Everything Is Stratified

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 19, 2015

The American Profile Poster packs a lot of information into one sheet: who makes what income, who has which degrees, who lives with whom, what jobs they have, and more.

Thankfully, the graphic comes with a book to explain it all.

Stephen Rose, research professor at the George Washington Institute of Public Policy who writes the "Counterintuition" column for Republic 3.0, is author of Social Stratification in the United States: The American Profile Poster (The New Press, 2015).
