Looks like earnings have improved since NAFTA.
Now as you would amortize a loan, go pull the government's numbers on "Core Inflation Rates" (Big Joke) and the real inflation rates from the gov and run the numbers in an Excel spreadsheet.......I think you'll see something astounding.
Even in 1982 dollars, that's only a total of 9.7% increase for the 14 year period which is not inflation offset.
BTW, thanks for the income data....still....find the manufacturing hours info...GOOD LUCK!!
