Web-Based Questions
- Web-Based Question: Personal distribution
of income-what is the trend? Visit the U.S. Census Bureau website
at www.census.gov/hhes/income/midclass/index.mhtmll
and select Data. Since 1969, how has the share of aggregate household income
received by the lowest and highest income quintiles (fifths) changed?
- Web-Based Question: States taxes and expenditures
per capita-where does your state rank? Go to the Census Bureau site,
www.census.gov/govs/www/state.html,
and find the table that ranks the states by tax revenue and expenditures per
capita for the latest year. Where does your home state rank in each category?
Where does the state in which you are attending college, if different, rank?
Speculate as to why there is such a gap between the high-ranking and low-ranking
states.
