The middle-class American family is on the rise with the median household income for 2017 reaching a record high, a Census Bureau survey has shown. The median income rose to $61,372, from $60,309 a year earlier, when adjusted for inflation (xls). President Donald Trump celebrated the news on Twitter on Sept. 13, saying middle-class income “will continue to rise (unless the Dem[ocrat]s get in and destroy what we have built)”—alluding to the significance of the upcoming midterm elections that will decide the power balance in Congress.
