- The economy lifted more Americans from poverty in 2018 but failed to drive broader economic progress across households.
- Median incomes were essentially flat after three years of growth last year, the Census Bureau said in a report Tuesday.
- The median household income was $US63,179 last year, statistically unchanged from 2017 and near where it stood in 1999.
- The figures suggested rising inequality has continued to undermine progress during the longest expansion on record.
