For 2006 according to the US Census Bureau Median Income family of four:
Connecticut: 93,831
Rhode Island: 78,189
New York: 75,513
Mass: 89,347
If you figure 50% are above this figure and 50% below, where the posters claim the middle class is are probably spot on. These figures will vary depending on where you live. Also these figures do not take into account COL which I would think spiked in 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 with the increase in energy prices.
