Starting date for the baseline matters a lot in these generalized statements. It is really AFTER 1979 that the growth in incomes per capita for the non-rich population tranches began to flatline. After 1970 and up to 1980 a clear and pronounced S-L-O-W-I-N-G trend began to appear in incomes for those groups, but for the stag-flation and oil shock decade of the 'seventies incomes still continued to rise overall - albeit at slower rates of growth. However by the early 'eighties it really froze up for those groups... (while income growth rates actually accelerated significantly for the uppermost strata).
