Meanwhile I'm doing press events, admitting that most if not all of last year's job growth can be attributed to illegal immigration. Suggesting we may not see that "growth" going forward. Without anyone even making the connection to average wages... 🧐
Goodness
I didn't know it was that bad over there
What happened in 1951?
LLM says:
Around 1950–1951, the Korean War triggered a sharp inflation spike, with consumer prices rising faster than wages could adjust.
If this chart mixes—or poorly adjusts for—nominal wages and real (inflation-adjusted) wages, it can create the appearance of a sudden “drop” that’s really just a lag in purchasing power, not wages being slashed.
Thanks thats what I was thinking.. didn't make sense for wages to suddenly drop in a post-war boom
Never forget what you lived through.

The value of a house has not gone up. Adjusted for the raw materials plus labour it has slightly decreased for same comparable house. The real story is wage deflation.
