The only way for wages to rise is through innovation. I have a R&D company. I can't see any other way
I see it as more of a demand and supply issues. I'm an engineer and all my unpaid overtime over the last few years never resulted in an adequate pay increase because too many qualified people want my job, despite the value it added the company, which leading the market in a competitive new technology. The bargaining power isn't there.
I see it as a supply and demand issue, too.
Supply of humans is so high that it has eroded bargaining power. Add in immigration and it is known that this has suppressed wage growth. Hence why I think in the 30s and beyond will be wild. The supply of humans will be reversed as global fertility trends continue. The WHO forecasted stat's on world population from 2050-2100, and beyond, shows a decrease. If this plays out houses are going to be cheap as chips through this period, and all the 'real estate empires' will lose their shirt.
