Income on the rise

The Great Recession officially ended five years ago and, according to CNNMoney, the average American worker might finally be seeing evidence of that.
 
CNNMoney reports that Sentier Research data show median income increased 3.8 percent in June, to $53,891.
 
For years, median household income stagnated at best or actually fell for most workers and remains 3.1 percent below its June 2009 level of $55,589.
 
Median U.S. income is still 4.8 percent lower than it was in December 2007, the beginning of the recession, and is almost 6 percent lower than in January 2000.
