Why Is Wage Growth In Massachusetts Lagging Behind The Rest Of The Country?
ResumeEarlier this week, there was that splashy headline: "U.S. Census Bureau Announces A Big Jump In Median Household Income — 5.2% — The First Big Increase Since The Great Recession! The subhead is a little more sobering: Wages are still lagging behind where they were before the year 2000.
When it comes to the Massachusetts economy, the picture here is even more complicated. New analysis released today show that Bay State workers didn't even enjoy that 5.2 percent bump.
