“More spinning from CBS otherwise known as The Center for BS!”

Jobs are getting worse for the average worker. I work in employee benefits for 35 years. Benefits have been dropping and employees pay more every year.

The minimum wage I earned in 1978 is almost $15 an hour today based upon the cpi calculator.

We are on the race to the bottom. Illegals, offshoring, HB-1 lowering wages.

Companies are now hiring temp workers so no benefits etc

Other than maybe 35-40% of workers who are doing great the other 60% have been treading water.

I agree; if the economy was as great as some would like to believe Trump would be polling at 90% (despite posturing, most voters vote with their wallets). Our standard of living has been falling for decades, and it shows in how few young people see having a family or owning a home as a realistic goal.
