What’s your point? Just because it’s widespread doesn’t mean we just sit there and say “we’ll I guess that’s our lot it life”. If every industry is in the same boat and we all wait for other industries to push back, we will all stay in the same old vortex of reducing standards of living.
P.S. wage stagnation is not what we have seen. In many industries there has been positive downward pressure on wages all while the true cost of living rises rapidly.
