Americans’ Pockets Got Fatter During the Pandemic! ๐ค
Aight, so here’s the deal. Even though the pandemic threw some curveballs, folks still found ways to stack that paper. Between 2019 and 2022, folks in the U.S. saw their money grow, and it wasn’t just a lil’ bit. Federal Reserve dropped some numbers saying that stocks going up, house prices getting right, and the government giving out that assistance made sure peopleโs pockets were right and tight.
Now, over those three years, folks’ median net worth shot up by 37 percent, and thatโs after you break down the inflation and all. ๐๐ We talkin’ biggest growth since they started keeping track in ’89! And hey, families didnโt just stop there. Between 2018 to 2021, the typical family bread went up 3 percent after you take away inflation.
Itโs clear as day, though: while the big ballers had their cake, pretty much everyone was eating better during those times. Folks’ savings accounts were looking real nice, credit card drama was low, and them retirement bags? On the rise. ๐ฐ๐
Different sets of numbers been hinting at this glow-up, but when the Federal Reserve drops their report every three years? Thatโs the real talk right there. ๐งฎ๐ This report gives the full scope, from how much folks save to whoโs got shares in companies, and it breaks it down by age, race, and how heavy their pockets are.
This report dropped and shed light on how we all moved during the pandemic’s wild ride. In 2020, mad folks faced tough times, lost jobs and whatnot. But the government stepped in, dropping those relief packages to help the people out. ๐ผ๐ซ
Fast forward, the job sceneโs looking lit, unemployment’s on the low, and wages are coming up. Only twist? Prices of everyday stuff went up, inflation and all that. ๐๐ธ
Without inflation in the mix, the typical family money would have risen a good 20 percent. That’s what the report was saying.
Compared to the last big financial mess from 2007-2009? This recent growth is a whole mood. Back then, it took mad long for some households to get their paper right again, and some never got back on track. ๐ธโ๏ธ
Now, thereโs still that divide in how much folks make. Some numbers showed that the average bread folks brought home jumped 15 percent, which is one of the fattest increases they ever recorded.
And hereโs some real talk about wealth. The rich folks in the U.S. have mad assets, so when stocks, bonds, and homes go up in price, their wealth just skyrockets. ๐๐ฒ But these past three years? The folks who werenโt ballin’ out before saw the biggest percentage jumps. In 2022, the people at the bottom went from having $400 in 2019 to stacking $3,500. Meanwhile, the top dogs saw their median net worth go up to $3.79 million, a rise from $3.01 million.
Breaking down how those pandemic checks played into these numbers ainโt simple. But it seems like folks saved up those government checks, which added to their net worth.
And get this, more folks started investing in the stock market. By 2022, 21% of households had their hands in stocks, which is a jump from the 15% in 2019. ๐๐ค
But real talk, even with all this, there are still gaps in money and wealth across races. Black and Hispanic families, though, they saw their net worth shoot up the most during the pandemic. Black families saw their money go up by 60 percent, hitting $44,900. Thatโs more than the 31 percent white families saw, which had them at $285,000. Hispanic families had a 47 percent increase. ๐โ๐ฟ
Even then, Black and Hispanic folks didnโt see their earnings go up as much through 2021. After adjusting for inflation, their earnings were a little shaky, while white families had a slight increase.
The report also dropped some info about Asian families, and their money was looking the most solid of any racial or ethnic group.
Now, even though these numbers ainโt brand new, itโs clear: as the pandemic was wrapping up, folks were in a solid spot. Their money was right, and they kept that spending energy in 2023, keeping things moving even with the Federal Reserve tweaking those interest rates.
All this good news has folks hoping the economy can slow down just a bit, without squeezing everyone so hard that we dive into another recession. ๐๐๐ฅ

๐ค Americans’ Wealth Soars During the Pandemic!
In recent news, it seems the pandemic hasnโt been all doom and gloom for everyone. Americans experienced a significant increase in their wealth from 2019 to 2022. The Federal Reserve data points out that rising stock prices, surging home values, and various government incentives during the COVID-19 crisis have all played a part in enhancing the financial well-being of the populace.
Within this three-year span, the median net worth escalated by an impressive 37 percent after accounting for inflation. ๐๐ This figure marks the most significant spike since records began in 1989! Concurrently, there’s been a modest 3 percent increase in median family income from 2018 to 2021, even after accounting for inflation.
It’s evident that while the rich have benefitted more, the majority of Americans experienced some financial progression during these three years. Savings were up, credit card debts dwindled, and retirement accounts flourished. ๐ฐ๐
Various datasets, both from government and other sources, have hinted at these gains. Yet, the Federal Reserve report, issued triennially, remains the benchmark in terms of financial insights. ๐งฎ๐ It delivers a thorough analysis, spanning from savings rates to stock ownership, segmented by age, race, and wealth categories.
This edition of the report is especially noteworthy as itโs the first since the pandemicโs onset. It paints a vivid picture of how families navigated during such a turbulent economic era. A considerable number faced unemployment in early 2020, prompting the government to release multiple relief packages. ๐ผ๐ซ
Lately, the job market has shown promising signs, marked by low unemployment rates and a rise in wages. Yet, surging inflation has slightly dampened these achievements by upping the cost of daily necessities. ๐๐ธ
Interestingly, if inflation wasn’t factored in, the median income would have witnessed a whopping 20 percent surge, as per the latest report.
This period’s financial advancements, especially among the less affluent, is noteworthy, especially when juxtaposed against the aftermath of the 2007-2009 recession. During that downturn, many households took years to recoup their financial status, with some never fully recovering. ๐ธโ๏ธ
These recent developments have also shed light on income disparities. For instance, the rise in average income, which is the aggregate earnings divided by households, was 15 percent โ one of the most substantial three-year surges on record.
While the wealthy in America possess a significant chunk of financial assets, itโs evident that the wealth gap enlarges when stock, bond, and home prices surge. ๐๐ฒ But in this survey’s three-year period, the most substantial growth in wealth was seen among the less affluent. Their net worth in 2022 was $3,500, a leap from $400 in 2019. On the flip side, the top 10 percent households saw their median net worth soar to $3.79 million, up from $3.01 million just three years prior. ๐ฐ๐
Breaking down the impact of pandemic-related payments on these figures is a tad challenging. But, itโs assumed that one-time checks and other pandemic aids were factored into the net worth metrics.
Furthermore, the report indicates that an increasing number of Americans have ventured into the stock market for the first time. By 2022, 21 percent of households owned stocks, a rise from 15 percent in 2019. ๐๐ค
A key takeaway from the Fedโs recent release is the persistent income and wealth disparities across racial groups. However, during the pandemic, Black and Hispanic families reported the most substantial percentage increase in net worth. For Black families, the median net worth soared by 60 percent, reaching $44,900, outpacing the 31 percent gain seen by white families, taking their wealth to $285,000. Hispanic families reported a 47 percent surge in their net worth. ๐โ๐ฟ
However, it’s also crucial to note that Black and Hispanic households didn’t see their incomes rise at the same pace through 2021. After adjusting for inflation, their earnings slightly dipped, whereas white families saw a slight bump.
The reportโs findings, albeit not current, do emphasize the robust financial position Americans found themselves in post-pandemic. Their substantial net worth and escalating incomes ensured continued expenditure into 2023, sustaining the economy’s growth even amidst the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes.
These positive trends have ignited hopes of a gentle economic deceleration, avoiding a scenario where pressures on consumers could potentially plunge America into another recession. ๐๐๐ฅ
