It appears the folks at the bottom end of the economic strata have seen their real wages go down whereas those at the top have seen theirs go up.<BR/><BR/>To be more relevant, I'd love to see a study showing averages for high school grads and university grads and what their respective wages have been able to buy them over the years. My sense is that the prices of many things have gone down if you look at real dollars.Robert W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11450265399740128136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14015236.post-85693390477542737452009-03-23T00:11:00.000-07:002009-03-23T00:11:00.000-07:00A little light reading: http://www.csls.ca/events/...A little light reading: http://www.csls.ca/events/cea1998/rtw.asp<BR/><BR/>There's lots out there, just google something along the lines of 'real incomes' and voila.David in North Burnaby BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660731947857473298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14015236.post-28850002172008165202009-03-22T19:35:00.000-07:002009-03-22T19:35:00.000-07:00David, if I understand you correctly you're saying...David, if I understand you correctly you're saying that the buying power of Americans has been dropping since the time of Ronald Reagan, is that correct?<BR/><BR/>I'd love to see your sources. Anecdotal evidence I've observed suggests the exact opposite.Robert W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11450265399740128136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14015236.post-71143668726372378622009-03-22T14:12:00.000-07:002009-03-22T14:12:00.000-07:00"... he stated that the average American's real in..."... he stated that the average American's real income is much less than it was 30 years ago. Is that true?"<BR/><BR/>Sure, they've been falling steadily for most of two decades now, same north of the 49th, there was another study in the news just recently. <BR/>It doesn't get a lot of media play because what the media don't want to have to tell you is that incomes for average Americans haven't gone the other way since - <I>*gasp* Ronald Reagan</I> was President.<BR/>I'm sure I don't need to explain why <I>that</I> is. ;-)David in North Burnaby BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660731947857473298noreply@blogger.com
