I never thought I would be agreeing with a redditor typing an neurodivergent mental breakdown 
Its getting bad in the last couple of months we have had 2 assignation attempts on Trump a third non-attempt where a guy tried to sneak into his press conferences with a gun, we have had two shootings at Christian schools, an attack in new Orleans that killed a bunch of people and finally a guy tried to blowup a cybertruck in front of trump tower. these attacks are all over the place but the one connecting thread is it is all far right violence.

Real wages have been stagnant since the 70s despite an increase in productivity, while corporate profits have ballooned.

REAL OG !neolibs will remember this one. It's THE shitty epi graph. You know the one.
Turns out all you need to do is mislabel a graph and then double-down when called out, and you can get government employees to collectively waste thousands of hours writing up 30 page rebuttals of your meme.
Maybe I'll make an effortpost about it some day and join the club.

Very influential NGO/think tank. Hosts their annual summit in Davos that a bunch of politicians attend.
Backed by a bunch of big corporations, like Amazon, Google, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, to name a few.

WEF is just Comicon for powerful globalists. It's not dictating the global agenda anymore than Comicon dictates the next Marvel movie or Akham game

But ComicCon is where they announce what they're doing or have done that the public will experience soon. The analogy doesn't make them sound better.

I'm not saying it's dictating policy, but that it is a mouthpiece for the globalists who fund it.

Your chart shows real wages increasing by 9% since the 70s. Try again. Do you commies and rightoids have any argument other than envy for other people getting richer even though you are too -- just not as much?

You really are r-slurred. It shows wages growing inline with increasing productivity until the 70s at which point the lines begin to diverge.
Why have real wages only increased 9% despite productivity increasing 74%?

An interesting question -- but not the one originally raised about wages keeping up with inflation.

You moved the goal posts, neighbor.
I believe my original quote was that wages have "stagnated", and I don't see how you can say that a 9% real wage growth over 50 years isn't stagnant.
Especially when housing costs (the largest expense for Americans) have increased so much relative to the CPI:

You know it's trivially easy to show who's moving goalposts, right?
This is what I originally replied to. It's not your comment, but it's the one that set the goalposts:
(emphasis mine)
"Not keeping up with inflation" is false over almost any 5+ year period and has definitely not been the case on average over the past 40-50 years.

Change "not" to "barely" and it's correct.
You should keep yourself safe btw.

Even if you doctor your claim that way, you're still wrong.
That's because, dumbass, an 8-9% gain in real wages since the 70s is one of the largest gains in wealth that the world has ever seen. It's more absolute wealth gain than happened ever over all years prior to 1700. !neolibs

Muh stagnant wages since 1970s and corporate greed.
Housing has ballooned because of regulations, zoning and lack of new building. Also you can't compare the material costs of a house built in the 1950s with one today. People talking about le stagnant wages act as if up to the 1970s Americans had a better lifestyle which isn't true, they didn't consoooom as much as they do now.

Director of Diversity and InclusionExecutive nuclearshill 1mo ago #7587423 spent 0 currency on pingsAll westerners should be forced to spend at least a month in a 3rd world shithole to fully understand just how they have it with current tech.
B-words clearly don't understand how much time you save by having a washing machine and a dryer. Or a microwave. Or yes, the internet. If I had to pay business taxes and licensing fees in person, I'd be spending entire days doing nothing but waiting outside a government office.
At the other end of the spectrum, the ancaps should also get to enjoy a month of no government regulations. I think I can count on one hand the amount of wheelchair accessible buildings in my native country.

I think I'd say they did have a better lifestyle precisely because they didn't consoooom as much. The basics were more affordable and lots of bullshit gadgets didn't exist so they didn't miss them.

In BLS data wages are only hourly employees, it's excluding all salaried workers. They publish a separate income series but that doesn't let r-slurred people make a point.
The difference in productivity between salaried and hourly is caused by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_income_inequality_in_the_United_States#Skill-biased_technological_change the wagies haven't seen much, if any, increase in productivity so they don't get paid more.

"Data are for compensation of production/nonsupervisory workers in the private sector and net productivity (growth of output of goods and services less depreciation per hour worked) of the total economy. Hourly compensation is derived from inflating the average wages of production/nonsupervisory workers from the BLS Current Employment Statistics (CES) by a compensation-to-wage ratio. The compensation-to-wage ratio is calculated by dividing the average total compensation (wages and salaries plus benefits) by the average wage and salary accruals of all full- and part-time employees from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) interactive tables. The 2013 compensation-to-wage ratio used in the calculation of hourly compensation was estimated using the growth rate of the compensation-to-wage ratio from 2012 to 2013 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC)."
I believe this means their data includes salaried workers, but I don't have the spoons to dig through it right now.

what measurement is "productivity" on that graph
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Probably total factor productivity.
Measures of labor productivity compare the growth in output to the growth in hours worked and measures of total factor productivity (TFP), also known as multifactor productivity (MFP), compare growth in output to the growth in a combination of inputs that include labor, capital, energy, materials, and purchased services.Jump in the discussion.
