Information Age
Industrial Revolution
Agricultural Revolution
Up from 3% of household income in the 1920s
Is this Prosperity?
The combined cost of housing & transportation consumes 57% of the average US household income.
- 33% claim that, despite enjoying their jobs, they have considered resigning due to a commute of an hour or more.
Work Trend: According to the 2010 census, more people telework than commute by public transportation.
