TOP NEWS U.S. Incomes Surged in 2015 at Fastest Rate in Decades

[Ricter]

And buried deep in the news is this......

Still, the nation hasn't fully healed.
Income remains 1.6% lower than it was in 2000, when it hit $57,790, and 2.4% below the 1999 peak at $57,909. Median earnings for men working full-time are still lower than they were in the 1970s, Danziger said.

But since the average is up, this indicates we may have a distribution problem.

They are against Trump because they know he is an idiot. But yes the right is all about the wealthy and corporations and to hell with the little guy and those regulations that protect the public but hurt their profits. This is obvious to anything with a pulse. Unions, minimum wage and aid to poor are not on their to-do list.

Just to be a devil's advocate. I guess I'm considered a "little guy" too, but to hell with the little guy. I don't want anyone taking care of me! I've been competitive my whole life and I earn what I deserve. If I have to overcome the "man" to get what I want...then so be it! I just have to be that much smarter...that's why I became a trader of the markets...to be self reliant. Does the LEFT despise adversity? Is this the "pussification" of America I keep hearing about? Go head...have at me.

Thank you Obama. And no thanks to the obstructionist backwards moronic Republican congress who can eat shit and die.

• The median household’s income last year was $56,500, a significant increase from the previous year, the Census Bureau said.
• The income gains, of 5.2 percent, are an important turning point in the recovery from the 2008 recession.
