But the facts don't seem to back you up.Most "new/replacement" jobs have lower wage with 20-30% reductions...Wages do seem to be down in your area, but not nearly as much as you think. Perhaps perfect you perfect are only looking at a small subset of the jobs available?Perhaps there are some markets in the US that are perfect doing fantastic...The rest of Massachusetts seems to be doing better after a slight drop in 2002....all of which translate to a work force that has a sharply-decreasing standard of life...Again, perhaps that is true in your immediate area, but the nation as a whole is not experiencing a lowered standard of living. |

There have been some claims that structural changes in the economy have resulted in an undercount of discouraged workers in recent years, but there in not a concensus about that theory. |
