2019 to 2024? That’s ancient data. The world has changed a lot since then. Georgia was buoyed by batteries for EVs? How’s that working out? People and businesses are fleeing places like Portland, OR and Minneapolis, MN. Dem run states are hemorrhaging people.
Besides, a percentage growth number is fine as long as you ignore the cost of living in those places.
To me, the main insight is that the growths were distributed across regions. It used to be Southern states in general populating the bottom of the list, not anymore. In each level (top, middle, bottom) we find states of various regions.
Fast rising incomes mean little when the cost of living is outpacing it.
We are just poor apparently.
This report says nothing.
Biden’s and the insane lefts’ spending and subsequent inflation is what is driving most of those numbers.
Are those annual income figures before tax gross or after tax income?
Are they using the term income as the commies have changed it, or in it’s original meaning?
Thomas Sowell always said to be wary of household income vs per capita income.
Didn’t read the article. Does this include adjustments, per state, for cost of living average/state?
Thx.
What happened in 2019..... Lockdowns and remote work. Where I lived and currently live, every scrap of property was bought site unseen for cash by someone from Silicon Valley who kept the same pay working remote. There were no new jobs or factories to bring up the pay for locals. But there were hundreds of Californians moving up here (Eastern Oregon, North Idaho, Rocky side of Montana.) sure it is anecdotal evidence but the timeline used is exactly what I saw, and lots of smaller mountain towns saw as well.
GA, TN, FL, SC near the top. NC, the other Southeast state near the bottom. NC has been consolidating the banking sector of the SE into Charlotte. Why is NC so low?
What NC challenger can attack what incumbent and make this an issue?
