One thing we do know: Wages and salaries — which account for most of the income of most Americans — have been rising slowly. Median weekly earnings are up 1.5% in the past year, according to a separate report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which exactly matches the increase in prices over that time. In other words, the median worker didn’t get a raise this past year. ei.marketwatch.com//Multimedia/2015/06/11/Photos/MG/MW-DN936_wages__20150611161921_MG.jpg?uuid=32dfcee2-1077-11e5-b99a-ce59a1c5ace1 The share of national income going to workers has been falling lately. A smaller share of the nation’s total income has been going to wages and salaries, and more to profits and income from assets owned. From the 1970s through the early 2000s, workers received around 65% of national income in compensation, but after the financial crisis their share fell to below 61%. In the latest quarter, the share going to workers rose to 62%, still far below the long-term average. It may not sound like much, but the difference between 62% and 65% amounts to $460 billion a year that workers aren’t getting, or about $3,000 per worker. Imagine how great consumers’ finances would be if they were getting paid $3,000 more each year. www.marketwatch.com/story/the-number-that-makes-us-bullish-on-america-99-trillion-2015-06-12?page=2

And that cost-of-living applies to all spending overall, not to the typical spending of the workers. Many food items--which are a bigger part of the median worker's spending than of the top 1%--have increased far more than +1.5%. The share of national income going to workers has been falling lately.

When selecting a high-quality gaming platform, it is crucial that it be able to adhere to all requirements for usability and quality, which in turn guarantees recognition and acceptance. This is why I want to suggest sportbet.one/litecoin I'm aware of how quickly and effectively they expand and enhance their capabilities, and their integration of cryptocurrency systems is especially impressive. I also want to draw attention to the wide selection of games and broadcasts, which is very useful because it enables you to have more fun with just one tool.

Friends, I would want to share my expertise and experience with Viagra. It was awful when I used to have erection issues. But right now, I'm a totally different man! I'm more self-assured and capable of pleasing my lover once more thanks to Viagra. You should definitely study the website's www.faastpharmacy.com/blog/exploring-over-the-counter-viagra comprehensive material and try utilising Viagra, in my opinion. It truly is incredible!
