Aranda Sat, 07 Oct 2006 14:18:21 +0000 http://www.visualizingeconomics.com/2006/10/01/incomegdp-ratio/#comment-23 Thanks for the graphs! The relationship between income and access to resources seems to have become more complicated. At one end are the services restricted to some of those in the lowest quartile. While the value of day care and job training might not alter the chart, subsidized medical care and housing are significant. At the other end are lifestyle business people, dollar-a-year CEOs, and university professors, who have access to resources well beyond their personal or household incomes. K Thanks for the graphs!

Look at the preceeding post for changes in workers per houshold and tax units. The numbers are tax units, from the IRS personal income returns, Corporate returns are not included.

A quick question, is this population or households? If its households, do the changing number of workers per houshold affect the graph in any meaningful way? Great charts, thanks for putting them up.

I love graphs. :] I have a suggestion, and being an outsider I don't know how easy or hard it is to implement. My suggestion is to have light gray vertical bars representing recessions. This is my first post here, and I don't see a preview button, so I am going to post an example link in two different formats. Sorry for the confusion. In the future I'll know which format works here. :] <a href="http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/DTB3?&cid=22" rel="nofollow">First format</a> Second format: http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/DTB3?&cid=22 Taking a look at my link with the gray recession bars it becomes clear that recessions "cause" (cough) short term interest rates to plummet. (Naturally the Fed does this in response to recessions.) Thanks for all the graphs in all your posts. I love graphs. :]
