Umm, you do realize that the top .001% of incomes going up will (with most distributions) raise the median income, even if the mode family income decreases?

- vorpalhex 6y agoThat is not a correct understanding of median, though median will not always show certain kinds of disparities. However you're going to have to provide evidence and data if you're making a particular claim here.
- jason0597 6y agoSorry, I don't understand. What you said may be true for mean (aka average), but the graph shows the median, not the mean.
