I really don't know why you are being down voted for this comment, which seems like a reasonable interpretation of the data...can someone provide some explanation for their disagreement?
- malyk 13y agoThanks. I'm not sure either. It's my impression that most people, maybe not on HN, but most people, think of the "top 1%" as people who make absurd amounts of money. But the reality is that it "only" takes $383,000 to be in the top 1% of earners. It's dishonest to present the stats about how many people make it into the top percentiles for at least a year without stating what those percentiles are.
