The average wage for all here (in USD) was 60k in 2007, and likely higher now. If there was ever a better reason for a decent minimum wage in the United States, this has to be it. $5-7/ hr is insane. It’s US$12.85 here, and I’m buggered how ppl can live on that, let alone $5-$7.
I’m still confused as to why the Asian salary is graphed from 2002.
Something doesn’t seem right, but when I look at the breakdown on WikiP it makes sense. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_middle_class#Income
Perhaps we are confused since we are associated with those with high incomes? My friends salaries start about 45k and go all the way up to seven + figures…
Too many variables, the questions won’t stop — I need to understand The United States Census in order to determine.
I can’t get over how low those figures are.
Even the white male figure.

I actually know the guys who make these graphs. I will let them know that you featured them on your blog :)
