only recently....since the economic downturn...have real wages been stagnant. Otherwise Nominal wages have increased and so have what those wages can purchase...Cars are cheaper...computers are cheaper...appliances are cheaper...Cellphones, TVs etc etc....and yet the median wage is still over $40,000....Think of how you lived in the 70's and 80's...I know, having grown up in the 80's(partly
) that we are far better off than we were....yes...I can post data...but I think if you stop to think about it, that you won't make me....
