Can one congratulate the top earning groups without insulting the low earning groups? Surely the factors which lead to wealth distribution are not so binary.

Great chart, what's the url?

Proving your secularism ?

I did not see this chart insulting any religion. Its like saying don't blame XYZ Religion even if most (90%) of the terrorists belong to that group.

Old Chart - 2009. I am sure lot of changes have happened in the past one year for GOOD...

the 75k-99k people are very transient. Too bad this is only religion based, no surprises really but I'd like to see East Asians broken out.

Sanket,

If anything it insults Jews and Hindus... since we are seen as money focused. Also where is the "Godless Capitalist" slice?

I am sure Hindus & Jews are also contributing in Technology, science, etc. & we must be at the bottom of the crime stats list...

Not white collar. Definitely plenty of Jews go to jail. I'm sure many hindus too.

But the will to do well is very high in both communities, "well" being an open ended idea that positively correlates with wealth, but is not identical with it. I know some starving musician Jews. Geniuses, but poor like refugees.

I love the chart ....

Orthodox people doing well. I am very surprised that evangelical Christians fared worse than Muslims.

I'd like to see racial superiority proven by bumps on the head like in the good old days. The people most capable of giving others bumps on the head win!

If you'd done this 100 years ago, the Protestants would have beaten out everyone else.

I would imagine from my own experience that Muslims have higher education standards in this country since a number of them came over on scholarships or in order to study. Unfortunately, the Muslim population overseas is dismally undereducated, but here they go to the best schools and generally place education as a priority for their children.

Evangelicals have the advantage of finishing their studies faster since they only have about 5000 years of human history to worry about, no dinosaurs and no geology much older than a lava bed.
