- dragonwriter 5y agoMedian full-time worker weekly pay projected on an annual (52 week) basis for Q3 2021 is $52,156 (52 × $1,003).
- robocat 5y agoAre you sure children are included? “The Census calculates per capita income by taking the total income for the previous year for everyone 15 years and older.” - https://www.thebalance.com/income-per-capita-calculation-and-u-s-statistics-3305852 https://www.thebalance.com/income-per-capita-calculation-and... The census specifically doesn’t ask for income for children below 15, so perhaps that is the meaning of the sentence above, and per capita calculation does include kids as $0 income for calculating median - although that would be weird IMHO. Unclear, and I got bored looking for exact details, so gave up quickly!
