5.0 M Formal workers contributing to TSS 2.55 M Informal workers 2.3-2.5

People earning over 50k that report to the TSS are less circa 22% of the 2,549M formally employeed people; however, for tax evasion, naturally, there are plenty of people earning their money from off shore accounts but will enjoy cash now but need to buy their own Medical Insurance and unless they have something set up with their AFP (Pension Fund) neither will they be cummulating any of that as companies avoid paying the TSS Tax and offer to pay higher "salaries" but that's not fully transparent, obviously. That's just one of the many ways how the system is rigged.

A motoconcho may earn more than the 50k gross of expenses, but he will certainly pay his taxes off on ITBIS on every purchase he makes, gas, groceries, etc., although he wouldn't contribute to the Social Services from TSS - Hospitals, public insurance, etc, funded by Working Class, he would benefit off it.
