LOL. Largely it isn't because of enormous differences in negotiating power between employers and employees.
Personally, I'm being asked to do more and more (we rolled more than one eliminated department's responsibilities into my group AND laid off part of my department). Each of my engineers contributes more to the bottom line than ever before. We're more profitable year over year.
Yet, our wages are stagnant.
Where's this trickle down that conservatives are always on about? Hasn't been happening, isn't going to happen.
