[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8421900, member: 6779310"] Thje census data implies quite strongly otherwise, on average and mean income. The CPI is raising faster than the mean and average income per the census' preferred "CPI-U-RS" - on both measures, the decrease is evident. Using other measures of the CPI, the mean is WELL below the CPI (~8%), while the median has gone up a a strong bit faster (~8% more) this tends to indicate losses at the upper end and/or gains at the low end; we know, however, that the wealthiest have had some pretty good gains in the last decade... AEIR 2000-2020 CPI increase 150.3% {1} BLS CPI increase Jan 2000 to Jan 2020 152.83% {2} Mean Income 2000 2000US$57,045 {3} 2020 2020US$83,691 {4} 146.71% Median income 2000 2000US$42,148, {3} 2020 2020US$67,521 {4} 160.2 % 2020 US Adjusted Dollars per Census {4} 2000 median 2020US$63292 2020 median 2020US$59640, 2000 mean 2020US$86120 2020 mean 2020US$83691 {1} [URL="https://www.aier.org/cost-of-living-calculator/?utm_source=Google%20Ads&utm_medium=Google%20CPC&utm_campaign=COLA&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnoqLBhD4ARIsAL5JedIcBR4dEaaNob68EXqCyaLlIyvOXYOWSDqbqw4wU9LNfeveXeYPkZAaAu8UEALw_wcB"]Cost of Living Calculator: What is Your Dollar Worth Today?[/URL] {2} [URL="https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm"]CPI Inflation Calculator[/URL] {3} [URL]https://www.census.gov/prod/2001pubs/p60-213.pdf[/URL] {4} [URL="https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2021/demo/p60-273.html"]Income and Poverty in the United States: 2020[/URL] [/QUOTE]
