Over the summer there was some concern in the media about falling wages during the current barely perceptible economic recovery. Nationwide, Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that inflation-adjusted average hourly wages have been trending downward since late 2010. Similar wage declines occurred, starting at various times in 2009 or 2010, in most major industries. Because wages don’t usually fall even during the most severe recessions, this is (bad) news.

About AngelouEconomics
AngelouEconomics works with numerous professional and business associations in building dozens of unique economic impact studies among other types of projects including site selection projects as well as strategic economic development projects. Some projects examine the effects of statewide policy measures, such as the Texas Bathroom Bill or ban on Sanctuary Cities. Other projects measure the contribution of member networks in terms of jobs, wages, and total economic output like this study for Prospera, a nonprofit organization specializing in providing bilingual assistance to Hispanic entrepreneurs in Florida. Economic impact studies are effective tools for quantifying and illustrating the value of individual professional and business associations. They are versatile, as they can illustrate the value or impact of a specific policy or quantify the economic contribution of your members to the local, regional, and nationwide economies. We also know entrepreneurship inside-out. We achieved our own entrepreneurial success by forming the International Accelerator (IA). Our program attracts over 1,500 applicants from around the world and selects 10-12 startups each year to fund and accelerate their growth in the US market.
