re: So both of those percentages account for inflation?

My guess is yes since he used the term "real" on both. That's implies an adjusted for inflation number.

re: I wonder what part of that is due to outsourcing pressures.

Some, I'm sure, but that's probably impossible to quantify.

One thing we know is that US corporate profits have been setting records in recent years and little of that money is "trickling down" to non-managerial wages. The rising tide is only lifting the yachts... the little boats are sinking.
