#1 some of the decline in wages is because more senior and skilled workers are saying 'good by' to the work force

hard to measure this

#2 Even tougher to measure once you factor in all the forced firings because of the vaccine mandate.

The one angle on that I'll thoroughly enjoy - watching shitloads of state government 'workers' getting axed.

#3 Have to disagree. The senior workers would be predominantly white. The wage table shows that only whites slightly increased their wages. All other groups wages dropped. That is before inflation is taken into account.

#4 I don't think you can properly infer seniority from this data.

BTW, black women had a increase in wage rate while Asians, both women and men had significant declines

This may be due to the industry they are in. For example, workers in nail salons, beauty shops and hair styling shops may be limited in the hours they are allowed to work or limited by how long they can wear a mask.

#5 ...in other words, small mom and pop business the government is keeping shuttered or for lack of supplies?

/\ We (deplorables) have not yet learned our purchasing lessons. Available inventories will be funneled to the larger, Chinese supported outlets. If they aren't aleaady, Mom & Pop will soon become history.
