Taxes Take Bigger And Bigger Bite Out Of Paycheck
The Labor Department reports the average private-sector worker supporting a family of four now pays 23.4 percent more in federal income tax and Social Security than a year ago. Despite a 6.6 percent rise in wages, higher withholding shifts keep take-home pay down, with take-home tax deductions up from $16 to $20 weekly and the buying power of the average worker dipping about 0.3 percent since last August. State taxes add nearly 2 percent to total pay.
