Inflation Adjusted Wealth, Income and Employment over Time

 Wealth

Income

The unemployment rate is lower than in much of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.  

Real income growth has been somewhat limited but has occurred:  Median Household Income 

• 1970 (inflation‑adjusted): ~ $71k–$72k
  2024 (inflation‑adjusted): ~ $83.7k
• I couldn't find median household size over time but the average has gone from 3.11 in 1970 to 2.5 or 2.51 in 2024. So the income is supporting fewer people on average.
