The Census Bureau today reported that Americans' income edged up last year for the first time in six years and fewer families are living in poverty. The report, hailed by President Clinton, showed median household income of $34,076 in 1995, up 2.7 percent from 1994. The agency said this is the first real increase in six years after adjusting for inflation. NPR's John Nielsen has the details.
