Congratulations yes, you have correctly identified that wages have raised significantly in a short period of time. That's still well below where they should be, and it is not indicative of how many people are struggling.But it doesn't explain why people's attitudes towards the economy are worse than before the significant increase in wages. If they're this mad now, shouldn't they have been just as mad about the economy in 2019? It's like the panics about crime or immigration when the numbers have gone down: if conditions haven't gotten worse, what really explains the shift in attitudes? --- Please don't be weird in my topics |

Kinda sucks to point out but investments / stocks definitely mean jackshit to most Americans living either paycheck to paycheck or not all that far from it.The good news is that people at the bottom rungs of the ladder have done better than those at the top https://www.epi.org/publication/swa-wages-2023/ Between 2019 and 2023, hourly wage growth was strongest at the bottom of the wage distribution. The 10th-percentile real hourly wage grew 12.1% over the four-year period. To be clear, these are real (inflation-adjusted) wage changes. Overall inflation grew nearly 20%, or about 4.5% annually, between 2019 and 2023. Even with this historically fast inflation, particularly in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic recession, low-end wages grew substantially faster than price growth. Nominal wages (i.e., not inflation-adjusted) rose by roughly 34% cumulatively since 2019. --- Please don't be weird in my topics |

- I was not expecting the arch to be as cool as it is. Its scale is legitimately awe-inspiring in person. Also, I had been under the impression my whole life that it was made out of concrete or stone, like the Washington Monument. - The soccer game was a good time, even though City lost. I really like that stadium; it's a lot more open and airy than Red Bull Arena, but still retains a great atmosphere from the supporter's section. Also I had a cheesesteak that had no business being as good as it was. - On the way back to the hotel we passed a CVS that had a sushi section? God help the people buying sushi from a CVS in the middle of the country. I can't imagine the Cardinals will be playing tonight, give this weather. Which is a bummer and means we need to find some indoor alternative plans. --- Please don't be weird in my topics |
