I hope no one takes this the wrong way, because I fully support equality for all races and sexes, but there's also double the workforce now. Women entering the workforce and eventually gaining near, or sometimes even superior footing, means that there are twice as many people competing for the same jobs. A larger candidate pool means companies can pay less and it's harder to get a job for the individual.

All true, but neither of these parent posts address the fact these efficiencies we’re not passed onto the worker but hoarded at the top

If pay would of stayed near the slope of productivity gains in the US none of this would be a problem.

Every average worker from french fry cook to teacher to nurse to engineer should be paid double what they are if everything stayed in line. Or you at least increase the top tax rate to redistribute the money back to normal folks.

But the US has done none of these which leads us on the path to the most common reason nations fall. Excessive amounts of inequality….
