The data available at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_States#Over_time,_by_ethnicity_and_sex appears not to be currently available. The stated source information, "Taken from World Almanac (in turn sourced to US Census Bureau)," is not sufficient to validate the data. If the information was previously correct, then it would be helpful to have more detailed information (e.g., "Taken from World Almanac in X year"). Otherwise, this should be updated with currently valid information. Riskanal (talk) 19:46, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I post this comment in hopes that someone with knowledge and the time to do it, will spend the effort and improve these charts to show 50 years as does the this chart. The first three charts in the article today cover 15 years, yet almost all workers will work 45 years, or more, 3 times longer. Full Social Security retirement is now 67. At high school graduation, 42% are 17-years-old. If they work till SS full retirement age that will be a working lifetime of 50 years, 3.5 times the length of these charts. If this article is going to illustrate how income changes, I think, it must show a time period equal to 100% of full working lifetime, not just 27% of a full working lifetime. If I can find the time I will redo these charts. Nick Beeson (talk) 20:37, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
