Wages for the Men’s Working Class Have Plummeted Over Past 40 Years

Male high school grads working full time earn 25% less these days, and if accounting for those not working or working only part time, aggregate wages are lower by nearly half. These are men who simply followed the rules, got their diploma, and started in the workforce. Now, they're finding it far harder to find steady, full-time work than their fathers did. Wages earned are now dramatically less than their fathers'.

Why are we surprised, you play by the rules work crap ass "hard" jobs that so called more intelligent people (because they have a piece of paper that says they have book smarts), would never consider doing. Who make a crap load of more than descent livable wages (which they bitch about?), which is all any hard working human with their one life deserves. At least socialist countries give everyone an apprenticeship for a livable wage job. Not here, your on your own and if you don't have any family or friends support like "a lot" of us don't, your screwed. Welcome to America where we once had a dream that is now becoming a nightmare for the working class! F*#% all you Repugs, Tea Twits, Conservatwats with your dumb ass base and leaders who all support the Corporations while killing this country with lies, cronyism, demagoguery, plutocracy, criminal loop holes and unfair tax breaks for the greed monsters. Welcome to the "Divided States of America"
