Half of America makes more than that now. Though not by much.

It's tough because the snopes article moves between individual and household income amounts--which are two very different things. Kinda wish articles were written more clearly, and provided contextual data regarding how many households have multiple earners.
This has been driving me crazy. I try to compare the median income in the twin cities and it always provides the median household income. Why is it so difficult to find indivual median income for regions.
