I'm Jess. By day I cook up great ideas and saute them into sweet visuals. By night, I pretty much do the same thing although I also try to make room for some Law and Order. My work has been in magazines, art galleries, and on national television. When I am not knee deep in data you can find me playing video games, building snow forts, looking for my car keys, or just hanging out with my wonderful wife, two kids, two cats, two fish, and one dog. I'm 28.
It's good enough for Barry Ritholz, it's good enough for you.
What's with you and the ad hominem attacks - even on graphics artists? Do you know the guy?
padcrasher, could you please link to the ritholz.com html page that links to that jpg?
Oh please.
A. I didn't attack Mr. snow fort builder, I simply posted his online resume that clearly shows a lack of depth.
Do you know him that you would feel the need to take up in his defense with such feigned indignation?
B. padcrasher is one of the most abrasive attack artists on cd, have you ever admonished him?

I dont understand the association you make between Josh-whatever's biography and his ability to build a competent graph.
Barry Ritholz likes the graph; that's validity enough for me and should be for you. Do you know finance better than he does?
Oooh! I havent gotten to use my autoreply for several days! Hold on... I have a standard reply when people -- always rightwingers, oddly -- make the big discovery about my username and feel compelled to bring it to my attention in some elephantine way. Okay, here.
"Oh, I get it! Hey, that's pretty bright of you, [irishvanguard]. I never noticed how I'd designed my username until you pointed it out for me. Thanks!"
Now there is no denying that living standards for most people increased in the post war period. But not everyone has been affected equally by the economic changes since WWII. Furthermore, what many people do not realize is that around 1973, the rising tide that had lifted all boats, suddenly beached a few yachts on the top of a rising volcano of wealth and income, and left the vast majority of remaining boats to gradually sink with the receding tide. Four fifths of the U.S. population has experienced either stagnant or fallingrealwagessince1973. The average worker in 1991 earned (in constant 1982-4 dollars) $260.37 a week compared to $308.03 a week in 1973. This meant that the average worker in 1991 earned the same as the average worker in 1962. (Peterson, p. 37.) The only thing which has given many families the appearance of economic progress is the doubling of the number of dual earner families. That is, only Mom moving into the workforce has allowed the overwhelming majority of families to stay even or get ahead at all. Indeed, "between 1979 and 1989, women's earnings jumped by 27.4 percent, while the earnings of men rose by only 2.3 percent." (Peterson, p. 73.)

Because his name is the only one on it.
The graph does not list anyother source for the material nor the data on it.

You couldn't answer the question honestly without revealing your hypocrisy.
