Summary:

This full-color book-and-poster set brings together primary data on income, wealth, race, and marital and occupational status to provide a vivid picture of the U.S. social structure. One thousand color-coded figures make it possible to compare social groups, and understand how income distribution relates to race, sex, education, and occupation. With graphics and careful explanations, the booklet shows how to make the most of the poster, and reveals through comparison the considerable changes in America's social landscape as we enter a new century.

Originally published in 1992, the American Profile Poster has become a staple in classrooms, homes, offices, and union halls.

Now updated with the most recent data, it offers critical insights into where we stand at the start of the new millenium.
