Top 20% seems way too high bc Its inflatet by the few very rich
So basically, if you’re in the top 75% of wage earners in the U.S., your income is higher on average than the next 14th largest economies in the world. Is that correct?
Brazil’s bottom 20% are worse off than India’s bottom 20%?! Goddamn, that’s some crazy poverty.
Americans are entitled though, they all deserve more.
Is this mean income? Median income would be much more appropriate.
Now do 1% and 0.1% for all of them.
chinese numbers are 100% fake
Data is beautiful, it’s also painting Russia to be more distributionally sound than murica here.
Redditors will look at this chart and find a way to blame capitalism for something.
So this is all crap, since the highest 1% / 0.1% are fudging the results.
In Germany the median income is at about 54K per Person
So like third 20%
If you make 150K, you’re in the top 0.1% in germany.Â
My numbers are from the federal buero of statistics in germany.
I want to see above after taxes
Is this household income? Seems very high for individuals…
In switzerland f.e. 200k puts you in the top 1%.
And in the US that‘s 20%??
What does PPP mean in this context?
Comparing India to Brazil truly shows how unequal Brazil actually is.

Why not label it as 80th percentile, 60th percentile. etc?
That graph could use some normalization over total income in order to facilitate easier comparisons.
Its finally nice to see a more meaningful statistic than simply “GDP of country x to z”
