re: #104 Obdicut

No, you don’t get my point. You’re responding with anecdote, and making a category mistake. I’m not talking about class mobility in the least, I’m talking about the level or real wages for people in those classes. If they move from one class to another, then they’re no longer in that class.

The US, however, has much lower economic mobility than many other nations— that, too, has slowed and stagnated.

Well, I am making less money now than I was making 10 years ago, BUT, that is my choice to remain competitive in a recession. I also don’t NEED as much money as I did 10 years ago when I had kids in private school and college.
