Real wage growth has been stagnant for the last 30 years or so and has not


moved up since Trump was president — even went down a few quarters. In fact, if you break RWG down by income brackets it’s pretty clear the only group doing better than they were a generation ago are thr top earners (surprise!). That trend has continued in spades under Trump, especially with the obnoxious and completely uncalled for individual tax cut.

That was the subject a few days ago and something dumbass Klanzanski seems to keep missing. No one disputes that unemployment has ticked down for the last decade (including these last two years which have continued) but inflation is coming back and real wages aren’t growing. And if household income is higher simply because you have more families with both spouses working (in many cases because the primary breadwinner can no longer support the whole family on one wage) and core expenses like healthcare, food, electricity, etc. are also higher it’s hard to make much of the statistic.

If you read the article that Klanny thought was some kind of long slow blowjob to Trump you would see that’s more or less what it says.

As for real wages, here you go:
