The same period has seen a massive growth of social inequality,
with income and wealth concentrated at the very top of American society to an
extent not seen since the 1920s.
“This study follows reports released over
the past several months documenting rising mortality rates among US workers due
to drug addiction and suicide, high rates of infant mortality, an overall leveling
off of life expectancy, and a growing gap between the life expectancy of the
bottom rung of income earners compared to those at the top.”
Census
Bureau: Mens’ Wages Remain Below 1973 Levels
Americans’ median pay
packets have been flat since 1973, even though the vastly expanded federal
government has justified its own salaries and its many massive spending
and policy programs as a sure-fire way to boost education, productivity, and
wages.
The colossal 44-year
failure of the federal government to help grow American men’s wages — or even
to reduce poverty rates — is laid bare in the latest report from the
Census Bureau, “Income and Poverty in the United States: 2016.”
The dense report includes myriad detailed tables of data around
one shocking chart, which reveals no growth in men’s wages for the past 44
years, or since President Richard Nixon was beginning his second term in
office.
The sudden flatline followed a 31 percent rise in all
men’s median wages from 1960 to 1972.
During the 44-year period since 1973, income among women grew by
roughly 30 percent as more skilled and trained women entered the market, gained
experience, and were promoted to better-paying jobs. Those opportunities and
contributions are good news — but they do not change the reality that men’s
income has been flat for 44 years.
In fact, the report notes that “the real median earnings of
full-time, year-round working men were 1.1 percent lower in 2016 than in 2007.”
There are many explanations
for the flat income, such as the massive growth in the labor supply when 30
million additional American women and roughly 30 million immigrants joined in
the marketplace competition for good jobs. For example, a pro-immigration panel
at the prestigious National Academies of Science estimated in 2016 that the
huge government-imposed inflow of immigrants since 1965 has imposed a
hidden 5 percent “immigration tax” on Americans’ pay
packets.
Technology has made many individuals workers more
productive but also sidelined many others, such as newspaper printers and
steelworkers. Peaceful international trade has allowed men to sell more
products overseas but also allowed employers to hire foreign workers instead of
Americans. Whatever the combinations of reasons, the mid-point for men’s income
has been flat for 43 years, according to the Census Bureau.
The flat-earnings chart needs some explanation:
It shows only inflation-adjusted, pre-tax pay packets, so it
excludes the impact of inflation, taxes and government benefits, such as
food-stamps and tax-breaks for children, or of Obamacare’s subsidies and
spending obligations.
It shows median income, which is the midpoint of the income
scale. Half the people earn above the line, half the people earn below the
line. Average income would be higher, but less revealing, because a higher
share of income is going to the highest earners, compared to back in the 1970s.
The chart shows the income of year-round, full-time workers,
excluding part-workers or seasonal workers, or those who work on-and-off under
contracts. The chart does not make distinctions by race.
The chart shows individuals’ income, not the income of
households, which has fluctuated as the average number of children or adults
has declined.
The chart only shows income, but not the quality of goods in the
stores, such as Starbucks coffee, cheap products imported from China, high-tech
music players, improved autos or better health-care. That rise in product
quality from competing companies — not claimed policy improvements from federal
agencies — has provided the vast majority of material gains for Americans amid
flat incomes.
The details are provided on
Table A-4, on page 49 of this PDF.
The median earnings for all men employed year-round was $51,640
in 2016, which is still far below the $54,030 earned by full-time men in 1973.
It is also below the $51,938 earned in the 2000 Internet boom, or the $52,222
earned in the 2007 property bubble when large-scale legal and illegal
immigration provided employers with millions of alternative imported workers.
The post-1973 reality of flat income is a huge contrast to the
rapid growth from 1960 up to the 1973 oil shock and the reopened inflow of
immigrant labor after 1965. During the twelves years 1960 to 1972, the
median average wages for all males — including minorities, seasonal workers,
and contract workers — rose from by 31 percent, from $31,926 to $41,013.
When the income of all men is gauged, the Bureau concluded that
all men’s median income in 1973 was $41,935. It dropped after 1973 and rose
back up to $43,360 in 1999 as companies competed for the few unemployed workers
during the first Internet boom. Income crashed in 2008 to a depression-low of
$39,636 in 2012 once the federal government’s real-estate bubble burst. Since
then, income has slowly climbed back to $42,220 in 2016 amid the continuous
public protest against the federal government’s cheap-labor economic strategy,
which is exemplified by the bipartisan 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty
legislation.
