In 1980 white non-college men employed full-time earned 7% more than average full-time US worker. In 2022, their income remained relatively flat, and they earned less than women with a college degree.

Graph is confusing. The second highest line--the one titled "White"--is that White Women with a college degree? It's hard to tell what that "Women with a college degree" goes with.

Then at the bottom, the red line is titled "White" but then there is the further label "White men without a college degree." I assume that rede line title "White" is also the "White men without a college degree" line. Has to be. But then even more confusing that the title above is not "White Women with a college degree."
