There Are Only Two Answers to this Question

Wisconsin's median income has dropped more than two thousand dollars. Median is the center point between the highest and the lowest value. I don't think it really means much, to be honest. Just for fun, though, let's talk about what this could indicate:

1. The poorest people in the state just got a lot poorer. Considering that there are households on disability, government aid, or worse that can be effectively counted as zero income, I don't think the bottom number is what moved.

-OR-

2. The richest people in the state are leaving. Do you think they got sick of paying "their fair share" of taxes?
