1. That says "hourly compensation" - it does not include any other forms of compensation, such as health benefits, pension benefits, paid vacation time, company cars, stock matching, expense accounts etc which all make up a much larger share of the value package for employees in basically every job that isn't flipping burgers.
2. It is for all employees. Technology makes the 2025 office worker infinitely more productive than they were in 1970. A spreadsheet that would take hours with an adding machine and a pen can be done in seconds with Excel. A McDonald's burger flipper in 2025 is flipping about the same amount of burgers per shift as his granddad did in 1970. Non-productive part-time "service" jobs, with low hourly wages and total compensation that's about 90% hourly wage, have made up a larger and larger share of jobs since 1950.
3. It does not include ever-increasing taxation on working income, such as social security/healthcare taxes, often sold to idiots as "taxes on employers" but of course 100% of which come out of employee compensation
4. It does not account for the incredible wage-suppressing effect on the bottom of the income pyramid by effectively doubling the low-end labor force thanks to equal rights
5. It does not account for the incredible wage-suppressing effect on the bottom of the income pyramid of mass immigration
It's absolute poisonous bullshit, fed to you by people who hate you and want you to ruin your own life.
