    Obama's employed are slightly above the poverty line.

    Don't forget labor participation rates while you gurgle on Reagan's ballzak.
    You mean all the people who quit trying to find work and are no longer counted? So there's that.
    Same methodology as when Reagan was president.

    Except @HoustonHusky thinks the formula changed drastically, when really it didn't. There's been minor changes, but nothing that significantly impacts the number.
    I seem to remember the methodology changing as recently as the October before Obama's re-election.

    Then post a link and document the change.

    Obama's employed are slightly above the poverty line.

    Median household income in constant 2012 dollars is higher now than it was in the 80's (though it has decreased since the recession).

    I'm sure inflation has no part in this equation.

    That's some spectacular Cuog math

    To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number.

    Example: find the Median of {13, 23, 11, 16, 15, 10, 26}.

    Put them in order: {10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 23, 26}

    The middle number is 15, so the median is 15.


    Let's keep it simple to show what a deceptive pile of shit you are spewing forth:

    1980 median: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20

    2012 median 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21
