Hello all!

I'm hoping you will be able to direct me to sources of raw income1 / employment data. Hopefully this thread can be a help to others who have similar needs in the future, as well.

(I did a quick search for a similar thread and didn't find anything - please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Here are the sources I have so far. I welcome your comments and any sources you would recommend.

  1. Bureau of Labor Statistics: http://www.bls.gov/data/
  2. United States Census Bureau: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/data/earnings/
  3. ..
  4. ..
  5. ..


Note 1: Although it was not the intent of my first sentence, I would welcome any direction to sources of raw income. :)

What do you mean by the term "raw income"?
 
I mean data that is in table form, rather than just a graph or a set of percentages. That way one can actually use the data.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
