1. The AVERAGE American family earns $57.60 and hour????
That is $119,808.00 per year. Is that really the Average family income in america? If so my family makes less than half of the Average american household. That really depresses me..:-(

10. I believe the computation is based on a 24 hour day.
Edited on Tue Feb-02-10 12:50 PM by Jim__
Since most people work about 8 hours a day, you can probably triple that to get some idea of the average hourly wage.

In 2008, US GDP was $14.2 trillion. Figuring 300 million Americans (probably a little low) the average income is about $47,000. The median income is probably less.

11. Lightning strikes the earth 360 times? ONLY 360 times?
Hell, last August 2 I had 1630 lightning GROUND strikes in six hours in my area of operation in one small part of one US National Forest!

Great chart, though. K&R

ZOT!
