This is disturbing, this was assigned for a class, 69% of people couldn't get half of these right.
The demographic breakdown is disturbing but not surprising, the only one of the 12 questions that women out polled men on was minimum wage, this bring to mind the discussion of the wage gap between men and women.
Age difference is also unsurprising either, younger people outdid over on the poverty line question, min. wage and the unemployment rate (which in that one the elderly came in a close 2nd to the young. The other questions older people outpaced the younger, which is disturbing it itself.
Im not surprised either.
