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. |

Median income, add part timers, retirees, disabled, unemployed, welfare it goes down big time fast. Question is do they also include people not seeking work? They might, especially from a fleabagger rag that liberally discards such relevant details. -- Socialism is a great ideal as long as someone else pays for it. And when no one is left to pay for it, they all can share nothing. |

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. The "median income" is the median of everyone, working or not working in the US over the age of 14. (google it) Well that explains it, so 14 18 year olds in school making nothing offset the higher incomes. Including retirees and the like too. Zero rate interest in zero rate economies don't generate much income on retirement savings people might have. Or the unemployable crack junkies. A fleabagger number. Household income is more relevant and that is the median of all households, working or not working. That comes in at the $54k or whatever. That sounds better. I am not sure how they score retirees liquidating their investments, collecting pensions and collecting Social Security. Bet they consider it income. It's a fleabagger number for sure... Yeah, the income is doing just freakin' great. Thanks to the Republican senate's stealth vote at 1 a.m. this morning nothing will get done to help. |

So, if one person has zero income and another has a million dollar income, the median is $500,000. Perhaps they're talking about the 'mean' income? Whoops! I just read that and realized my boo-boo! Guess I'll go rake leaves and forget the math crap. |
