Is this based on income before or after taxes?
- penguindev 12y agoBefore. http://www.census.gov/prod/techdoc/cps/cpsmar12.pdf http://www.census.gov/prod/techdoc/cps/cpsmar12.pdf "Data on consumer income collected in the CPS by the Census Bureau cover money income received (exclusive of certain money receipts such as capital gains) before payments for personal income taxes, Social Security, union dues, ..." edit: the data source appears to be the "Table P-8. Age—People by Median Income and Sex" (all races) here: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/data/historical/people/ http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/data/historical/people...
