Recently there were reports on the radio and in local newspapers about the numbers that were on the average annual household income was. The report shows the average annual income per household over a period of five years 2000-2005 decreased. In 2000, the average annual household income, 714th In 2005, he noticed, 238

This must of course be viewed as bad news for the economy. What this means for our economic future, and what happens if the number slips further in the coming years?

What does it give the average annual household income?

The average annual household income is a measure used by economists to measure a function of our economy. That is, it shows the direction in which income is under way. However, this measure can be unreliable, not always a clear picture of whether the income is rising or falling.

Here’s how. In 2000 the average household size of 2.62 persons. In 2005 the average household 2.57 persons. Divided 238 of 2.57 is higher, 714 divided by 2.62. So even if household income is driven down, the value of each individual.

Two important measures, GDP and GDP per capita

.
GDP is a measure of the total size of the economy. It is the value of all goods and services produced within the economy of a country. Economists like to measure than GDP, known to use to get an idea of the financial value of a nation.

GDP per capita is a measure of the prosperity of the individual from a particular country. GDP per capita is simply the total GDP of a country the population of this country divided.

United States, GDP per capita in 2000, 759th In 2005, he was 532nd GDP per head tells a different story from that told by the average annual income of private households.

How can that be?

Take the example of a family of four earning, 000 a year. A member of the family moved. This person is not a full-time employees by this time become. Previously, he was in school, earn money or very little. So after he left, he got a job where he is, 000 € per year.

Well, if we take the average annual income of households in these two families, the first is the family of three persons, which has moved 000 and the second, the family of one, the young man, and now earn wins 000 Euro per year, we find when we, the average household income of households, the average annual income per household dropped from 000th , 000 is divided by a household 000, but 000 divided by two is equal to 000 households.

GDP per capita, on the other hand, has increased. GDP per capita is now 000, divided by four, where he was before, 000 divided by four. Then a different provider in the economy reflected in GDP per capita, but the term average annual cloud this fact, because even if another 000 euros donated by the population, as average family income has been created.

Looking at the two different measures of a country’s wealth, the income, you may very conflicting ideas and come up with different ideas about the economy. Therefore, economists take a look at more than one indicator, as they try to take a snapshot of the economy.

Then, a recession is just around the corner?

The U.S. economy is strong and growing. All the major figures in this economy look very good in recent years. They still look very good today. Unfortunately, all of today’s press are not versed in economic matters. In addition, the same words for many people consume news. This means that journalists can easily mislead the public either on purpose or not.

Do I think some is deliberately misleading? Unfortunately, yes, I do. An essential part of the press today seem a certain bias against the present government have, and besides, they do not seem to accentuate the negative to get every chance it. Know the people with bags and wallets, many in traditional media, which have a clear liberal leaning vote, appear all it can do in order to discredit the very strong economy, we have benefited in recent years.
