The median income fell in 2010 for the second year in a row to
$26,364, a 1.2 percent drop from 2009, and the lowest level since
1999, according to David Cay Johnston at Reuters.
Where's that from? Last I heard it was in the neighborhood of 54,000.00
a year. That figure was driven up by Wall Street and the Northeast
incomes.

It's a bull**** number, a German/Japanese/labor screwdriver as it were...


Agreed, as it is too politicked with government bull****.

Gross income, how many worked and hours worked -- all uncut without the BS.


I must have missed the post in which you revealed a C.V. indicating an
advanced degree in economics or statistics. Oh, wait...you understand
QuickBooks and you've stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.


Damn, caught two northern goobers in one troll.
