Shocking data revision by feds: Americans’ wages dropped 4.2% instead of
rising in the first quarter
By Thomas Lifson
Wages for Americans are dropping at a rapid rate, instead of rising as the
feds had claimed. This shocking news -- making President Obama’s claim
that the economy has recovered from the great recession laughable – was
buried in a report on second quarter earnings, and has barely registered in
the nation’s media, which are anxious to elect Hillary Clinton.
Neil Munro of Breitbart summarizes the changes:
“Real hourly compensation decreased 0.4 percent after revision, rather
than the previously-published increase of 4.2 percent,” the BLS admitted.
Compensation also fell another 1.4 percent in the second quarter, from April
to June, the BLS admitted in the same report. That’s 2 percent drop in
wages since December.
Pay shrank 0.3 percent in 2013, rose a mere 1.1 percent in 2014, but
rose a promising 2.7 percent in 2015, according to the BLS.
Based on the erroneous data, President Obama has been taking victory laps on
the economy.
In June, Obama cited the mistaken 2016 wage-growth claim while arguing
the economy was finally helping ordinary Americans. “Let’s get wages
rising faster,” Obama declared in a speech at Concord Community High School
, Elkhart, Indiana.
I also know that I’ve spent every single day of my presidency focused
on what I can do to grow the middle class and increase jobs, and boost wages
… Here’s the good news: Wages are actually growing at a rate of about 3
percent so far this year. That’s the good news. Working Americans are
finally getting a little bigger piece of the pie. But we’ve got to
accelerate that.
That speech was advertised as his first speech of the 2016 campaign, and
he continued his wage-boosting theme during his July 27 speech at the
Democratic Convention;
If you’re really concerned about pocketbook issues and seeing the
economy grow, and creating more opportunity for everybody, then the choice
isn’t even close. If you want someone with a lifelong track record of
fighting for higher wages, and better benefits, and a fairer tax code, and a
bigger voice for workers … you should vote for Hillary Clinton.
Don’t expect Obama to revise his comments, and don’t expect the media to
inform the public that wages are falling fast. Voters will have to figure
that out for themselves, unless Donald Trump starts harping on wages in his
speeches. And even then….
