Resources regarding how many UPWARDLY mobile Americans...

there have been in the last few years?

Sorry, I've tried to search but am getting nowhere. Any facts and figures showing how many people became millionaires over the last few years, when previously in lower or middle income levels?

Tea Party uncle insists there have been as many upwardly mobile middle-class persons as downwardly mobile, which is why the middle class is disappearing.

1. I believe we are next to last or may have dropped to last

in upward mobility of the 32 most developed countries.

2. Thanks, mmonk. If you come across any links...

I'd be most grateful. Of course, these types of efforts feel futile because, depending upon the resource, the "other side" just disses it unless it is an unassailable conservative publication providing the info.

Not sure why I get into this.....

3. It seems the US and the UK are near the bottom.
