You're Sooooo Middle Class

Where in the "middle class" do you fall?  Leave it to the New York Times to care.

An interactive graph lets you select your occupation, education, income, wealth - the tool will then show you where you rank against the rest of America according to U.S. Census data (as well as other sources).

I actually ranked a little higher than I figured I would.  And I don't mean that to brag (I'm hardly ready for East Egg).  I have a fairly mediocre salary, in my humble opinion, considering what I bring to the table.  In fact, let's be honest, I'm grossly underpaid.  But who's not, right?  Even if you're not, I tell myself that YOU are so I can sleep at night!

According to Wikipedia, the middle class are people who have a degree of economic independence, but not a great deal of social influence or power.   Do you care where you fall in the social hierarchy?
