Robert Oak — Worker Wage Inequality Myth Exposed


It's cyclical rather than structural.
In America today there is a crisis. That crisis is economic inequality. The U.S. workforce has been blamed and dismissed for the growing gap between rich and poor. Much effort has gone into blaming the victim. Americans have been called fat, lazy and stupid along with the never ending drumbeat claim U.S. workers are uneducated and do not have enough technological skills. The droning mantra to blame workers themselves for the growing income gap just got a loud blast ofnot so fast. Now a new study blows that blame the workers mantra out of the water. There is no evidence that technological shifts, a lack of education or the lack of technical skills is the cause of the great, growing cataclysmic chasm of income inequality in the United States.
