Inflation-adjusted incomes are up across the board. People at every point of the income distribution can afford more real goods and services than ever before. Poverty after taxes and transfers is down.
Yet people are absolutely enraged because of higher gains made by somebody else. This obsession with income inequality is basically a manifestation of jealousy.
It would have been nice if this included the 40th, 60th, and 80th percentiles as well. Without them, it’s hard to discern at what point after the median the United States is really serving. Income growth being great for the top 40% is very different than if it’s only great for the top 10%.
