Do you have a source for the claim that low wages are rising more quickly than that of the managers? That would be good news if true. I’ve heard wages are very low. 44% of Americans earn $18,000/yr.

  There's lots of sources around it: From March 2019: "The recent jump in paychecks has come with an unusual characteristic, as workers at the lower end of the pay scale are getting the greater benefit." Ref: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/13/workers-at-lower-end-of-pay-scale-getting-most-benefit-from-rising-wages.html https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/13/workers-at-lower-end-of-pay-... From October 2019: "According to analysis by Nick Bunker, an economist with the jobs site Indeed, wage growth is currently strongest for workers in low-wage industries, such as clothing stores, supermarkets, amusement parks, and casinos. And earnings are growing most slowly in higher-wage industries, such as medical labs, law firms, and broadcasting and telecom companies."
