How Much Do You Make - Survey Results

The final results are in for the PFStock annual income poll in the sidebar. I've asked readers to respond to the question: "How much do you make?" There were 76 responses in all. Here are the final poll results for PFStock's current income survey:

How Much Do You Make (September 2012 Results)

Annual Income	2011 Survey	2012 Survey
less than $50k	8%	13%
$50k-$99k	25%	27%
$100k-$149k	27%	28%
$150k-$199k	11%	17%
$200k-$249k	8%	7%
$250k and higher	18%	5%

Note that the percentages do not add up to 100% due to rounding. From these statistics, I found that there has been a big decrease in the number of respondents who claim to make more than $200k per year. This makes wonder if people are feeling less rich this year. Does anybody have a comment on this statement?

The last time that I published annual income survey results was in my April 2011 post on the topic. In comparing these statistics, I see that there is a bit of a shift away from the higher income ranges. Does this mean that the economy is once again stagnating in 2012?
