NYTimes: Calculating America’s Wealth

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.
