1. In your graph 1960 is the base - it shows that there has been a decline in real wages since the 1970's - please learn how to read.

2. After you finish your remedial reading class refer to table 2A - college graduates suffered a decline in real wages from 1973-97 ($ 18.60 to $ 18.38/hr) - I don't believe that even you would describe college graduates as people with little or no education.

3. Grow up.

Your table 2A shows a real decline of 1% in the wages of college graduates (but no further education) from 1973-1997, but a real increase of 5% for the same group from 1979-1997. I love your technique, though, in order to prove real wages are falling, you simply exclude those groups whose real wages are rising. LOL

And since you persist in mis-reading my graph, let me ask you, since when is a drop in the rate of increase in something considered a drop in something's level? Please, don't ask a Democrat.
