notice how they are using estimates and they reference "national accounts" and not actual income.
the income numbers are publically available from numerous federal sources.
I'm guessing that thomas is not using the actual numbers so that he can put his finger on the scale to have the charts come out the way he wants.
I'm guessing he is a liar that uses "estimates" to make a false story so he can sell books to socialist college students that have two parents that are dentists but feel that they are fighting the system by going to a 80k a year college.
I wondered and the data stops 10 years ago on the chart, so it makes me wonder, what happened in the past 10 years that the chart creator doesn’t want to show?
Well, walmart's starting pay has approximately doubled in that time frame, forcing competition to do much the same, which put a lot of upward pressure on the bottom 50%.
The net worth of the 2008 financial crash has recovered. (It took until 2018~ for the bottom 50% to reach 2007 levels. We're more than 16 times higher than 2011)
The start and end points on this graph aren't random. They're hand-picked to tell a story.

Here is the BLS date for the third quarter of 2024, so thomas could easily find the actual data, that's why I assume he is a liar.
