NYT Gives You a Scorecard on Income Growth and Distribution

by

The NYT has a very nice feature in today's paper, a calculator that allows you to see how wages have grown over the last four decades. You can make comparisons for a wide variety of demographic characteristics, occupations, and industries. You can even plus your own info in and see how you're doing compared to your peers. This is nice, it's giving people real information. That's what newspapers are supposed to do.

--Dean Baker
