Cheaper labor bump!
Falling wages is one of the many signs of our falling economy and corresponding integration into a North American Union.
The manufacturing and technological capacity of America has been raped by the politicians and CEOs. What remains is a finance-based economy. It won't last forever.
Its rather obvious that the third world labor supply is putting tremendous downward pressure on US labor wages. Mexico and Central America because of their proximity and direct immigration are substantial factors, but in my mind I lump all that Chinese and other asian labor in as well via the staggering trade deficit and offshoring of production. Even if the illegal immigration from Mexico ceased immediately, what does one do about the cents a day dirt cheap billions of Chinese laborors that will continue to put unrelenting downward pressure on US wages. Its not a rhetorical question.
