The real wages of America’s workforce are falling rapidly.
Wage growth is falling further and further behind as inflation continues to spiral out of control, the Washington Examiner reported .
The average hourly earnings for fall employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by only 0.3% in April. This is lower than what was expected by economists, and according to data released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics this past Fredy, nominal earnings have increased 5.5% on an annual basis.
This earnings growth rate is far below the rate of inflation. Although April’s inflation numbers are not yet available, the Consumer Price Index grew by 8.5% in the year ending in March.
Real earnings appear to be falling by multiple percentage points.
On Friday, the White House Council of Economic Advisers acknowledged the unfavorable growth rates and said, “While we do not yet have inflation numbers for April, it is likely that yearly nominal wage growth was slower than inflation.”
Despite this data not being available, it can be determined that inflation earnings were falling at the fastest pace in 40 years before April.
Jason Furman, the chairman of former President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, wrote in a post for the Peterson Institute of International Economics that the White House’s Friday statement “suggests wage growth may be slowing.”This means that nominal wage growth is slowing while inflation continues to accelerate.Furman’s analysis presented an estimate of wage growth that adjusted for the fact that recently released hourly earnings figures released Friday are affected by hiring practices in the current workforce. For instance, wages might be artificially lowered if more low-income workers are hired back within a given month.Essentially what this means is that pay rates are not growing fast enough to keep up with the rising costs of daily essentials and other expenses like gas, groceries, […]
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our brand new GiveSendGo page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
