That's a worthless statistic. I'd bet Half of all Americans are too young or too old to be employed.
FWIW - you wouldn't know a good time if it fell out of the sky, landed on your face, and started to wiggle.
Fact is, MORE americans seems to be EMPLOYED.
From the link you posted:
The combined income of all Americans in 2005 was slightly larger than it was in 2000, but because more people were dividing up the national income pie, the average remained smaller. Total adjusted gross income in 2005 was $7.43 trillion, up 3.1 percent from 2000 and 5.8 percent from 2004.
OH! And the VERY poor, are making MORE money, too
The I.R.S. data showed that the number of Americans making less than $25,000 a year shrank, down by 3.2 million, or 5.5 percent.
OH! And "reported Income" doesn't usually relate to one's earnings.

If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

So what's your problem with this report? It shows MANY more jobs created, and Lots of saving-what-we-earn-instead-of-giving-it-to-the-gov. The report shows a DECREASE in those only making $25k or less. That's good news.
Of course nothing I wrote refutes your claim incomes have gone down for the first time since 1945 with the exception of one year because I wasn't TRYING to refute that bullshit claim.Nothing you have shown here refutes that incomes have gone down for the first time since 1945 with the exception of one year.
MY income is 165% of what it was just seven years ago. That refutes your claim, I suppose.

I often think that the people responding to posts like these don't even bother to read the article first.
If you're worth less than $5 million and you vote for McCain, you're a loser.
No - I'm saying Your wild claim about "Wages" and "Earning" is NOT applicable. At least not to ME nor anybody I know. I was refuting your claim - which is what you seemed to want.

Ahhhhh but HALF make more than 30,000. They didn't tell ya that.
There is nothing here but another mindless transparent attack by the NYTs on the Bush administration via tax cuts. More of the same, create class warfare.
I wonder when they will start reporting news instead of pushing agenda?
UNITED STATES ARMY AVIATION
Above the Best
Why the Hell should I have to press “1” for ENGLISH?
Whether 'included' or not, the impact is real, especially among those with less education. If "illegal" will do landscaping for $6 an hour, those that do not hire illegals only have to go to $8 or $9 an hour. Wages are surpressed from the bottom up.
It's the same function unions served in the past, they could win an increase for 'sanitation engineers' to $14 an hour. Then everyone above them made more. Then industries that considered their place higher, raised their salaries.
I think some of you are being unfair and going off topic with tm.
half of All Legal americans making less then 30,000 would not be a good thing, even if we have no unemployment. However, Any illegal, should not have the right to live or work here, because they have to steal housing to live and social seucirity numbers to work.
But, I mean, lets be fair to tm, we may not agree with him, but he is a nice guy
