Unions make all the difference. 
So i'm guessing your conceding my point since these graphs in no way actually disagree with my above graph.... since again, that's household data, not individual data.
Correct?
Union membership loss is another issue, one that's pretty unsolveable since again, union membership lost as nothing to do with "The Rich getting Richer" and everything to do with "Globalization."
As for the rest of there chart. When they say average, do they mean the Mean or the Median? Or do you not know?
I would GUESS median... since that's what most people use. Though in general that would indicate expansion on both sides, rather then simple stagnation of the mean. Espeically when you consider labor force participation rates. Additionaly worth noting that it uses the 1% as opposed to the rich.
Also interesting thing is that it dips so much under Bush to begin with. There was a VERY mild recession then... that's about it though.
Well that and Grham-Leach-Bliley under Clinton.
