How Many Days of Extra Work You Need to Do To Be in The Middle Class

“Middle Class” doesn’t have an official definition. But, according to the Pew Charitable Trust defines it as households that earn between 67 and 200 percent of a state’s median income. Based on this metric and several statistics, Business Insider came up with a list of how much you have to earn to be considered middle class, depending on your state.

Analyzing the numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2013 American Community survey and found that the middle class has basically decreased in every state between 2000 and 2013.

You can see the full results below. In the left column you will see the median household income for each state. The middle column is the minimum you have to earn to be considered middle class, based on Pew’s definition. And the right column is the upper range of middle class.

To take this one step further, we looked to see how many days of background extra work does an actor have to do in Louisiana, California, New York, and Georgia.

Here is what we found (assuming an background extra earns $64/day):

California: 626 – 1,880 days

New York: 597 – 1,792 days

Georgia: 498 – 1,494 days

Louisiana: 460 – 1,380 days
