Calculated Risk says: "Fed: Industrial Production increased 1.1% in November, Above Pre-recession Peak"

Okay, but the graphs say manufacturing and capacity utilization are still lagging behind. Is this all related to the shale oil boom?

Map: Income Taxes in Your County

Choosing Avg. Tax as a % of income flattens things out considerably.

Wages fell. Total productivity driven. Unfortunately "productivity" is being gamed now too.

There was very little commentary. Some prose could be illuminating...

Besides the shale effect, any chance this 2000 to 2012 change is due to the decline in married households as a percent of all households? Marriage has declined in numbers, divorce is roughly 40%, illegitimacy is 40% and the rate of households led by a single parent (25% of which are dads now) all could be pulling that number down.
