"Finally, the Census Bureau approach ignores several sources of
income--benefits and transfers--that have grown significantly. When
all of these pieces are out together, the data suggest that median
Census income per person has risen by 50% over the past 30 years--not
18%."

the middle class. we're excluded. so, yes, our wages haven't grown in
30 years.