Other data in the report shows that the nation’s poverty rates
have barely budged since the 1960s, although many people in the United States
are wealthier than many people n Europe. For example, the percentage of
American said to be in poverty was 11.1 percent in 1973 and 12.7 percent
in 2016.
That national poverty rate climbed, in part, because of the
population of Latinos spiked from 10.8 million in 1973 to 57.6 million in 2016.
Poverty among Latinos was 19 percent in 2016, little changed from 1973.
The report also noted that:
The official poverty rate decreased by 0.8 percentage points
between 2015 and 2016. At 12.7 percent, the 2016 poverty rate is not
statistically different from 2007 (12.5 percent), the year before the most
recent recession.
In real terms, median earnings of full-time, year-round working
women in 2016 were 2.3 percent higher than their 2007 median, the year before
the most recent recession. The real median earnings of full-time, year-round
working men were 1.1 percent lower in 2016 than in 2007.
In 2017, the number and percentage of shared households remained
higher than in 2007, the year before the most recent recession. In 2007, 17.0
percent of all households were shared households, totaling 19.7 million
households. In 2017, 19.4 percent of all households were shared households,
totaling 24.6 million households.

Raise More
than a Quarter Trillion Dollars of Tax Revenue by Ending Tax Subsidies for
Unauthorized Employment of Illegal Aliens
CIS Backgrounder, August 31, 2017
https://cis.org/Report/Raise-More-Quarter-Trillion-Dollars-Tax-Revenue-Ending-Tax-Subsidies-Unauthorized-Employment
Excerpt: Aliens enter the United States without authorization for many reasons, but for most of them the goal is to secure employment at much higher wages than are available in their native countries. While breaking the law provides very significant economic benefits to these illegal workers and to the businesses that hire them, it comes at a cost to American workers. According to Harvard economist George Borjas, recent empirical research indicates that American workers suffer a reduction of $99 billion to $118 billion in annual wages because of illegal immigration.1
The economic rewards of unauthorized employment of aliens are not limited to the higher wages of the illegal workers and the lower labor costs of their employers. Unauthorized alien workers and their employers also enjoy multi-billion dollar tax deductions and tax credits that were enacted into law for the benefit of law-abiding workers and businesses.
The Right
Way to Save DACA: Now, Congress Must Ensure that E-Verify Goes National, and
That Chain Immigration As We Know It Ends
By Mark Krikorian
The New York Daily News, September 5, 2017,
President
Trump has arranged a soft landing for the illegal immigrants benefiting from
President Barack Obama’s unconstitutional DACA program. Now it’s up to Congress
to craft a solution for this unique category of illegal immigrants — in a way
that doesn’t do more harm than good.
The Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals program might well have ended abruptly Tuesday,
by judicial order, since 10 states had threatened to sue if the administration
didn’t act — with a deadline of this week. Instead, the nearly 800,000 illegal
immigrants will be able to keep their work permits for up to 21/2 more years,
as the program is wound down.
Whatever the
merits of the individuals involved — illegal immigrants who sneaked across the
border or overstayed a visa before age 16 — the DACA program itself is illegal
and had to be ended. No less an authority than Obama said in 2011 that enacting
what would eventually become DACA “would not conform with my appropriate role
as President.”
BLOG: SEE JUDICIAL WATCH ON ILLEGALS VOTING BELOW
But as the
2012 election neared, his aides saw that Hispanic voter registration numbers
were below the 2008 level and panicked. So to energize Hispanic voters to go to
the polls and vote for an administration that had not delivered on its
immigration promises, Obama decreed DACA.
The program
provides more than just a two-year, renewable exemption from immigration law;
it also results in a work permit, Social Security number, driver’s licenses,
access to the Earned Income Tax Credit welfare program and more.
The question
now is, What will Congress do with the six-month grace period before DACA
permits start expiring?
The DACAs
aren’t just the most sympathetic group of illegal immigrants; they’re a special
case. Though almost all are now in their 20s and 30s, they grew up here and
have developed their identities as Americans. Some didn’t even know they were
illegal aliens until they went to get a driver’s license in high school.
So an amnesty
for them — and only for them — can be justified as a prudent act of mercy.
There’s a lot of support for amnestying the DACAs, even among immigration hawks
like Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.).
But any
measure considered by Congress would be harmful unless it addressed the two
drawbacks of any amnesty.
