What percent of US Households have INCOMES under $75,000?

[JanMichael]

Without looking it up what percentage of US households (There are 112,000,000 or so in the US) do you think have incomes under $75,000?

1. I am guessing 85%...

Will you be telling us the answer?

4. You were close. Actually 83% of US households have incomes under...

...$100,000.

3. I keep hearing that on,y 10% earn over $200,000, so 85% under

$112,000 seems realistic.

You should do another poll asking the duers what catagory they fall into. ie: under $20,000: 20,000 to 30,000: 30,000 to 50,000.

Or maybe nobody would want to reveal that.

5. I Agree..

Let's do a DU poll.

8. I can't start one. You have to be a paying member of DU.

Maybe someone else who can will give it a shot.

6. 5% of households earn over $200,000.

Give or take a fraction of a point.

7. its hard work, being in that middle bracket

no joke about it either, extremely hard work that would probably kill the average freeper.

9. Or may be

are you in the the same class now as you were 4 years ago. In NJ four years ago, I was upper mid (my wife made most of it) Today, by myself I'm below poverty level. That's because I chose not to work for pay until the giggling murder monkey is gone (and the rest of the BFEE}.

10. Those have been done recently. I'm trying to think of the next thread...

...to create over the Census numbers.

Maybe "# HOUSEHOLDS UNDER $40,000"? It's high.
