Over 1/3 of American families now have over $150,000 of income, the first time in history (yes, it's adjusted for inflation)

A chart showing the distribution of American family incomes over time from 1970 to 2023. Three shaded bands represent income categories: $150,000 or greater in light blue, between $50,000 and $150,000 in medium blue, and $50,000 or less in dark blue. Percentages are displayed for each category in 2023: 33.8% for $150,000 or greater, 45.2% for $50,000 to $150,000, and 21.0% for $50,000 or less. The title reads "The Middle and Lower Classes Have Been Shrinking, Because American Families Are Moving Up" with a note "Yes, It\'s Adjusted for Inflation." A watermark from Jeremy Horpedahl is visible.
