While there are issues with using GDP as a measurement well-being, I recently came across two charts on historical real GDP growth that I found enlightening.
Hopefully that post-depression super growth rate will be kicking in real soon.

For any economic nerds out there that aren't aware, the BEA's website has easily accessible historical statistics on many GDP related items (real GDP here).
