Black households wouldn’t earn any less income than White households.

To calculate how much more White households would earn than Black households over a typical working life of 54 years, we can use the median household incomes from the chart.

Median household income for White households: $72,204
Median household income for Black households: $45,438

Now, let's find the difference in income:

Difference = White income - Black income
Difference = $72,204 - $45,438 = $26,766

Next, multiply this annual difference by the number of years in a working life:

Total difference over 54 years = $26,766 * 54 = $1,445,484

Thus, White households would earn approximately $1.4 million more than Black households over a 54-year working life.

The correct response is:

White households would earn $1.4 million more than Black households.
