I wanted to try out the new Tableau Public so I took the Average Tax Rates I calculated for my Comparing Rates by Income series and created this little graph. A couple disclaimers: I am assuming standard deduction and exemptions for the children and/or spouse in each example. Also I am combining all the taxes applied to your salary including: Income, Social Security, Medicare, and Payroll (paid by your employer).
Since this is a live, interactive chart you can hide/show each line using the check boxes at the bottom of the graph.
A breakdown of employment by different industries and along with unemployment statistics. Although some of the graphs are a little confusing, if you look at the last graph you can see the unemployment rate by sector, 2009 vs 2010. Red bars means the rate was going up blue bars the rate was going down.
Although the graphic is nothing special you don’t see this data very often. Change in overall wealth (not income). The rich suffered a smaller percentage decline than did the bottom 90% from 2007-2009.
