The Relationship Between Education and Income Among Religious Groups

Well, it looks like all that matters is the college degree, but not the religion (which only matters for the percentage of college degrees). There are not big outliers. It's basically a straight line.

I'm a little surprised by the Hindu result. Are those primarily software engineers from India? Then the data is a little misleading because it doesn't really show the percentage of college degrees among Hindus in general but only of Hindus who got a working permit (which presumably means: have college degree in most cases).

Yep lots of selection bias. The modal Indian couldn’t even read just a decade or so ago. But we get half of IIT’s graduating class each year.

What's the difference between an Agnostic and 'Nothing in Particular'?

About $15K apparently.

I am guessing this is just for US peopel?

But not really surprising. I am guessing you could do the same things for neighborhoods, ethnic group, etc. and the line would be the same.
