Income for males 1970-1989

| Year | Total Population | Working (or Receiving Income) | Percent Working | Median Income |
| 1970 | 70.6 | 65.0 | 92.1 | 22,468 |
| 1975 | 77.6 | 71.2 | 91.8 | 21,507 |
| 1980 | 82.9 | 78.7 | 94.9 | 19,875 |
| 1981 | 84.0 | 79.7 | 94.9 | 19,372 |
| 1982 | 85.0 | 79.7 | 93.8 | 18,894 |

| 1987 | 90.3 | 85.7 | 94.9 | 20,463 |
| 1988 | 91.0 | 86.6 | 95.2 | 20,890 |
| 1989 | 92.0 | 87.5 | 95.1 | 20,968 |
Note the reversal of declining median income during the Reagan Years. Contrary to those who say "income has declined since 1970", the truth is that income declined until the Reagan Years, and increased during them!
