In the 50's a single person in the US with a decent job requiring little or even no education could provide a comfortable home, education for their children, etc etc by themselves. Why were they paid so much or why hasn't that pay transitioned to 2017?

Those are sad tits

Price inflation and stagnant real wages. Now GTFO with those ugly-ass tits.

Women's suffrage and 1965 act
By doubling the work force and flooding the country with browns, it cleaved the value of labour to absolutely fucking nothing, yet still ensured high profits for the top because they still had all the labour they'd ever need

Jews

Fuck I wish I lived in the Old America. God damn, why does life keep on getting worse.

Class warfare by a pretend bourgeois left.

Jews introduced the idea of the two-worker household to double the number of people in the labor force overnight. Convincing women to work was one of the most profitable scams the kike had ever pulled off, as twice the workers competing for the same number of positions meant that they'd underbid each other out of desperation, forcing wages to plummet.

There is no way to compete for wages when there are more workers than jobs. Thus wages will always be stagnant.

This is why the jew is fighting so hard to flood the labor force with tens of millions of extra beaners and shitskins.

poor people need welfare, and you can be damn sure that the rich aren't going to pay for that shit

Saddest tits I've seen this year

Three big reasons:

1) Jews
2) Leftism
3) Feminism

Grobarization(tm)

Funny, I just read an almost identical post on Reddit, hmm.

All the union manufacturing jobs went to ching chong ding dong countries

median income has not kept increasing

Sad tiddies
Check em and see
Sad tiddies aged like 103
Sad tiddies, sad tiddays

^this guy gets it

think of the extra costs now to be "comfortable"

internet, cable tv, air conditioning, store bought clothes, fast food to just name a few things

people had gardens to tend to once they got home from work

>too many workers
>money not tied to anything real ie silver or gold

The value of the dollar is nothing, and they dont have to pay anything because there are far more workers than work.

Fix the money and fix importation of workers. Drive industry to create more american jobs while blocking out competing companies trying to send work to other countries.

Trump is shitting on the brown legions flooding in, but he also needs to END THE FUCKING FED

increased the labor force exponentially

Women entered the labour market driving down wages for unskilled white collar work.

Immigrants pushed down wages for unskilled blue collar work.

Technological progress has automated a lot of work.

People are more concentrated in big cities and there's large malls outside the cities, which leads to centralization and economies of scale, both of which lead to less middle-income jobs.

Outsourcing etc. have put a lot of pressure on the job market, meaning the bargaining power of workers has been quite bad in private industry.

Taxes are way higher cause gibmedats have expanded for darkies, women and fatties/old people.

Men are not motivated enough to start businesses due to the socialist and anti-male environment, so there is less demand for workers by small businesses.

People prefer to take comfy bullshit jobs instead of going into trades or dangerous jobs which still pay pretty damn well.

Housing costs way more because old people pressure the government to keep housing prices high through monetary policy, building laws, etc.

Education costs way more because people get useless degrees and don't understand that if the government subsidizes its cost, its going to inflate the cost. Also since the economy is so shit, even people with good degrees have to accept shitty jobs.

Also please don't post such udders again.

Being a laborer doesn't pay what it did because of Mexicans and repetitive jobs have been automated

You're either working service or skilled these days and most people have no skills which is why you see 50 years olds working at grocery stores.

If you have some sort of skill you're going to find a good job

import millions of cheap workers
Wonder why low skill wages fell.

Are those Eliza's

society used to be designed around a single-earning male while women were expected to stay at home and take care of the children and home. Now society's designed around a dual-income household where a man and a woman are meant to share expenses (basically roommate) and both bring in earnings, and all goods and services have inflated in price to reflect this shift.

you can still do that, you just have to economize.

live in a trailer park, drive an old used car, learn how to fix it yourself, 'know' people who can help you out.
