Shows info through 2009, as 2010 is still in progress.

Check your state, and see where you rank.

These are individual numbers - not household income totals...

Holy cow DC skews the results a bit with 66k a year!

woj · 08-30-2010, 08:34 PM

66k for DC is pretty high... you need a pretty decent job to earn that much...

I doubt that it's government jobs specifically that cause that difference... K Street alone earns over $3B annually. Lobbying and think tanks are big money. The Koch brothers alone have spent over a billion dollars on the above to fight HCR, Cap and Trade, etc, etc... not to mention the funds they pored into Tea Party rallies. Americans for Prosperity alone will spent $45M from now until November to defeat Democrats... after already spending an estimated $45M during primary season.

Should be interesting to see of the figures continue to rise in the 2010 update

look at the bible states, Missippi & Utah

Hawaii's a lot more expensive though, so there is a quality of life balance

All these numbers are pretty meaningless unless placed against Cost of Living figures. You could live in a place where everybody makes 100k, but if it costs 10 million for the crappiest house, you are in trouble....

Well, according to xmas13's link, the people of Utah are amongst the happiest in the country...

Proving once again, that money does not necessarily buy happiness.

Here is something that should trouble us all. If the nationwide average income according to that chart is 39K that means a person making that would bring home around $2400 per month after taxes (based on a 25% tax rate which includes federal, state and social security taxes). The average home cost 183K. So if the average person managed to put down 20% on the average home and had a mortgage of 5.5% and a property tax rate of 1.5% their monthly payment is about $1050 or about 44% of their income.

When you do the same math for 1970 you see that the average home cost about 23K the average annual income was 9.3K. So using the same numbers as above the average person buying the average home would only spend about 28% of their monthly income on their homes.

I have said all along that prices and credit have been the downfall of the middle class and I think this kind of shows what I have meant. It is quickly getting to the point where the average wage earner in this country can no longer afford the average house. Of course they still buy the average house, then they just use credit to pay for everything else and dig themselves into deep deep debt.

Add the rising cost of healthcare to that equation, and the picture gets even uglier.

Ron Bennett · 08-31-2010, 09:42 PM

Adjusting for inflation, the numbers aren't so hot, but not totally bad either.

However, a bigger issue not addressed in such statistics, even when measuring by per capita, is HOW MANY JOBS / HOURS did one work in 1980 verses 2009?

Many people back in 1980 worked 1 job at around 40 max hours per week, and often with decent benefits...

Contrast that to today in which many work more than 1 job and working 50-60 hours is common plus must pay a lot out of pocket for things that were once employer subsidized (ie. health benefits). When viewed in that context, the per capita income stats are far worse than they appear.

Not just that but the rising cost of everything, cars, food, gas, clothes, you name it. It seems like the price of just about everything has increased at a much faster rate than the average wage.

Dirty Dane · 08-31-2010, 11:51 PM

What is the average if you exclude the top 1-3% richer ones from the stats?

Nevada was the only state to decline from 2006 to 2009 ... - $400
