U.S. citizens with a professional degree had the highest median household income in 2023, at 172,100 U.S. dollars. In comparison, those with less than a 9th grade education made significantly less money, at 35,690 U.S. dollars. Household income The median household income in the United States has fluctuated since 1990, but rose to around 70,000 U.S. dollars in 2021. Maryland had the highest median household income in the United States in 2021. Maryland’s high levels of wealth is due to several reasons, and includes the state's proximity to the nation's capital. Household income and ethnicity The median income of white non-Hispanic households in the United States had been on the rise since 1990, but declining since 2019. While income has also been on the rise, the median income of Hispanic households was much lower than those of white, non-Hispanic private households. However, the median income of Black households is even lower than Hispanic households. Income inequality is a problem without an easy solution in the United States, especially since ethnicity is a contributing factor. Systemic racism contributes to the non-White population suffering from income inequality, which causes the opportunity for growth to stagnate.

This data collection contains information gathered in the Survey of Income and Education (SIE) conducted in April-July 1976 by the Census Bureau for the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). Although national estimates of the number of children in poverty were available each year from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS), those estimates were not statistically reliable on a state-by-state basis. In enacting the Educational Amendments of 1974, Congress mandated that HEW conduct a survey to obtain reliable state-by-state data on the numbers of school-age children in local areas with family incomes below the federal poverty level. This was the statistic that determined the amount of grant a local educational agency was entitled to under Title 1, Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. (Such funds were distributed by HEW's Office of Education.) The SIE was the survey created to fulfill that mandate. Its questions include those used in the Current Population Survey regarding current employment, past work experience, and income. Additional questions covering school enrollment, disability, health insurance, bilingualism, food stamp recipiency, assets, and housing costs enabled the study of the poverty concept and of program effectiveness in reaching target groups. Basic household information also was recorded, including tenure of unit (a determination of whether the occupants of the living quarters owned, rented, or occupied the unit without rent), type of unit, household language, and for each member of the household: age, sex, race, ethnicity, marital history, and education.

Employment income (in 2019 and 2020) by highest certificate, diploma or degree, for census divisions and municipalities.

Employment income (in 2019 and 2020) by major field of study and highest certificate, diploma or degree, for cities. Includes five-year age groups, for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program (PCEIP).

In 2023 the mean earnings of Bachelor's degree holders in the United States amounted to 86,970 U.S. dollars. People with higher education degrees tended to earn more than those without. For example, high school graduates, including those with a GED, had mean earnings of 46,720 U.S. dollars.

This data collection contains information from the Survey of Income and Education (SIE) conducted during the months of April through July of 1976 by the Census Bureau for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The original SIE file, SURVEY OF INCOME AND EDUCATION, 1976 (ICPSR 7634), was modified by the United States Commission of Civil Rights and consists of all the minority records and 1/8 of the majority from the original files. The records were made rectangular by combining three record types (household-level, family-level, and person-level) with lengths of 450 characters into a single record with a length of 846. Three variables have also been added to each record: group identification code, typical educational requirement for current occupation, and occupational prestige code. The survey served as a supplement to the yearly Current Population Survey and was conducted to obtain reliable state-by-state data on the numbers of children in local areas with family incomes below the federal poverty level. The information was used to facilitate Title 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The SIE includes questions used in the Current Population Survey and also contains additional exclusive questions covering school enrollment, disability, health insurance, bilingualism, food stamp recipiency, assets, and housing costs. The SIE modified file was provided by the National Chicano Research Network, which was located at the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan.

In 2023, the mean income of Black Bachelor's degree holders was ****** U.S. dollars, compared to ****** U.S. dollars for White Americans with a Bachelor's degree.

In the United States, women holding a bachelor's degree earned, on average, 1,352 U.S. dollars per week in the second quarter of 2024. This can be compared with male bachelor's degree holders who on average earn 1,757 U.S dollars.

In 2023, the average income of women with a university degree in Brazil was ***** Brazilian reals per month. For men with the same degree, the average income was ***** reals. At all levels of education, Brazilian men's earnings were higher than those of their female counterparts.

The 2020-2021 School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates are based on school locations from the 2020-2021 Common Core of Data (CCD) school file and income data from families with children ages 5 to 17 in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017-2021 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year collection. The ACS is a continuous household survey that collects social, demographic, economic, and housing information from the population in the United States each month. The Census Bureau calculates the income-to-poverty ratio (IPR) based on money income reported for families relative to the poverty thresholds, which are determined based on the family size and structure. Noncash benefits (such as food stamps and housing subsidies) are excluded, as are capital gains and losses. The IPR is the percentage of family income that is above or below the federal poverty level. The IPR indicator ranges from 0 to a top-coded value of 999. A family with income at the poverty threshold has an IPR value of 100. The estimates in this file reflect the IPR for the neighborhoods around schools which may be different from the neighborhood conditions of students enrolled in schools.All information contained in this file is in the public domain. Data users are advised to review NCES program documentation and feature class metadata to understand the limitations and appropriate use of these data.

This dataset accompanies the tables ‘Household income and saving in the National Accounts: distributions by income quintile’ and ‘Household consumption in the National Accounts: distributions by income quintile’ and presents the number of individuals belonging to households in each quintile broken down by the highest level of education achieved.

   Households are grouped into income quintiles on the basis of their equivalised disposable income, ranked from lowest to highest, i.e., the first quintile represents the 20% households with the lowest equivalised disposable income and the fifth quintile the 20% households with the highest. Equivalisation means that results for each household have been recalculated on the basis of its consumption needs, in order to produce comparable results across households of different size and composition. <br><br>

   The education levels are derived on the basis of the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) which distinguishes the following categories: 0) less than primary education, 1) primary education, 2) lower secondary education, 3) upper secondary education, 4) post-secondary non-tertiary education, 5) short-cycle tertiary education, 6) bachelor’s or equivalent level, 7) master’s or equivalent level, 8) doctoral or equivalent level. <br><br>

   The default view of this table is for a single country (‘Reference area’ filter) and single year (‘Time period’ filter). In cases where countries appear to be greyed-out, data may be available for earlier years, and these can be selected by selecting a different start and end year in the ‘Time period’ filter. <br><br>
