White women earn less that black women

But that's just me and my life. The census data does not suggest a social implication, the data just show numbers with a relative correlation to whatever the question was that they designed: i.e. what types of people are getting paid the highest wages--or even more broader than that...

I even doubt they developed a hypothesis until after they got all the data calculated and noticed some trends... It would be nice to see their actual stats that they used.

Of course the census data does not suggest social implications. That's why there are people like myself who understand and research the social implications. The Census is not a research tool in the sense of hypotheses and using theoretical foundations for their work. They are only a clearing house and a data collection unit. Similar to other research institutes that just collect the data and crunch the numbers.

There are a lot of people who have "comfort items," but there are MANY more who are struggling to just make ends meet. This is moreso for families with children because children make up over half of the people in poverty and near-poverty. So, if you thought "comfort items" meant not going to bed hungry or being able to afford nutritional meals, I would agree with you.
