Are you sure about this?
I know you like to cherry pick your stats, but if you read the article (and the disclaimer) and then follow it all the way through to the spreadsheet.... You discover that in 2007 the average wage was $61,355 and in 2012 it is $62,241. That's median income. If you do mean income in 2007 the average was $78,845 and in 2012 it's $82,843.
Seems to me that in both cases - mean and median averages - income is up in 2012 compared to 2007. Of course, this does't fact in 2013.
Keep in mind that while our economy should be the number one concern the Republican party is doing everything it can to fight the President on every issue possible - this morning they announced they were considering sueing him.
