  • What do the data show regarding trends in income and in income disparities?
  • What do the data show about the number and percentage of Americans in general, and of particular groups of Americans, who lack health insurance?
  • What do the data suggest about how low-income Americans and the middle class fared over the course of the economic recovery that peaked in 2007, and how does this compare to how they did in previous recoveries?
