Wage Gaps and the Risk of Unified Pay in Industry
The labor department notes a long decline in the pay gap between skilled and unskilled workers. From 1943 to 1947 average industry wages rose 32.3 percent, with skilled labor gaining only 27.7 percent while semi skilled and unskilled rose 34.5 and 35.7 percent. If the trend toward uniform wages continues, skilled labor may face reduced incentives, potentially undermining industrial leadership and innovation. The piece contrasts this with American capitalism and Soviet slogans, warning against eroding the payoff system that rewards skill.
