the census bureau does. what is interesting is here pew is reporting the nation's uneven wealth recovery. when we look a household income, that recovery has been uneven as well. the e following sense, is recession ended officially in 2009. but, according to the official data, median household income, the typical income of the typical american household, during the recovery, meidan household income has continued to drop from 2009 to 2010 to 2011. and, as a matter of fact, it actually fell as much during the recovery as it did during the two years the recession itself. sell household income during the recovery and has grown as a whole. the income pie is growing. again, half of american households, their median income continue to decline. one caveat. we are into 2013. we will know this fall when the census bureau releases the annual income-poverty report what has occurred during 2012, during the past year, but at least to what we know now, through 2011, household income also was declining. so that was an uneven
