Posted on

“Want to join the top 1 percent of incomes earners in Colorado? The price of admission is a household income of $458,576 a year, according to a study on income inequality from the Economic Policy Institute. The median income for that elite group is closer to $1.26 million a year, or 20.6 times the median income of $61,165 for the remaining 99 percent. About 17.2 percent of the income earned in the state accrues to that small group.”
