| Wages, a General Statement |
This Administration is the first to have a net job loss since President Hoover during the Great Depression. We continue to export jobs and the Republicans have no strategy to prevent it. Outside the farm sector, real wages are falling after accounting for inflation. While corporations may be earning more, working Americans are earning less.
We still have a wage gap, and it translates into a pension gap. Women still make less money (about 76 cents on the dollar) and usually work fewer years than men. Taking time out of the workforce to raise children or care for ailing parents or spouses, women typically lose more than a decade of earnings. They are also more likely to work part-time and less likely to be covered by an employer-sponsored pension plan.
