I simply picked the same yearly reference points as the NY Times article. What the hell are you talking about in reference to my data? The difference in male income between 1999 and 2006 was -$1774 and on the female side was +671, with many more men working, which in families would tend to skew the negative side more. If you go back to 1996 the numbers get better, but barely. Pick any year from 1998 on and income for males is lower in the last two years of the study... Looking at the data over the years how more obvious can it get that income for most isn't going anywhere??? I make no claim that wages have fallen off a cliff in 2007 as I don't have data, perhaps you do. The point stands, and things are worse now in terms of raw buying power with inflation up and wheat/corn/oil soaring...
