Wages Have Decreased by 92% Over The Last 130 Years Since the Gilded Age:

Shhhh! All these people on here think they are rich. They play the stocks so they think they have to be smart. The whole time being played.

It's all a joke. When The shit hits the wall this will be icing on the cake.

Just waiting on the cherry.

Exactly why I'm buying a 65k home with a 30k/yr salary.

Inflation will take care of it.

Yeah but now both people are working, so for families wages have only declined 84 percent.

Lol, the braggarts here inherited money , one spread her legs and married rich. , trust fund, etc. what they have was given by someone else lol

Tee hee... Ya'll tellin' truth here!

Is this true? Fascinating. Can you provide any evidence BEYOND WIKIPEDIA to support this assertion? I for one would be most interested in looking over said evidence. Thanks in advance.

lol very true

You are looking at the evidence right in front of you.

Admittedly the 92% figure is for the shit-hole known as LA.

If you use the US average, wages have only decreased by the following:

$72,000 after tax = roughly $126,000 / year before tax.

(1 - 30 / 126) = a decrease of 76%

the rent is too darned high

I need more proof. I was a kid in the 70's and nobody had shit. A bicycle was considered something expensive.

Shack in Detroit or a shack in the middle of nowhere with no jobs to be found.

Anywhere there are good jobs with better pay the housing is 4x more expensive.

Neither me nor my wife can find a job.

My wife hasn't worked in 13 years and I haven't worked in 2.

What reality are you living in? And where?

agree, if its so, then short term thinkers are doomed, YAH rebuke the rothschids and their .gove lackeys and financial whores

We are going on decade 3 with many not seeing any increase while everything is going to triple in price since 1999.

If you have kids they will probably be living with you forever because your average rambler is going to be half a million dollars in another 10 years.

it makes no sense...productivity rose 100 fold...I was in Graphic Design in 80's...right now I can literally do full day of work (back then)in less than 5 minutes...

All thanks to central planning, i.e. the fed and global central banks.

Yep. In 1979 I had a brief union job at a supermarket stocking shelves. I was making $16/hour. My rent in a bachelor suite in Vancouver's west end was $235/month. My hydro was $12 every two months. A bus ride was 50 cents. Down the street there was a veggie mart, every week I would spend around 5 bucks to fill a bag with vegetables and fruit for the week. In less than a year I was able to save 10K and used that to travel around the US using my thumb all the way to Mexico.

Now someone doing that same job is making around $15/hour but their bus to work costs at least $2.75 each way and more if they live farther away. You can't find a bachelor suite in the suburbs for under $1200/month (the suite I lived in now rents for $2000/month), your hydro is at least $100/month and 5 dollars might get you a cauliflower.

I feel bad for the young folks just starting out. They have no chance of saving a penny on an entry level job. At work we have a girl with a masters degree making $17/hour.

Uh- master’s in what? English? Communications? “Business?” If you have a master’s in something useful, you are NOT stocking shelves....

Our interns in quant master’s programs make $30/hour at my company. And when we hire them full time they get $90,000 as an entry level salary. Plus annual bonus of 10-20% based on company performance.

Sounds about right.

I didn't say she is stocking shelves. She has a useless masters in Psychology, and she ends up taking a job that isn't related to her field just to pay the rent and eat, and she isn't the only one. In her own field there is nothing available and starting her own business is prohibitively expensive and full of taxes, permits and regulations. I encourage young people to go into the trades, but lately that isn't a sure thing either as immigrants are being moved in to keep the wages down in the trades.

They bought a whole lot more whiskey than we buy TVs, computers, or even vehicles.

Not entirely a joke. Look up whiskey consumption from those days and earlier--it is amazing. Most of the nation was likely drunk by noon, but still functioning. Good things horse can't run a hundred miles an hour.

This is preposterous. She can teach psych from a minimum of 50k per year. There are literally thousands of jobs you can do with a psych degree. There is some other factor you're not disclosing.

Maybe but leisure time has become a lifestyle for even the poorest.

Dude... I know plenty of people with master's degrees working in fucking stupid shit like graphic design.

College "education" is a scam/cult.

They are screwing the cultists over hard.

Maybe in the US, but not in Canada. Especially if she doesn't want to get poked.

What is more noteworthy... that lazy people are lazy... or that hard working people are paid like literal slaves?

Think hard about this.

We are but peasants under a different name.

We all have smart phones and flat screens so we're just Ghetto Rich and think we're actually rich.
