Amazing how good the economy has been doing in the wake of 911, Two wars, Katrina, Record Gas prices!

By The Christian Science Monitor
American paychecks are rising again at a pace not seen since the 1990s.

The pay increase amounts to 4% on average over the past 12 months, and it comes at a very helpful time for millions of households.

For three years, pay increases haven't kept pace with the rising cost of living. Then came this year's housing slowdown, which has further squeezed family finances.

Those setbacks, however, are now being offset by rising income. Four percent may not sound like much, but you have to look back to 1997 to find a calendar year with a gain that big.
