    So, do you have a more comprehensive set of data? Because when people were posting about this circa 2012, the above link is what they pointed to. Now that it’s not showing the same answers, people suddenly don’t like it.

    Edit: a more robust way to make a similar argument is to point out the disparity between wages and productivity since the 1960s. That’s a huge gap, it’s only gotten wider, and it’d take a long time to fix without a revolution.

        In other words, what do you use to back up your assertion that wages have not matched inflation?
