Prosperity Means Balance of Prices and Wages for Workers
A Washington analysis cites a 1902 to 1907 purchasing power decline, showing a dollar buys less now. The piece uses a Massachusetts labor report compiled largely by Republicans to argue costs of living outpace wage gains, with many heads of families unable to meet expenditures. It notes prices of essentials rising faster than wages, challenging the idea of true prosperity.
