In real terms, wages no longer rose (indeed, the average real wage has been stagnant for 25 years in the US), and a growing share of manpower (currently around 15%) was without steady employment. Everywhere, the share of wages and incomes began to fall as a proportion of GDP.
在实际情况下，工资不再提高（的确，在美国平均实际工资已经滞胀了25年）。而比例日增的劳动力（目前占总量的15%）也不能够稳定就业。在各地，工资和收入占GDP的比例也开始下降。其结果是消费疲软、非稳定就业增加而失业率停止下降。
