Year-over-year income growth by annual income bracket

The figure has three lines showing the year-over-year percentage change in yearly earnings for three income groups—less than $50,000, $50,000 to $100,000, and over $100,000—from January 2009 through March 2025. The figure shows strong earnings growth for the under $50,000 group from 2020 through 2022, after which growth significantly slowed. The two other income groups show similar patterns, but with less dramatic fluctuations.
