For instance, the typical 27-year-old man’s annual earnings in 2013 were 31 percent less than those of a typical 27-year-old man in 1969. The data suggest that today’s young men are unlikely to make up for that decline by earning more in the future.

Comment:

What the hell took so long to figure THAT out? I knew what coming decades ago, and knew what was wrong decades ago.  Obviously the media only admits things after everyone already knows.

Many posts I made re the “31 percent less pay” than back in the day, means the economy is running like a real unemployment rate of 31%. 4.5% unemployment rate today is the alleged nominal unadjusted rate. Adjusted for less purchasing power, we have a REAL rate of 31% unemployed effect.

I think these so-called educated economists need some blue collar help.
