Note: Earnings are wage and salary income. White refers to non-Hispanic whites, black refers to blacks alone, and Hispanic refers to Hispanics of any race. Asians are excluded from this figure due to the volatility of the series. Comparable data are not available prior to 1987 for whites and prior to 1974 for Hispanics. Shaded areas denote recessions.
