Dominicans earn more

[NewsWhore]

The average income of Dominicans living in the US has grown by 18% in a six-year period. The average Dominican now earns US$33,837 compared to US$28,729 in 2000. These statistics were provided by the Quisqueya Foundation, based on data from the National Census Bureau. Though positive in one respect, Dominican incomes are 57.8% lower than the average US income, which equals US$58,526. Dominicans' incomes were also below the average Latino income, which equaled US$40,024 in 2006. This increase in incomes has allowed poverty levels to decrease from 27.6% to 25% between 2000 and 2006, but Dominicans are still poorer than the average for the Latino community in the US, which went from 10% in 2000 to 19% in 2006.
