Supply Factors and Stagnant Wages
Blue collar workers’ real wages have stagnated because of labor supply factors. These include:
-The baby boom
-Immigration
-DiversityThey have also stagnated because of:
-Health insurance costs and
-Costs of bureaucracy due to workplace regulation.Social stratification has increased because of:
-Urban renewal and disruption of blue collar social networks and
-Unnecessary college degree requirements.In other words, supply factors and government intervention have caused the stagnation of blue collar real wages that the US has suffered in the past 30 years.
