This article is: A.) over a decade old B.) doesn’t actually show falling wages C.) horribly misleading and from a highly biased think tank

Why not just post a graph of real wages over time? Why post a decade old article that avoids the only graph that really answers the question?

Here’s real median weekly earnings. The only time they’ve been higher than the most recent data is when the 2020 stimulus payments went out. A reasonable person can’t possibly look at this and conclude that wages are falling.

Small issue… the Trump administration blatantly lies. Anyone who publishes numbers that hurt their narrative literally gets fired.
