Yep, thank you very much for releasing the raw data too. I've just been playing with it a little, but here's some interesting factoids I've pulled out so far:
* The only people to mark "Private" as their income had at least a bachelor's degree.
* Out of the responders, the average income for people with a High School education was 58,967.73, some college was 70518.36, and a bachelor's degree was 72603.26 (Note that I removed anyone who marked >1 million as their income, since it skewed things massively).
* The median incomes were HS: 50,000, Some College: 55,000, Bachelor's: 65,000.
I also noticed that several people marked that they made $0 this year, but were not unemployed or students. Would anyone mind clarifying that one?
I marked self-employed and $0 because I'm working full-time on my own stuff and have no income. I'm living off of savings. (I actually considered putting -$6000, but decided that would be too weird :)
There were a few people who put a negative number, but the only one I saw when glancing through only put -1 (I would assume that was another joke number).
There are 5 -$1's and a -$15,000, from self-employed, student, or small business mostly. More interesting to me are the number of people (211) making $0<$5,000, reported mostly as unemployed or student. I wonder what the breakdown is among unemployed. How many are discouraged, actively seeking, or even retired?
