Middle Class Disappearing in NYC?

The middle class is fast becoming an endangered species in New York City, the NY Post reports. Almost all those polled - 92 percent - said it's harder for families today to work their way into the middle class, which the survey found requires an income between $75,000 and $135,000! The city's median family income is reported as $49,374 (the median household income for Brooklyn in 2000 was $32,135 and for the city was $38,293, according to other sources).
