Sources of Income for Top 0.01 Percent (excluding capital gains)

by Catherine Mulbrandon

In my earlier post I plotted the percentage of income that comes from capital gains for the Top 0.01 percent. (In 2005 it was 18% if you exclude capital gains when determining the Top 0.01 percent and 51% if you include capital gains when determining the Top 0.01 percent).

In the graphs below, I have plotted the other income sources for Top 0.01% (excluding capital gains when you rank the families). The question I am trying to answer: since most of the income was not from capital gains in the original graph, what are the sources of the unaccounted for income?

The income data can be found on Emmanuel Saez’s web site.

Just curious. Found your site while researching average incomes and the growing percentage of retirees that are remaining in the workforce out of financial necessity. Interesting data that you have been able to put together, in a manner that is easy to read and understand. Thank you, from someone who is more “creative” than “technical”. You make life simpler for us!
