Definitely not: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us-workers-real-wages-have-barely-budged-for-decades/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us...
- dwohnitmok 6y agoThe headline and article content both say that it's been even, i.e. no real growth, but no backsliding either. > For most U.S. workers, real wages have barely budged in decades and > today’s real average wage (that is, the wage after accounting for inflation) has about the same purchasing power it did 40 years ago.
- jolux 6y agoAh, yes. Sorry. Even with inflation but no growth. You would hope for growth given it’s been 40 years.
