The economic
article notes, "the boom stopped
rolling several years ago.”
In terms of constant 1957-59 dol-
lars. the typical non-supervisory
worker averaged $78.23 a week in
take-home pay in 1967, six cents
less than in 1966 and 30 cents less
than in 1965.
The story notes that the de-
cline would be even greater “if
the figures also took into account
steadily rising state and local
sales and property taxes, all of
which bite into purchasing power.”
It adds pointedly:
“Labor’s emerging mood isn’t
likely to be softened by this lit-
tle-publicized fact: The pay of su-
pervisory personnel, such as $100,-
000-plus executive, has been rising
relatively rapidly.”
Not only supervisors are com-
ing out ahead of the cost-of-living.
“Since 1961, dividend income has
grown some 30 percent more rap-
idly than wage-salary income.”
In addition to salary increases—
an average of close to 5 percent
last year — supervisory officials
often made profits from corpora-
tion stock option plans that en-
abled them to purchase securities
the stagnation or decline of earn-
ings has been a continued expan-
sion of fringe benefits and a
shorter workweek.
A few trades have managed to
increase their purchasing power,
although the rise is generally
small. But overall, as one govern-
ment economist is quoted, “rela-
tively speaking, the income of the
average worker in private indus-
' try has been stagnating.”
