PDF of a table with Social Security tax info

Just a quick note on a useful application of ChatGPT. You can use it to extract just the subset of the data you want from a table in a pdf document, a really nice time saver.

I wanted the year, max. earnings, and OASDI tax rate for the years 1982 through 2022 from the pdf page here: https://taxpolicycenter.org/sites/default/files/statistics/pdf/ssrate_historical_2.pdf. A real pain to cut and paste into excel given the double column and then convert to numbers. So I gave ChatGPT the URL and listed the years and columns I wanted. And I got back a nice table with exactly what I asked for. Nice time saver!
