Since 2000, median annual wages in the United States have increased by 69%.
But over the past 20 years
- hospital services have become more expensive by 200%
- College tuition increased by 175%
- Child care prices have increased by 125%
- Food and drinks prices have increased by 75%
- Housing prices have increased by 75%
Median wages may not keep up with average inflation.
But a significant part of the population is clearly lagging behind.
