Comparing the U.S. Distribution of Income by Age Group and Year

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that you want to compare how income is distributed among different age groups like we've been doing quite a bit of lately.

And, let's say, that even after having your friends and family members do everything in their power to talk you out of it, you're still bound and determined to do it! But, now you have a technical problem - our previous tool is designed to extract data from one of our models at a time - not compare data between them! Sure, you could just run it over and over again for each different age group or income range or year you want to consider, but that's awfully time consuming and it doesn't figure the differences or percentage changes between them.

Well, we feel your pain, and let's just say that this tool is for you!...
