The median household income in the U.S. rose by an inflation-adjusted 4% last year, marking the first statistically significant increase since before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Census Bureau said Tuesday.
The 2023 figure of $80,610 is up from $77,450 in 2022 and is only slightly less than 2019's $81,201, according to the bureau's annual "Income in the United States" report.
