U.S. Income Gap Rose, Sign of Uneven Recovery

That drop poses a political challenge for President Obama as he presents himself as a champion of the middle class and defends his economic stewardship in a tightly fought presidential race.

If you want the in the actual answer to "why non-profits are grouped with household data", you would read my post 26 above?

And you would see the reason has NOTHING to do with what you posted!
