不要說全美平均，就算在美國最窮的州，我的收入還是在中數以下。真是則令人喪氣的新聞。
更慘的是，看來 postdoc 也好不到哪裡去，身邊的 postdoc 說她算過扣稅扣完大概也只比我多了幾百塊錢而已。漫漫長路。
The Richest (and Poorest) Places in the U.S.
Maryland knocked New Jersey out of the top spot this year, while Mississippi and West Virginia were the poorest states in the Union.
The typical Maryland household earned $65,144 in 2006, propelling it past New Jersey, which came in second with earnings of $64,470, but had led the nation in 2005. Connecticut finished in third place both years, recording a median income of $63,422 in 2006.
Maryland's income was nearly double that of Mississippi, which, with a median of $34,473, was the nation's poorest state. West Virginia, where the median household earned $35,059, was second poorest and Arkansas, at $36,599, was third.
The median income for the United States as a whole came to $48,451.
