Work Reform
17140 readers
2424 users here now
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Nothing broke, everything is working as intended
Needs log scale
Not trying to refute this at all, but I'd love to see this same graph normalized for inflation.
That would be interesting, but I'm not sure how useful it would be given that "inflation" itself is a heavily massaged and manipulated metric. It's one of the many layers of the illusion that the powers that be craft to separate us from the physical reality of why so many more of us have to work harder for the same or less. It only reflects actual reality to the extent it is politically necessary to so it can maintain some semblance of legitimacy. It may be better than nothing for adjusting such charts but it's also misleading in its own way.
