DU Income Demographics Part Two

[Walt Starr]

Okay, we are seeing the income distribution in my other thread, so let's look at the breakdown:

Are you receiving an hourly wage, an annual salary, unemployed, or are you self employed? This one looks at individuals rather than households because it can vary wildly in a household

[NewYorkerfromMass]

1. need self employed choice. nt

[Walt Starr]

5. done

Thanks, forgot that as it usually is counted as salaried.

[JohnLocke]

12. Add "student" "underemployed" and "homemaker"

[Ysabel]

[Walt Starr]

3. Unemployed.

I'm a full-time student getting myself into a deeper debt.

[RobertSeattle]

[Walt Starr]

6. That will be self employed.

[coloktm]

11. How did * make you unemployed?

I've always been curious about this...How does a president get you unemployed? Did you work for the clinotn administration?

[Doogie]

22. Not quite sure about that one either

I think he pulled the "no jobs" lever on his first day in office.

I sure do hope he remembers to push it back soon, cause, I'm dying here.

Got laid off for the second time in my life (actually second time since 9/11), back in Sept., and still haven't found anything. Highly skilled, loads of experience, so the employers looking to fill lower skilled positions won't talk to me because my last salary was too high, or as soon as the market rebounds they figure I'll quit for something better.

Bleagh, unemployment blows.(edit for spelling)

[lovedems]

9. I stay at home with our kids. I wonder if that counts as self-employed!

It is a rewarding job but the pay sucks!

My husband is a salaried worker who is unemployed for the moment.

[Turbineguy]

10. Retired?

[Walt Starr]

14. Self Employed

If retired, you receive an income that you built through years of working and no longer have to work for somebody else, ergo, you are self employed.

[pnorman]

20. Me too, turbineguy good buddie.

Perhaps that could be listed on that poll as "Gainfully Unemployed"?

pnorman

[Skidmore]

15. Only for th e next year and a half am I

salaried, then the contract expires and I'm unemployed. No prospects of being renewed either at this point.

[maxanne]

16. I am both

an hourly worker and self employed. I have 3 jobs.

[Walt Starr]

18. wow

Put down the demographic for the one you put in the most hours for.

[Walt Starr]

17. Looks like a lot of DUers are overworked

I'm salaried and I know I put in at least 50 hours each week. some weeks it's closer to 80.

[mmonk]

19. self employed

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. I don;t make the $ in our home, hubby brings home about $25,000 per year

in hourly wages. And we have 2 kids.

Where's the option to check that? J/k! *lol*

[Walt Starr]

23. Walt is wacked in the head

That's my catch all choice.

:D

[SangamonTaylor]

24. I am a student who will be 60k in debt

when I graduate.

However, I look forward to working my ass off to bust out of the student loan hole and actually getting paid to work my ass off.

[Kanary]

25. How 'bout the ones the Dems still keep forgetting.... disabled, etc

Any type of assistance doesn't fit in to any of these categories.

Kanary, still invisible

[Walt Starr]
