NBER

Post by _subgenius »

The median male who turned 55 in 2013 earned $136,400 less in lifetime income, measured in 2013 dollars, than a 55-year-old 16 years earlier.

Average lifetime incomes of men entering the workforce since the 1960s have stagnated or fallen, while those of women have increased, according to the analysis presented in Lifetime Incomes in the United States Over Six Decades (NBER Working Paper No. 23371).

The Two Income Trap by Elizabeth Warren does a good job of explaining the dilemma experienced by families.

Unrelated to the questions asked in OP, but thanks for stopping by.
And Mrs Warren could not be less qualified to discuss this matter....a.k.a., not a good job explaining, not even a good job fundraising

Why didn't you link the information directly?

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

If you would have actually watched the presentation it directly addresses that question.

To the extent that they are accurate. Are you inclined to believe that they are not?

no, that is not my inclination here...what about your perception on the modern labor market in America? does the data in the OP have any influence on that perception? or does it simply echo what you already perceived?
