Median household income

04 obama economy median household income

Americans continue to worry about their pocketbooks. Nearly three in five say they are "sometimes" or "frequently" anxious about their financial situation.

A big part of the concern stems from the fact that incomes aren't growing very much. The median household income in America is now $56,516 -- lower than what it was prior to the recession.

Middle class incomes are finally climbing, but they still aren't back.