One, all
amnesties encourage future illegal immigration — by sending the message abroad
that crime pays, as it were — and they set in motion future increases in legal
immigration, as relatives of the amnesty recipients take advantage of the
chain-migration provisions of our current immigration program.
That’s why
any legislative solution to this problem must include both enforcement measures
and legal immigration cuts. Though the President has made a border wall a
centerpiece of his enforcement strategy, he already has all the authority he
needs from Congress to build one; he only needs some extra funding, which in
and of itself would be an insufficient tradeoff for legalizing DACA.
The chief
item the President needs from Congress regarding enforcement is to require
universal use of the E-Verify program. This is a free, online system that
enables employers to check the information they already have to collect from a
new hire (name, age, authorization to work) and to ensure he is telling the
truth about who he is.
Last year,
roughly half of all new hires were screened through the system, but use of the
system is still voluntary. Only Congress can make it mandatory, which would be
the single most important step toward weakening the magnet of jobs that drew
the parents of the DACAs here in the first place.
The second element Congress must
incorporate in any DACA amnesty is abolition
of the immigration categories that permit
chain migration of an endless procession of
relatives. Fully two-thirds of the million legal
immigrants we take in each year are selected
because they already have relatives here.
After an
amnesty for the DACAs, they would be able to bring in their relatives,
including the parents who put them in this difficult position in the first
place. Cotton’s RAISE Act would, among other things, focus family immigration
only on husbands, wives and little kids, ensuring that any DACA amnesty would
not create a future surge of immigration.
A stand-alone DACA amnesty would, at least, be legal. But it
would be a mistake. These young people must be granted formal permission to
stay in a way that limits the harmful
Princeton Economist: Nearly Half of U.S. Men Who Dropped Out of
Workforce on Opioid Painkillers
The opioid crisis is growing in America, and it may be the reason many
men are dropping and staying out of the workforce, according to a new study.
Nearly
half of the men in the U.S. who dropped out of the workforce are on opioid
painkillers, Princeton University economist Alan Krueger wrote in a Brookings
Institute study released this week.
“The
opioid crisis and depressed labor-force participation are now intertwined in
many parts of the U.S.,” Krueger wrote in the Brookings Institute study.
Krueger
found that nearly half of the men surveyed “take pain medication on a daily
basis, and in nearly two-thirds of these cases they take prescription pain
medication.”
“Labor
force participation has fallen more in areas where relatively more opioid pain
medication is prescribed,” he wrote.
Krueger
said the men surveyed took painkillers either as a result of being out of the
workforce for a prolonged period or because they had a condition that required
the use of painkillers and could not work because of the condition.
“The
results of this survey underscore the role of pain in the lives on nonworking
men, and the widespread use of prescription pain medication,” he wrote. “Fully
47 percent of NLF (not in labor force) prime age men responded that they took
pain medication on the previous day.”
He
added that nearly two-thirds of the men who took pain medication said they were
taking prescription meds.
“These
figures likely understate the actual proportion of men taking prescription pain
medication given the stigma and legal risk associated with reporting taking
narcotics,” Krueger said.
NBC
News cites data from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics that show the labor force participation rate, comprised of
people who are working or actively looking for work, reached an all-time high
of 67.3 percent in the U.S. in early 2000.
The
labor force participation rate reached a 40-year low in September 2015, dipping
to 62.4 percent, as the American economy grew very slowly under
former President Barack Obama.
Krueger
said the labor participation rate in the past decade declined faster than the
decade preceding it.
“The
share of non-college educated young men who did not work at all over the entire
year rose from 10 percent in 1994 to more than 20 percent in 2015,” he wrote.
The
decline roughly coincides with the beginning of the opioid epidemic, when the
number of unintentional overdoses from prescription painkillers quadrupled since 1999, according
to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
A
survey from NIDA found that 91.8 million
people, roughly one in three Americans, used opioid painkillers such as Vicodin
and OxyContin in 2015.
President
Trump declared the national opioid
crisis a “state of emergency” on August 10 and vowed to “fight the deadly
epidemic.”
Does H-1B Fraud Lead to More Jail Time than the
Hiring of Illegal Aliens?
By David North
CIS Blog, September 8, 2017
https://cis.org/North/Does-H1B-Fraud-Lead-More-Jail-Time-Hiring-Illegal-Aliens
Excerpt: Now, given the fact that there are about 900,000 H-1Bs in the country at any one time, and about eight times as many illegal alien workers, why do I have the impression of more enforcement of the H-1B law, than of employer sanctions? At least proportionally? Not that there is much of either.
