The first two are for 10 years, the third is for 11, and the last for only 7. Why?> Um, because there have only been 7 years this decade for which the figures are in? At any rate, the difference in the numbers is so stark (see #71, for those still playing along), that I doubt moving one year to the next or preceding period would radically alter what we see: 70's - decent rise in median household real income; 80's - better. 90's - better still. This decade: a decline.
