  • QUOTE: … During the same period, CPI-adjusted median income increased from US $43,558 in 1967 to US $52,646 in 2010 according to US Census Bureau data. This yields a CAGR of 0.44 percent. It means that while GDP grew on average by 2.9 percent per year, CPI-adjusted median income increased by only 0.44 percent per year. There has been clearly a divergence in GDP growth and median income growth.
  • NOTE: The comparison should be against per Capita GDP growth not GDP growth which does not account for population changes.
