America is called the world's wealthiest country. But how rich is it? Digg discovered a new infographic that investigates the average household income of 36 countries at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). As you can see from the picture below, the United States is fairly rich on average on average, compared with most other countries.
Infographics investigates the financial situation at two different levels. The size of each bubble corresponds to the wealth of the family, that is, the asset minus the debt. This means taking savings, stocks, other financial assets, and loans into account. (We do not include enormous wealth growth due to having a penthouse overlooking Central Park in New York City because assets held because of lack of data are not included.) As you can see, the US bubble It is very big. Outlier On average, the net worth of American households is $ 176,100, the net wealth for the second richest country on the map is only $ 128,400.
The color of the bubble corresponds to "Family's net adjusted disposable income". This is related to the money you bring every year, not the money you own, as stated in the OECD. This includes wages, stock dividends, rental income, as well as government benefits (social security, unemployment, food stamps, home subsidies, etc.). Also consider the tax of each household and provide a snapshot of actual wages that people can actually pay, not pre-tax wages.
Wages in the United States are relatively high, and disposable income is $ 44,000 per year (highest). Only Switzerland, Luxembourg and Norway have disposable income levels in excess of $ 35,000. Mexico is at the lowest level and the average adjusted disposable income is less than $ 15,000. Prices in most parts of Western Europe range from $ 25,100 to $ 30,000, with lower incomes in Eastern Europe, Israel, South Korea and New Zealand.
However, there are many possibilities behind this data. Since the US economy is increasingly hierarchical, the average seems to be very high, but it may be because a few of our milliona distort the figures. In the United States there is a relatively high salary and in some cases a lower tax, as there is no social safety net that the government provides in most other parts of the world, but due to medical and retirement You need to pay.

For the concept of New York compared to other parts of the world, the graph below shows data on comparable transportation systems of the major cities of the United States and the world, the data of the United States from the National Transportation Database, the data of Europe It is from the International Metro Community (CoMET) including New York City. The reason for high maintenance and maintenance expenses of the transportation line is simple. The New York subway operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Other systems such as London Underground, Washington, DC Subway were shut down for maintenance overnight, but NYCT was not closed. Instead, it must keep track of some of the weekend's outages. Then, the workers ride on the track and run the train to the adjacent railroad tracks. For safety reasons, every time a train passes through a neighboring track, workers on orbit must suspend what they are doing.
