NYTimes: Calculating America’s Wealth

by Catherine on June 15, 2007

in Uncategorized

The New York Times had an interactive graph that calculated income for different demographic groups. I have plotted people who dropped out of high school (bottom) with people who graduated college (top). It is important to note that the data is adjusted for inflation. What interested me is that not only has the advantages for getting a college degree increased but that the range of income for people with college degrees has increased.

Income Sources of top 0.01 percent

All Sources of Income for Top 0.01 Percent

by Catherine on June 3, 2007

in Other

In my earlier post on Sources of Income of the super rich I plotted the percentage of income that comes from wages, entrepreneurial income, dividend income, interest income, rental income, and capital gains for the Top 0.01 percent. Here I am posting the same data but this time all income sources are on the same graph.

All Income Sources of top 0.01 percent

A few items that caught my attention: the decline (starting in the 1930s) of the importance of Dividend income which was replaced in part by “Entrepreneurial” income then Capitals Gains and finally in the 60s by Wages. Also in the 70s and 80s Interest income becomes more important no doubt due to the high interest rates during those decades.

The income data can be found on Emmanuel Saez’s web site.
