StayingEven.com today released its updated reading for the 2022 Staying Even Index (SEI) through Q3 2022, revising up its estimate to 9.1% from the 8.9% reported in November. The revised reading is based upon YTD year-on-year nominal GDP growth of 9.5% and YTD estimated population growth of 0.1%.

These projections suggest that individuals whose year-to-date 2021 total income from all sources (after tax wages and other income) grew by more than 9.1% from the same period in 2020 expanded their adjusted share of the U.S. economy, and those whose total income grew by less than this fell behind compared to the prior year.  

StayingEven.com will publish updates to these figures as GDP and population estimates are revised.  We are dedicated to helping individuals understand what income growth is required to keep up in the U.S. Economy.
