How to read this chart

The source removes price changes. Use “Start at 100” to compare growth. Money values use the exchange rate of the base year. They are not a check of what pay can buy.

What this does not show

Output is not pay, health or free time. A growth gap does not prove what caused it.

  • Output is not household income, health or free time.
  • These real money values use base-year exchange rates. They are not a common price check.
  • Some source values are estimates and can be revised.
  • Borders, coverage and methods can change over a long history.

Make the case for change

A chart can show a gap. It cannot prove what caused it. Read the evidence, the costs and the change we seek.
