U.S. seems stuck with slow wage growth despite strong jobs data

6. Your Post Reveals The Truth Of The Reagan Revolution.

When Reagan announced his new "service economy" in 1981 I knew that workers were screwed. I was at DOL and anyone paying attention in my profession knew what those code words meant. Yet voters have consistently voted GOP into power at key times since then. Now we have a GOP Congress again after all the damage they have done over the years.

The real truth is under the GOP guidelines only about 15% of the jobs will pay a living wage over the long term. We are still eliminating good jobs replacing them with bad. And the real brutal truth is that the GOP and its business allies favor a "contracted" and "subcontracted" labor force where there is NO traditional relationship with the employer.

As long as voters have the heebee jee bees over unions and pro labor policies it will only get worse. Just try to run a a pro labor pro regulation candidate anywhere and see what happens to you. You get trashed by the RW as a communist and voters run the other way.
