At Last: Economic Good News: People have More Money in Their Paychecks

At last some good news.

After eight lean years, Americans finally got fatter paychecks in 2015 — their first significant hike since 2007 and the biggest since record keeping began in 1968. The U.S. median household income rose 5.2% to $56,516, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Tuesday.

Hopefully, they put some of that money in a rainy day fund so they can get through the next recession.
