Whenever you hear economists talk about averages, watch your wallet. In an economy becoming ever more unequal, those at the top bring up the average higher than the typical person experiences. (The basketball star Shaquille O’Neal and I have an average height of 6’ 1”.) So take with a grain of salt the government’s recent announcement that per-person disposable personal income has risen over 4 percent since the recovery began in 2009 (adjusted for inflation). The fact is, median family income (that is, the income of the family smack in the middle) is now lower than it was when the recovery started. Five years ago it was $55,589. Now, adjusted for inflation, it’s $53,891.
