Pew Studies Internet Use And Income Levels

Use of the internet in higher-income households, Jim Jansen, Senior Fellow, 11/24/2010

  • “Those in higher-income households are different from other Americans in their tech ownership and use. 95% of those in households earning over $75,000 use the internet and cell phones. Those in higher-income households are more likely to use the internet on any given day, own multiple internet-ready devices, do things involving money online, and get news online Those in higher-income households are different from other Americans in their tech ownership and use. Analysis of several recent surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Projects find that there are key differences between those who live in households making $75,000 or more relative to those in lower-income households. Some 95% of Americans who live in households earning $75,000 or more a year use the internet at least occasionally, compared with 70% of those living in households earning less than $75,000.”
