Daily Kos, "Chart of the Day: Median income"

[ProSense]

3. Kick!

...median income is up, but it's still not up to where it was at its peak in January 2008

As can be seen, the trend has been upward since late 2010, 16 months after the National Bureau of Economic Research says the Great Recession ended. In fact, as Short notes, the "latest monthly gain was the second largest of the 170 data points in this series since the turn of the century."

IOW, progress is being madem, albeit slow, to reverse the declines of the recession. After decades of decline, the "latest monthly gain was the second largest of the 170 data points in this series since the turn of the century."
