Census Finds Earnings Rise Do Not Raise Living Standards
The Census Bureau says 1974 real income matched 1959 levels despite higher earnings, with about 24.3 million Americans in poverty in 1974, nearly unchanged from 1969. The poverty rate fell slightly as population grew, and median income in 1974 was near 1969 levels after inflation. Conditions reflect a stagnating five year period amid recession and inflation.
