A Reminder about Income Inequality in the US

The overwhelming majority of American households make less than $100,000.

• If you make $50,000 and, let's say your married, your spouse makes $50,000, then you make more than about 80% of American households (Census 2008).
• If you make $75,000 and your spouse makes $75,000, then you are in the top 8% of income earning households in the US (Census 2008).
• If you make $125,000 and your spouse makes $125,000, then you are in the top 2% of income earning households in the US (Census 2008).
