This is specifically comparing households makING (not indiviudals who MADE) $150K+ That's the whole problem - that's why it's reflexive. This is NOT a comparison of income-segmented populations by unemployment rate that are cet par comparable, so take your shrugs to the idiots who thought this was meaningful, not the one who pointed out it wasn't.

DIRECT QUOTE
"The Center analyzed the labor conditions faced by income-grouped U.S. households during the fourth quarter of 2009.

In the face of one of the worst economic environments in memory, those in the highest income groups had nearly full employment levels, with just a 3.2 percent unemployment rate for households"

Notice it IS houeholds (as I said) Notice it IS present tense (as I said) and notice there is absolutely NO HINT WHATSOEVER of past income (like you claimed)

Did you actually read this or just what to whien about what you thought I got wrong based on assumptions you never checked?
