CEO Compensation Increased 940% Between 1978 and 2018, Workers’ Only by 12%

[georgephillip]

Pretty funny that workers wages stopped rising not long after we changed immigration laws to allow massive Third WOrld immigration.


But hey, let's not try changing the things that cause "inequality". That misses the point.


The point is just to talk about it. And make vague anti-American posts.

They stopped rising after we cut the bottom out from unions.

Workers who can’t organize are left on their own. Easy prey to corporate masters

Your wetbacks went to work under the table for a shitload less...Wetbacks ruined unions. See how this shit works...How can you have all the pet humans your heart desires and climbing wages?

Don't discount the effect of legal immigrants.


Wages don't rise, unless there is a SHORTAGE OF LABOR.

Workers' wages also rise when there's an increase in UNION representation.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Perhaps. Do you wish to address my point about surplus labor?


Or is bringing in more dem voters more important than concern about wages?

Perhaps. Do you wish to address my point about surplus labor?

All human labor is a thing of value, i.e., a commodity, but unlike other commodities labor also creates value. The "owners" of the means of production derive their profit from exploiting the surplus labor of their workers.

In this system owners do everything necessary to increase profit: they fire workers, while expecting those who remain to increase productivity. They decrease benefits and set workers in competition with one another which drives down wages.

In short, it's not immigrants who decrease wages; it is the inherent unfairness of businesses run for profits which are split between owners and high-end managers, but where none of the surplus goes to the workers who create it.

Exploitation & Surplus Value

 

[Picaro]

Inflation in 1971 wan't that big a deal. Inflation after 1973 was. The 'Oil Crisis' was also accompanied by global food shortage, and American Big Ag made more money selling American grown produce overseas than it did domestically. Wages never kept up, not even close, but that doesn't stop right wing class warfare fans crying about minimum wage increases, seeing as how they got so accustomed to cheap labor they now actually consider it their right and the government is supposed to keep it cheap for them and make it even cheaper, since the Red Chinese have an advantage over us n stuff.

The U.S. Chamber Of Commerce is as big a fan of criminal illegal alien infestations as any left winger is; in fact it's the left wing that is now Wall Street's biggest shills.

Not to sound like a 'conspiracy theorist' but it all goes back to the 1963 coup.
Washington essentially became globalists headquarters.
Just look at who are the biggest companies coming out of the Vietnam war- Raytheon, Lockheed, Northrop, GE, United Tech, ....China.

apparently few realize economic slavery creates disparity, and fuels socialism

that's the inherent cognitive dissonance programmed into us, always focused on the brass ring riding the capitalist merry go round

Exploitation & Surplus Value

That ignores a number of factors and historical trends.


1. The owners provide capital, the "means of production" and assume all the risk.

2. immigrants DO increase the supply of labor, thus driving down price, ie wages.

3. Wages DID rise along with productivity. Until the immigration act of 65 flooded the labor market with Third World labor.

An Economic Policy Institute study shows that the dramatic increase in CEO compensation has a large impact on increasing inequality--worker pay could have doubled without the rise in CEO income.

But, greed is good isn't it ?

class warfare in the early morn sweet
EVISCERATE THE PROLETARIAT !

Yes the republicans sent our well paying jobs to china with their war on unions. Now they pretend to want those jobs back.

Why do you say "pretend"?

It’s a political game. They don’t care about workers, they sent the jobs away in the first place.

On the flip side, labor unions and workers who organized those were singularly responsible for China, India, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, etc. being the economic powers they are today, thereby causing the massive loss of American jobs. Did you expect all those American manufacturers to buckle and lose profit because of the extortion from organized labor?

And I suppose you now claim to want those jobs back? That is funny.

That was one of Trump's primary messages. Did you miss the primaries?


Why do you think that is funny?

Because the republican war on unions is why they left in the first place.

so we send jobs away and then let people illegally come here for jobs no one "wants" and yet we wonder where the disparity is coming from.

So......you should work to become a CEO rather than a regular employee....good to know...now, people should go to school, go to work, get the experience and climb the ladder.....just like those CEOs did....right?

CEOs know the right people, it’s not about working hard.

Staaaagflation.

Before 1971, the working class was doing great and the one percent was doing lousy. Of course, after 1971, the working class started doing lousy and the one ercent started doing great.

Reason being is they completely debased the dollar in 1971.

Now the one percenters get all of that freshly printed fiat currency and they get to invest it first.

There's more to it than that, but it's been said a gazillion times already.

Now the one percenters get all of that freshly printed fiat currency and they get to invest it first.

When the Fed buys bonds from the one percent, they get cash that yields zero.
Why is that an unfair advantage?
They can sell it today, to anyone, and get cash at zero yield.

Whatever you do, don't sell anything to anyone, for cash.

You one-percenter bastard!!!

There's more to it than that,

Less, much less.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yeah, Marxist economics.
How'd that work for the average East German worker?

Marxism merely provides a balanced foundation for capitalism to
work for everyone. ( I think it's called democracy - something that's rarely been
actually tried out through history .)

how, telling.

 

[Mac1958]

Cool. Everyone should work hard to become a CEO.

And the rest can be lowly compensated minions

We're watching this play out in real time, as our GDP hovers at 2.0%.

Most Americans, particularly in the middle class, don't have the cash needed to spend us into a better economy. So all they can do is borrow, and consumer debt is now getting up there. At some point soon, that stops. That may already be happening.

This isn't that difficult to understand, yet it's simply out of the ideological reach of many. In theory, libertarian economics looks real cool 'n stuff, but it flies in the face of a healthy macroeconomy.

CEO compensation has grown 940% since 1978: Typical worker compensation has risen only 12% during that time

"From 1978 to 2018, CEO compensation grew by 1,007.5% (940.3% under the options-realized measure), far outstripping S&P stock market growth (706.7%) and the wage growth of very high earners (339.2%).

"In contrast, wages for the typical worker grew by just 11.9%."

Can you find a way to blame immigrants for CEO compensation levels?

The big ticket unions cut their own ballz off. And when it came down to it thought of themselves first instead of their brothers when times got tough for them. Everything grandfathered and guarantees for those lucky enough to be. Government unions and government employees need to be busted also. Corrupted trade unions and monopolies need to be dealt with. But you are right about CEO's. For when the failing American production companies closed here a few decades ago or so, CEO's got big payouts for their ineptitude. That I did not forget. p.s.....Progs bolted from purchasing American made products before anyone else. And frankly after being screwed over with American products like cars over and over and being treated like crap from dealers and repair places, I do not care anymore. Asian cars rock!

Union workers used to receive a salary they could raise a family on, send their kids to college, retire with a pension, full health benefits

Workers no longer do.

Yep.
Because the Left took over colleges and put families into enormous debt and destroyed the healthcare system too.

Ummm......that has absolutely nothing to do with union pay
