Real wage growth concentrated in seven years of tight labor, Arin Dube notes
Real wage growth in tight labor markets

A significant portion of real wage growth for the bottom half of income earners between 1979 and 2019 occurred during just seven years when labor markets were especially tight, according to Arin Dube.

Dube also highlights that real wage gains have been observed in the past 10 years, coinciding with periods when the U.S. unemployment rate was low.

Dube has previously pointed to a dysfunctional dynamic between asset markets and the U.S. president as a factor in recent events. He has also discussed how higher order beliefs can shape asset prices during periods of conflict. These comments add context to his recent observations on wage trends and labor market tightness.
