Show me the money!

Note - the figures in question 3 are _gross_ income, before tax.
Also - if you earn more than £49k then tick the £49k box.
[Poll #1429637]

Those figures are the income percentiles for the fully employed UK workers, which you can get from here. If you're in the second group (£312 a week) then at least 10% of the population earn less than you, if you're in the third group then at least 20% of the population earns less than you. If you're in the first group then your life sucks.
Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] red_phil for the link.

Okay, that's really weird. So you've got 11 intervals, but broken down unevenly, and not including a median. How utterly bizarre.

Oh, not blaming you. Just bemused by the ONS...

Quartiles are in because us statisticians use them a lot :)

It is a bit strange to stick them in with the deciles without flagging them though.
