If this is the case, its because income growth has been so pathetic the last 7 years.
Getting excited that in 8 years you got the median income up < 1500 not adjusted for inflation???? Median household income, adjusted for inflation is still below where it was when this guy took office.
My wife got her review and raise last week... 1.6%... I know hardly anyone who’s seen above 2.5% in years, short of changing jobs.
IT’s ####ING GREAT OUT THERE!!!!
Wife took 10k pay cut from “in demand” field this year, AFTER i refused to let her take 25k cut and made her sweat it out.
The companies are hiring newbies for nothing, until they #### everything up. Then they grudgingly hire the pros.
I got no raise this year.
I TELL YA THE WA POST IS RIGHT. THINGS ARE A ROCKING!!!
GTF out of here, Post.
“If this is the case, its because income growth has been so pathetic the last 7 years.”
It doesn’t matter what the case really is. It is after Labor Day in a Presidential election year. They will run stories that support the Democrats, no matter how outlandish.
I remember a few cycles ago seeing a story on the front page of USA Today, that Blacks suffered more heart disease, because of white racism. Facts themselves don’t matter, this is pure political rhetoric.

So the median household income in 2015 rose to $56,500. So what?
What they failed to tell you is that in 2007 the household median income was $57,357 and in 1999 was $57,843.
So since 1999 household average income has declined 2.3% or one fifth of one per center per year. In other words, household income is FLAT and STAGNANT.
