Abstract:
Americans throughout society have shared the gains from economic growth. Low- and middle-income families enjoy dramatically improved standards of living, family incomes are well above where they were a generation ago, most Americans enjoy luxuries that only the well-off once could afford, and almost all Americans have better health, education, housing, and consumer goods than they did even a decade ago.
