Afactor that I've not seen mentioned when the reclining wage rates are mentioned is the fact that many companies cut the older more mature workers to shed their higher salaries. They jeep, sometimes re-hire workers at the lowest salary-benefit levels possible to squeeze down payroll-benefits expenses. Also frees up more money for the CEO/upper echelon bonus fund. good read, thanks.

Great post, thank you for the excellent, common sense presentation.
