  • Go to the interactive website, Inequality.is/personal to see how your income might vary depending on your age, sex, race, and educational attainment. For the purposes of this assignment, you may stop when you find the income for each of your people. You may choose to keep following through the scenarios to learn more about other social factors that impact income.

Be sure to write down the characteristics that you use for your three examples as you do the activity so you are prepared to write your post. You will be prompted to see how your fictional person’s income would change if one of their personal characteristics changed. Note these changes so you can discuss them in your post.
