Me and Jeff Bezos have an average net worth of 50 billion
Real takes into account cost of living.
1. We aren't measuring wealth
2. People like Bezos aren't included in the Median.
this low iq
push for class warfare
is really embarrassing lol
wait hold on
Nonetheless, CEOs have seen increased pay because their productivity has rapidly increased. This is true for white collar workers as a whole.
Trump just complemented California 😳
how can the wages of minimum wage workers lessen
However every income group has seen higher real incomes.
when minimum wage has been increasing
The graph you posted, or meme, is misleading.
I take issues with this graph aswell
The pay increases do not match these other costs
When you **do** account for these variables, you get this
as productivity continues to increase the real wages move up along with it
nothing wrong wit hthe rich getting richer
social darwinism in action
They’re not over 1000% better
I'm going to repost this
I take issues with this graph aswell
The issues are: it doesn't account for depreciation in productivity; it doesn't use all worker's wages, just a selection; it doesn't take into account all productivity; it use two different inflation indexes; it doesn't use compensation - workers aren't simply paid in wages.
thats not an argument
as usual
higher iq's are linked to success
When you adjust for these variables, you get this:
Depreciation is an issue
try and increase the general iq of a given population
Depreciation of productivity statistics, your graph doesn't measure it.
if you want any effective social change
@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ that graph showed more stagnant labour compensation
Which overstates productivity.
Yeah, because of these reasons:
> it doesn't account for depreciation in productivity; it doesn't use all worker's wages, just a selection; it doesn't take into account all productivity; it use two different inflation indexes; it doesn't use compensation - workers aren't simply paid in wages.
I SAW THAT
Your graph is showing wages only, not total compensation
Among the other issues.
What do you define as total compensation
Here is an article going over the issues in more detail and correcting for it: https://www.piie.com/blogs/realtime-economic-issues-watch/growing-gap-between-real-wages-and-labor-productivity
