Although economic growth in the United States continues to be as strong as in many other countries or stronger, a small percentage of U.S. households is fully benefiting from it. Median income in Canada pulled into a tie with median U.S. income in 2010 and has most likely surpassed it since then. Median incomes in Western European countries still trail those in the United States, but the gap in several - including Britain, the Netherlands and Sweden - is much smaller than it was a decade ago.
