The charts show that wages are at record high levels, and are trending in the right direction.
I suppose we could hope that the record was set even higher, or that the trend was moving even faster in the right direction?
My point is that things really are good. We can always hope for better, but we need to understand that these are good times. (They won't always be so.)

- RickJWagner 7y agoArticles like this one give reason to believe wages are increasing, especially at the bottom.

- bsanr2 7y agoThat low wage workers have been treading or below water with their wage growth vis a vis inflation and necessity costs (which have risen as much as twice the rate of inflation) for decades now. Things are not "good” just because we may - may! - be at the precipice of a return to sanity. In many respects they are far worse than they've been in quite some time.
