If the national minimum wage had kept pace with productivity, says Schmitt, it would have been $22 per hour by 2013.
Instead it’s $7.25 today.
A few billionaires are even wealthier. In the United States, 536 people had a shared net worth of $2.6 trillion at the end of 2015.
These days even the top 0.01 percent isn’t immune from inequality.“Between
1979 and 2012, after accounting for inflation, the productivity of the average American worker increased about 85 percent. Over the same period, the inflation-adjusted wage of the median worker rose only about 6 percent, and the value of the minimum wage fell 21 percent.
The median household income in the United States fell by more than 7 percent between 1999 and 2014. It’s now slightly over $53,000.
