When this trend is corrected, would be a start. Productivity of the American worker has increased at a higher rate than their compensation. Basically you're working harder, but you're not being paid as much as workers once were for that same amount of effort. At the same time, compensation for the upper class hasn't stagnated.
This info is from the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) and the EPI (Economic Policy Institute).
The modern business model fosters more production by less workers at lower compensation rates. It's just a fact of life.
Do more with less...that is the mantra because turd world countries are going to compete with you big time thanks to stupid trade agreements.
