It therefore is problematic that recent productivity gains have not
significantly raised incomes for most American workers. In the quarter
century between 1980 and 2005, business productivity increased by 71%.
Over the same quarter century, median weekly earnings of full-time
workers rose from $613 to $705, a gain of only 14% (figures in 2005
dollars), as our recent research shows.
