> wages have been stagnant since the 60s they have been stagnant since the 80's, they had a jump in the 70's to keep pace with all of the inflation. your employer also has to pay extra taxes for you now, and provide you with medical care and a retirement plan for some reason. so there went part of your raise. then we imported labor to drive down wages at the bottom, which will rot out the middle class, and outsourced the good jobs we couldn't import labor for. your employer didn't do that, the central banks and the money people push for that. lowering labor costs makes stock prices rise.
