Modern management believes that the lower ranks need the whip while upper ranks need the carrot to get motivated. It's the same as people are getting nervous about inflation when lower wages are rising but not when the top 1% incomes are going up.
> Average weekly earnings since January are up $15.59, but with inflation surging to levels not seen since the early 1980s, real weekly wages are down $8.99, the largest real-dollar drop in wages since Bureau of Labor Statistics data were first collected in 2006. By comparison, real wages have fallen more in the past seven months than they rose in the final 27 months of the Obama presidency.
I'm willing to believe this, but I want to be clear - you've marked an average bottom 50% wage and an average top 1% income. Is that top 1% wage income or all income?