Given the numbers cited above, there should be roughly eight times as many employer sanctions court cases as H-1B ones. In both kinds of cases the employer is exploiting aliens, shouldering aside U.S. workers, and violating the INA. There would seem to be a moral equivalence here, one violation being as deplorable as the other.

Winning: Companies Hire Americans Instead of Foreign
Visa Workers
AP
President Donald Trump’s
populist “Hire American” policy is forcing employers to hire more Americans at
higher wages, theWall Street Journal admits.
The pressure is highlighted by seasonal
employers in Massachusetts who were forced to hire Americans when Trump’s
populist coalition stymied their lobbying efforts to expand the use of H-2B
foreign contract workers. According to the Journal, which has
long urged the large-scale use of foreign workers:
“I have more Americans working than I’ve ever
had,” says Josh Aronie, executive chef at the Home Port Restaurant in the
Vineyard fishing village of Menemsha. He also reports his restaurant has been
short of staff and many of the workers he does have don’t know the basics of
cooking or even how to read the orders…
Nationwide data on the leisure and hospitality
sector also shows a tightening labor market. In June, average hourly earnings
in the sector increased 4% from a year earlier, according to government data
analyzed by Moody’s Analytics …
At the Home Port Restaurant in Menemsha, Mr.
Aronie recalls meeting with his small staff in a panic this June just a few
days before the scheduled opening. He had applied for 18 H-2B visa workers and
received none. Because of the staffing crunch, the restaurant initially was open
just five nights a week, and didn’t open for lunch until late July. Mr. Aronie
jokes about the qualification he requires for hiring: “Are you breathing?
Excellent.” He has paid a premium to hire three people via a Boston-based temp
agency.
Many seasonal employers prefer to hire H-2B
workers instead of Americans because those visa workers must stay with the
company for the entire season and must work at government-set hourly rates.
Those lower rates for seasonal workers also allow employers to pay lower rates
to full-time, year-round American staff.
Employers also prefer foreign workers because
the current pool of unemployed Americans includes many immature and untrained
youths, unmotivated adults on government aid programs, plus marginalized
Americans, such as inner-city youths and unemployed drug users who are the
customers of the Mexican drug cartels.
Amid pressure from donors, GOP leaders tried
this year to expand the H-2B program from roughly 115,000 H-2B workers up to
roughly 200,000 resident H-2B workers. But the lobbyists and GOP leaders —
including House Speaker Paul Ryan — were largely blockedby John Kelly when he was serving as the secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security. Kelly allowed only an extra 15,000 H-2B
workers, and promised to oppose any increase in 2018.
The public’s opposition to greater use of H-2B
has also forced employers in other states to recruit and pay Americans.
The Journal reported:
In Alaska, Silver Bay Seafoods, a big user of
the program, received 31 H-2B visas this year for workers to help process
salmon, down from more than 900 in 2016. The company responded by spending more
than $1 million to recruit workers in 32 states, plus U.S. territories such as
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
“It’s very difficult to find people to do this
work,” says Joe Misenti, general counsel for Silver Bay. The company succeeded
in hiring about 1,600 workers, replacing all of the foreign workers with
Americans, counting those from the U.S. territories.
The same trend is visible in the agriculture
sector, where the loss of cheap illegal aliens is forcing employers to raise
wages and also to hire Americans to build and operate labor-saving farm machinery.
The result of the H-2B fight boosts the growing
evidence that young Americans will gain if the federal government reduces the
annual inflow of foreign temporary workers.
In 2016, for example, federal data shows
that former President Barack Obama gave federal “Employment
Authorization Document” work permits to at least 2.3 million migrants for U.S. jobs, and approved visas for
roughly 500,000 outsourcing workers, such as the H-1B white-collar workers,
H-2B blue-collar workers and H-2A agriculture workers. Those temporary workers
were in addition to the routine inflow of 1 million legal immigrants and
roughly 400,000 illegal immigrants.
The combined inflow delivered almost 4 million legal foreign workers to Americans’ economy in 2016, just as 4
million young Americans turned 18 and began looking for decently paid jobs.
Many polls show that Americans
are very generous, they do welcome individual immigrants, and they do want to
like the idea of immigration. But the polls also show that most Americans are
increasingly worried that large-scale legal immigration will change their
country and disadvantage themselves and their children.
The current annual flood of foreign labor spikes profits and Wall Street
values by cutting salaries for manual and
skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It also drives
up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, and
sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and their
families.
