Let me tell you what some other people say, though: 1  The EWGâs Skin Deep Database lists it as a 5-6 (or moderate hazard), but trying to find the studies they used for their rating proved difficult, and the ones I did find were the nebulous âborax or boric acidâ test studies.
1 This is so because, my nominal wages have increased by 10% while the average price level (CPI) has increased by only 5%. 2  Thus today (in 2010) with my higher nominal wage ($1100.00) I can buy more than I could buy last year.
If, in a free market, the poor especially benefited, wages would need to increase faster than productivity in order for the worker to obtain an increased share of social wealth. However, if this were the case, the amount of profit going to the upper classes would be proportionally smaller.
