“The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that in 2012, real
median household income and the poverty rate were not statistically different
from the previous year, while the percentage of people without health insurance
coverage decreased.
Median household income in the United States in 2012 was
$51,017, not statistically different in real terms from the 2011 median of
$51,100. This followed two consecutive annual declines.
The nation's official poverty rate in 2012 was 15.0 percent,
which represents 46.5 million people living at or below the poverty line. This
marked the second consecutive year that neither the official poverty rate nor
the number of people in poverty were statistically different from the previous
year's estimates. The 2012 poverty rate was 2.5 percentage points higher than in
2007, the year before the economic downturn.”

“The
Financial Crisis: Five Years Later.”
“Five years ago this week, a financial crisis unlike any in generations rocked Wall Street, turning a recession that was already hammering Main Street into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. In the months before President Obama took office, the economy was shrinking at a rate of over 8%. Businesses were shedding 800,000 jobs a month. Banks had stopped lending to families and small businesses. The iconic American auto industry -the heartbeat of American manufacturing– was on the brink of collapse. It was a crisis that would ultimately cost millions of Americans their jobs, their homes, and their savings –and the decades-long erosion of middle-class security was laid bare for all to see and feel.”
