Continuing an upward trend, middle class income reached its highest level ever despite New York Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claiming there is no such class in America.
The median income for a household in the U.S. reached $61,732 in 2017, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report released Wednesday. The level, up 1.8 percent from the prior year, marks the third consecutive annual increase.
Breaking through the $61,000 mark is notable since it indicates the middle class is earning more than it did in 1999, reported The Washington Post. However, the Census Bureau heeds warning that the data point is not statistically significant.
