numbers don't include increases in assets such as equities and homes.

it blows my mind how they can make a statement about savings rates when housing has exploded over the last few years. the increase in equity for those owning a home has increased much more than any % of saving of earned income.

also do they count increases in 401k programs as savings? these plans were not around in depression area.. figure a company contributes 3 to 5% of gross income into a 401k plan ,, does that get included in savings rates?
