Cool! Thanks for that.

Breitbart quoting and sourcing the right wing conservative "Center for Immigration Studies".

A fair and balanced link if I ever saw one.

Next come the "Basement Blogs" with a Gadsden Flag in the background.

Actually it's been the mainstream republican argument lately. You are right about the phony part.

Plus the part-time jobs are out pacing full-time jobs, so the average median income is not keeping up.

The top income earners are not working part-time jobs, so as more of the lower income earners are only able to get part-time jobs the divide between incomes will continue to widen.

Hold on: Jobs Report Wasn't So Great After All - CNBC

But wait, there's more: The jobs that were created skewed heavily toward lower quality. Full-time jobs declined by 150,000, while part-time positions increased by 77,000.

Your second link from Stanford is huge(60 pages),do you mind giving me a page number that proves your point ???
The lower classes increase in pay is offset by inflation, which has a much lower impact on the upper classes.

November’s Jobs Report Crushed It | FiveThirtyEight

Not just jobs. Good jobs: One of the fears in the recovery has been that while the economy is creating more jobs, it isn’t necessarily creating the right kind. But that’s been less true in recent months. In November, job growth was spread across industries, with construction, manufacturing, finance and other generally well-paying sectors posting strong gains. Meanwhile, fewer people are getting stuck in part-time jobs. The number of people working part time because they can’t find full-time work is at its lowest level since the recession (although it remains high by historical standards).

Economists see revved-up US economy next year

It looks like we will see stronger economic growth next year as well. I remember back in 2009, economists were saying that it could take as long as 5 years to see a stronger recovery take root. It seemed like so far off back then, but alas, here we are!

We're these the same economists that didn't see the housing crash?

Globally it is taking even longer than five years.
