Connecticut is the highest, most likely due to its financial industry.
It’s wild to think about.
This is just one in every 100 income earners. If attendance at a smallish sporting event was truly random, including about 1000 people, a whole table or row of 10 ish people would make this much money or more.
But how many of us have ever even had a conversation with anyone who makes this much, let alone have any as friends. I guess someone has to live in the 2+ million dollar houses downtown and they must be pretty insular.
What is up with Kentucky? I’m surprised it is that high.
CONNECTICUT NUMBER ONE WOOOOO
These guys are still way closer to us than they are to billionaires, right? Even the $1 mil a year guys. I don’t think you can reliably 1000x your income investing.
Glad to see statistics showing me I am nowhere near the 1%. 🤣🤣
For Nebraska, the household number is over double the individual number. Wonder what in the data caused that – any ideas?
