Income gap – no comment
Can I ask ya for a favor?
Will you post data on wage earners by quintile? That is, in the bottom 20%, what % of those families have 4 or 3 or 1 wage earner?

Yes.
However, having zero wage earners would lead to greater explanation in the same manner.

Taxable income. Wages are a part of that.
