So perhaps if one is looking at the George Bush years mean income in these quitles has fallen even though median income remained flatActually, median income dropped over that period, and, as for you noted, the mean income for all quintiles also dropped. This is to be expected when unemployment rises since no one receiving unemployment compensation is above the median for income.
