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

Wages stagnant, but more people working, then business IS spending more on wages. Workers, en mass, do have more money.

And not considering the 'bump' in pay from welfare/unemployment insurance to actual minimum wage (at least) is disingenuous.

You can alway look at average wage instead of quibbling about this and that effect with no consideration for the magnitude of their impact on the whole.
