Reply to comment by tipjarman in W-2 Wage Distribution by Tax Bracket & Gender [OC] by takeasecond

I think "total wages" is "what percent of w-2 wages are in this range".

So sum every male w-2 in the bucket, then divide by total male w-2 wages.

So while 0.0004% # males in highest bucket, it accounted for 0.2% of all male money earned.

I think you mean FEMALE money earned in highest buckets but i get your drift. Interesting. So what information does this graph tell me?
