median income
Here's a correction to that map from the Detroit Free Press showing change in median income over the last six years. The national numbers are somewhat better than the Free Press reported, but still show a decline over the last six years. Some of the state-by-state numbers are quite different, though. Median income has declined the most in Wisconsin (-16.5%) and Michigan (-14.9%) and has increased the most in Hawaii (+14.3%) and North Dakota (+10.3%).
