Understanding the chart[edit]

Sources of the charts as follows, starting from the top left and working clockwise:

  • Real (inflation adjusted) household income fell significantly due to the Great Recession and has been recovering since, with a sizable improvement measured 2014-2016, the latest available at FRED. The 2016 data was the all-time record, surpassing the late 1990's peak.[1]
  • Household debt (e.g., mortgages, credit cards, auto loans, etc.) rose in the years prior to the Great Recession. This is another way of looking at the credit bubble that burst, precipitating the crisis as credit dried up. Households increased their savings or lost their homes in foreclosure; both reduced the ratio of debt relative to the size of the economy.[2]
  • Housing prices fell dramatically, both cause and effect of the Great Recession. As of late 2016, they were still below the pre-crisis peak on average.[3]
  • The stock market performed incredibly well during the Obama era, rising from its lowest point in early 2009, regaining its pre-crisis peak by 2013 and continuing upward thereafter.[4]
