He doesn't even realize that the graphic he posted averages ALL private sector jobs... salaried, and hourly.

It displayed "average hourly earnings" in ALL private sector jobs, meaning salaried AND hourly positions.... which makes it irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
"Total Hourly Earnings of All Employees, Total Private"
Go have a look... idiot.
Your question is irrelevant... just like your graphic was.
He lost this argument before it ever started.

Less than 2% of the population makes 500k or more. To move the needle, they'd have to get MASSIVE raises.
The median salary is 59,000

That still doesn't make your graphic relevant to the OP or Huey's comment.
Spin on son... it's one thing you actually do well.

Data from November 2023 show that 57 percent of workers’ wages grew, on an annual basis, more quickly than inflation since November 2022. (see Figure 2) Three and a half years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, then, this share stands above its pre-pandemic (2017–2019) average. After the onset of the Great Recession, it took essentially six years—until the end of 2013—for a similar share of workers to begin seeing real annual wage raises. The share of workers of color who received an inflation-adjusted raise in November 2023 is identical to the share of workers overall.8

That's from the CPS, which you were saying was irrelevant earlier in this thread when the same tool was used to support the OP that you also said was junk.
I guess it only matters if it supports your narrative huh?
Either way, it still doesn't change the fact that the graphic you posted yesterday is irrelevant to the OP or Huey's comment.
That's strike three dumb ***.
Yer out!

What point do you think you're making?*rippy38 » 12 Apr 2024, 7:26 am » wrote: ↑ Key paragraph from your source... with highlights for impact.
The median inflation-adjusted change in workers’ hourly earnings was about 45 cents, which translates to a more than $900 annual increase for a worker who works full time, year-round.
Now go read the OP again and get back to me...
So there must be a lot of people working part time "for economic reasons"...right?*rippy38 » 12 Apr 2024, 7:26 am » wrote: ↑ Key paragraph from your source... with highlights for impact.

And I showed you how.
You ran from it.
Do you want to try again?
If the STATED threshold for statistical significance is +/- 600,000 (for a 90% confidence insterval), is 6,000 statistically significant?
If not, your citation's thesis is bunk.
