It’s not just unions and real wages going down. This is essentially the entire question that caused Elizabeth Warren and her daughter to write The Two Income Trap. It’s a wonderful book written by two very accomplished students of American personal finance and bankruptcy. The truth is much more insidious than just being caused by a drop in per capita union membership.
