COMMENTARY

I would like to note that at the 'income category' stats some countries' OECD membership is not well indicated. Most of them are central european countries, like Hungary. Check out OECD's website

I would not be too much bothered by this categorization. Hungary, as well as most of the other Central European countries is more egalitarian and the black economy is larger than in most other developed countries. Important factor is as well subsistence economy (small self production for extended family and friends where no financial transaction takes place). All these factors have an impact on the categorization and position of the country on the income ladder.
