Charts for Pre-Coiners™️

Be wary of metrics that involve averages on wages, as these are pulled up by the top 1%

The better metric to ascertain progress is median wages, which have flatlined since 1971

The situation is worse as CPI is lower than actual inflation

Likewise. A different but related chart shows *negative* median wages compared to expenses workers have had, 1971-2022 (BLS data)
