That link appears to be great data (based on reading the summary). Bookmarked to read in more detail later, but saying "thanks!" now.

It appears that the 10th percentile male income has decreased by 7.7% [rather than 10%] in the 40 year period from 1979-2019, if I'm reading the page 4 content correctly.

Figure 1 is facsinating - it shows the 80s were awful for everyone, especially the bottom 10%. Male workers dropped 16.3% from 1979-1990, and Hispanic dropped 20.9%!

2010-2019 was the best real income growth for all groups apart from top 10% hispanics, and the growth is fairly evenly spread across demographics.
