Although the theft of workers’ sweat of the brow is even more obvious
today, the erosion began about three decades ago. Joel Rogers,
director of the Center on Wisconsin Strategy, has made a recent

the past 30 years, “median family income in the U.S. would be about
$20,000 higher today than it is.”
