For that 1/3 of Americans, that's a very real statistic to be frowning over.

Maybe it's very bad. Or maybe it's negligible. And which third of americans is it, the poor the middle or the rich or a mix of everyone? These factors are important before we can draw more than the most shallow of conclusions.

There's a chart of the average that looks pretty bad. But also I don't have time to read 78 pages right now.
