Two-thirds of American Households Earn Less Today Than They Did In 2002

We spotted this stat today:

"Two-thirds of American households are headed by someone who did not earn a college degree. From 2002 to 2013, those households, even as they aged, saw their median incomes fall by 9.4 percent (for those headed by high school graduates) and 17.3 percent (for those headed by high-school dropouts)."
