If the numbers on this site are correct ($90-$100k average is what we all should be making) then some degree wages have kept up with productivity but none have really grown faster than it. That's still a problem, isn't it?
- quotemstr 13y agoOur wages have kept up, but we're in a _very_ privileged position. We happen to have the right skills at the right time. We're not more industrious or more virtuous than the typical struggling middle-class wage earner. We're just luckier, and we shouldn't forget that. Let's also not forget that there are benefits to living in a just and equitable society that aren't reflected in paychecks and equity grants, and that the marginal utility of each additional dollar is less than that of the previous dollar.
