Incidentally, Marx identified this precise problem in Das Kapital
Who cares? The employers who have to provide benefits for people who work >X hours, that’s who.
Wage growth surpassed inflation every month this year.
Not saying you’re wrong or I disagree with your sentiment.
Across all wages combined? What if you just look at people who make <100k?
