It is pretty important to understand what this study says. It does not say incomes are rising. It says people, over time, earn more. Absolutely groundbreaking. And......people, as they mature professionally, can stay ahead of inflation. But what's NOT happening is that pay rates for jobs are not keeping up with inflation. And....perhaps the reason this study did not study that question or reach that conclusion is because it is a well-documented fact. This study confuses the phenomenon of increased professional maturity with wage increases. The former is happening. The latter is not.

Supe, apparently you cannot read. THE STUDY IS INFLATION ADJUSTED! And the $200K EARNERS actually saw a DECREASE in the INFLATION ADJUSTED INCOME while the LOW END EARNERS saw THE LARGEST INCREASE in AFTER INFLATION income.
