 Nearly 6 in 10 Americans earned more last year, even after inflation: Study
by Julia Shapero - 01/03/24 3:44 PM ET

Nearly 6 in 10 American workers saw their wages grow more quickly than inflation in the past year, according to a new analysis from the Center for American Progress (CAP), a left-leaning think tank.

Some 57 percent of workers earned higher inflation-adjusted wages in November compared to one year earlier, the analysis found. This represents a larger share of workers than the average before the COVID-19 pandemic, between 2017 and 2019.

“In fact, real wages for a typical worker stand at about the level expected if there had been no pandemic or recession in early 2020 and if they had kept growing at the same rate as in years prior,” the CAP noted in the study released Wednesday.

Americans have seen a median increase in hourly wages of about 45 cents per hour after inflation, or more than $900 per year for a full-time, year-round worker, according to the think tank’s analysis.

Even though prices have gone up 20 percent since the end of 2019, the study found that wages for a typical worker have gone up 23 percent.

Oh my.  6 in ten working people make more then inflation.  they report that even though prices have gone up 20 percent since the end of 2019, the study found that wages for a typical worker have gone up 23 percent.

Funny how  100% of retires or the unemployed can't claim that.    How stupid are these people spouting this shit.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

People who normally stay out of the workforce (e.g. stay-at-home moms, retirees, etc.) found themselves being forced to rejoin the workforce in order to make ends meet.  And the Hill is trying to spin this as a success.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
