Real hourly wages in the USA went up 0.1% from December of 2016 through December of 2017. That’s one-tenth of one percent for a year.
How about January of 2017 through January of 2018? Still just 0.1%.
Overall, wages for people in the top 40% are substantially higher than they were in the 1970s, but wages for the bottom 60% are about where they were 45 years ago.
