Income and education level Each March, the Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles an Annual Demographic Supplement to its monthly Current Population Survey.44 Data on about 71,067 individuals between the ages of 25 and 64 who were employed full-time were collected in one of these surveys. The boxplots below compare the distributions of income for people with five levels of education. This figure is a variation of the boxplot idea: because large data sets often contain very extreme observations, we omitted the individuals in each category with the top 5% and bottom 5% of incomes. Write a brief description of how the distribution of income changes with the highest level of education reached. Give specifics from the graphs to support your statements.
