median income figure

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert]

I was just wondering where Mr. Segal got his figure for $60,000 for the *median* income.  I can guarantee you that the median income is not $60,000.  The *mean* (or average) income may be $60,000, but, in the United States, since there is such a large gap between the very rich and the middle class (skewed left in statistics parlance), the median income will necessarily be lower than the mean income.

Please correct this in future programs.

It seems like this is to-be -- we'll be food shopping tomorrow morning.
Then, Saturday night can be played by ear.

Sounds complicated.
