American workers' wages stagnant, even in a great economy: why?

RE: American workers' wages stagnant, even in a great economy: why?
Quote:I don't believe so.  

However, I may quibble some over basing it only on output.   Much like a purchase decision, wage is a negotiation based on supply and demand, what it's worth to the consumer and so on. On both ends, you can ask for what you want, but you also have to keep in mind what the guy down the street is selling or buying.
