I am now in the lower 1/3 and sinking fast. If I could find a job, I would unretire.
Can’t get it to work. Clicked through. Twice.
I went to the site, but couldn’t get it to work. Of course, I can figure it out from the charts, but not exact percent.
Uh? I’m in the top 50% of income earners by walking dogs and scooping poop. Interesting...LOL.
Seems like I’m in the middle, but I don’t feel like it.
I hope Obamacare doesn’t cause my wife’s hours to be cut back
Likewise. However, after the last census, I noe
i view the census as a tool of the Left , and inclined to view all of its work with distrust, as flawed.
And that, especially in view of its necessary constitutional functions.
That does sadden me.
To get real percentages, individual incomes need to be adjusted by the cost of living in their area.
$70K is pretty good in a lot of regions of the US, but not much at all in high-cost areas.
I’m in the top 90%.
Top 30% and once the Trillions the Fed has been sinking into making the Market soar comes home to roost, I’ll have to order TP on-line from Argentina and hope they can’t reach me to enforce payment of the debt.
Is there a graph that shows negatives?
Wouldn’t the IRS be a better source of the income levels in America? The census is ignored or fudged by many.
I fall within the 0 to 10% on purpose.;^)
Let’s see a chart comparing 2007 to 2012.

Reading those charts is near impossible. The “income” horrizontal bar is not equally spaced.
When I worked for the operator of a multiple fast food franchise, a big one, he once told us in a managers meeting that he had not pulled any profit out of the stores for over a year. All the sheeple were talking after the meeting, wringing their hands that they had to work harder(I already worked 60 hrs a week) to improve profitability because the owner wasn’t making profit. I called them the morons they were and pointed out the man never said he wasn’t making money and enlightened them that the last thing he wanted to do was show profit to the IRS.
Bottom 25% for entire household. Neat. /sigh
Ditto.
97.5% for my wife and I, but we’re taxed to death.
