And from the Census report: Table A-2 on Page 38 shows that men's earnings are lower now, adjusted for inflation, than they they were in 1973...

But, I think I know why Old Guy has taken to spout off Boss Hog's fight song and Big Mick hit upon it also... Yeah, I don't think Old Guy was on the labor end of the sheet meatl industry... He speaks very much like management... BTW, the Census Report has some very good news for management... the top 1/5th of income earners earn 50.4 percent of all the money and thgis is the highest percentage since 1967... And even better news for management... The biggest gains have been enjoyed by the upper 5%...

Like I said... We need more unions, not less... The laws that are supposed to be helping the working class are really helping Boss Hog...

BTW, why is it okey for a major corporation to reorganize under the bnakruptcy laws and break promises made to their empoyeees but not okay for some poor 19 year old college kid who has been enticed by a credit card company no given the same protection under the bankruptcy laws in regards to the presditory lenders who all but held the poor kid to the ground to get him to take ther card in the first place???
