Note: Earnings are wage and salary income. Shaded areas denote recessions. Because the redesign of the CPS ASEC in 2013 did not directly affect earnings, the data for 2013 are an average of the new and old series. The break in the series in 2017 represents data from both the legacy CPS ASEC processing system and the updated CPS ASEC processing system.
