minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•edit-28 months agoDo you have a source on “wages outpac[ing] inflation”?
minus-squareAWildMimicAppearslinkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-21 year agoYes, his ass. Hourly wages in 2018 were about 2$ more compared to the 1960s and the increases went to the 90th percentile of earners. And that was before the last big round of inflation.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoTo be fair, if you look at the median graph it does go ever so slightly up, which I think qualifies as “outpaces.” It is certainly a lot less dire than if inflation was outpacing wages, at least wages keeping pace with inflation is sustainable.
