Abstract: The latest Census data on American incomes drove home a troubling fact: people arent making as much as they once did. The median household income in the United States in 2013 was $51,939, down 8 percent from 2007 when adjusted for inflation. Though the recession technically ended several years ago, large numbers of people continue to suffer from flat wages and rising prices. But while the middle class continues to suffer, many slices of the population are doing better. Using individual-level Census data for 2008 to 2012--15 million records in total--TIME crunched the numbers for every demographic by gender, age, education and marital status. The following calculator will tell you how your salary stacks up and how thats changed over time. (The information you enter is not recorded. In fact, it never leaves your computer.)
