You should be looking only at inflation-adjusted numbers. Also: you say "per person", so be sure it's not "per family" data that you are looking at. The average household has shrunk in size, so per person data shows more positive results than per household data. Re: "The 70s were generally a poor time economically, worse than the 80s" (NOT 'worse than the 80s' for middle class in per-person wage growth or in job creation rates or in GNP rates. Better.) Which is why I say I believe the inflation of the 70s distorted the data collecting. I'm saying the 80s (and certainly yhe 80s post early 80s recession) was better than the 70s, even though some data shows otherwise. Believe the 90s entered a secular bear market stockcharts.com
