How Much Do Millenials Make In A Year (Ages 18-34)?

[PACOX]

Not a fresh article (not much would've changed in a year) but I saw the infographic on reddit and found it interesting

Millennials came of age during a tough economic time: Student debt has reached an all-time high, and the job market is more competitive than ever. As a result, young people today aren't earning as much money as their parents did when they were young. So how much are they making?

Using data from the Minnesota Population Center's 2014 "American Community Survey" in the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series, we found the median annual total personal income for employed millennials. We used the Pew Research Center's definition of millennials: Americans born between 1981 and 1997.

The medians ranged between a low of $18,000 per year in Montana and a high of $43,000 in the District of Columbia. How do you stack up?



Note that the youngest millennials are college-aged and may only be working part-time, which may skew the median downwards.

Below, we included the median annual personal income by state for all employees over age 17, also from the Minnesota Population Center's 2014 "American Community Survey" in the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series.

Read on to see how millennials compare to earners of all ages:

What they make, avg 15$/hr...

What they think they deserve? $80-100/hr.

Plus a participation trophy.

Can we have the real discussion that needs to be had here?

Who the hell was in charge of those color choices? And why is Alaska the only one using white font to combat the bad color choices?

I've found this infograph, that compares 30 year olds of now vs then.

@unfilteredJW

Because Alaska is the one state that could afford to change its font color.

[Xandrigity]

Ouch that sucks!

[NED funded]

At least we are educated.

And into the trash it goes.

Yeah, how dare those 32 year old want to make more money.

Gosh damn libtard millenials!

Why would they lump 18 year olds into the same bracket? I've been in my career for over a decade and a half and make six figures. John Doe just starting college won't be making that for years to come. Of course the results are skewed.

[Xandrigity]

It would be a better representation to say 18-25

[Konteil]

dunno but at 35 im doing about twice the average with a decent career. making things with my hands and nothing to do with womens studies. or computer programming tech whatever

I've been having similar thoughts. There is a huge disparity in just about everything when you look at both ends of the age spectrum of millennials.

I really was sitting here wondering how we could be that bad. Sure, there's a huge poverty problem on the reservation, but we also have a shitload of people in that age range that work in tech for the DoD/DoE here. I haven't been at my career as long, as I took longer than I should have on my M.S., but 18 year olds certainly aren't going to make anywhere near what I make.

20k seems about right for florida I was making 21k on my previous job and on my new job ill be making 24k

You make six figures and still spend most of your time here? Don't hurt me!
